Summary: There appears to be no way to cause an Archive action failure by returning an error from a Pre-action script. Output to stderr is ignored, as are non-zero exit values. This is highly undesirable because any script failure is very difficult to notice/find. Steps to Reproduce: Add a new Run Script Action under the Archive action's "Pre-actions" section. The script can be as simple as "exit 1". For fun, echo some text to stderr. Expected Results: A non-zero exit code from a Pre-action script should cause the Archive action to fail. Output to stderr (or even stdout) should be shown in the build log. Actual Results: The failure is completely ignored. No output is shown in the build log.
