Jenkins Job status is SUCCESS but Ansible playbook fails

I am executing ansible playbook from Jenkins scripted pipeline and I need help in capturing ansible playbook status (success/failed).

sh "ansible-playbook -i <args>"

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

serverName : ok=4 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1

[Pipeline] End of Pipeline

Finished: SUCCESS

In the above example, I have 1 failure but Jenkins job status is SUCCESS. How can I change the Jenkins job status to FAIL when playbook has at least 1 failure?

sh "ansible-playbook -i <args>"

I would guess the shell block is not set to set -e and thus, like most shell scripts, it does not consider a failed command to be a failure of the script as a whole. A grave antipattern, IMHO, but easily the majority of the scripts I've seen

So, I believe sh "set -e; ansible-playbook -i ..." will straighten that out, or (in theory) you can use exec since that is the only command present, and thus the failure of ansible-playbook is the failure of that shell: sh "exec ansible-playbook -i ..."
