Why does the following powershell error not cause the step to “fail”?

2013-11-05 17:14:50 INFO Job successful. Tentacle output follows:

I’ve remedied this issue by making sure to pipe to Write-Host as well as using a trap at the top of each of my powershell steps just in case.

trap { write-output $_; exit 1; }
