Archive Terraform Crash File (errored.tfstate) - Failed to save state/Failed to persist state to backend

[vincentclee]

The Terraform Crash File (errored.tfstate) file is lost when Terraform Pipeline finishes with a failure. Save the (errored.tfstate) when the errors occur to persist state to backend.

Example Fix

post {
    always {
        script {
            if (fileExists("errored.tfstate")) {
                archiveArtifacts artifacts: "errored.tfstate", fingerprint: true
            }
        }
    }
}

Error Message

 ╷
 │ Error: Failed to persist state to backend
 │ 
 │ The error shown above has prevented Terraform from writing the updated
 │ state to the configured backend. To allow for recovery, the state has been
 │ written to the file "errored.tfstate" in the current working directory.
 │ 
 │ Running "terraform apply" again at this point will create a forked state,
 │ making it harder to recover.
 │ 
 │ To retry writing this state, use the following command:
 │     terraform state push errored.tfstate
