How to use conditional post action in Jenkins pipeline?

Question

I am using Jenkins declarative pipeline and want to perform some post build actions depending on the build status.

To be more precise, I want these conditions to be true:

beforeAgent true && jobName == 'Cypress Test'

Here's my code:

post {
        always {
            script {
                passwordIDs.each{ pw ->
                    credentialFetch.deleteTemporaryCredential(env.BUILD, pw, expireTime)
                  }
              }
        }
    }

Any idea where can I use my conditions? Also, how to use them since Post doesn't support when condition

You can use normal if condition within the script block in the post conditions as you would do with a normal stage. For example, I have used this in one of my jobs:

post {
    failure {
        script {
            def response = httpRequest '${env.BUILD_URL}/consoleText'
            if (response.content.contains("Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts")){
                env.BUILD_FAILURE_MESSAGE = "Checkout Failing! Make sure that there are no merge conflicts...
            } else {
                env.BUILD_FAILURE_MESSAGE = "Checkout Failing! Check the build log and re-run the build if the issue seems unrelated to your commit...
            }
        }
    }
}

As you can see, it is a normal if condition that checks if the string contains text. You should be able to use your conditions in a similar manner:

if (beforeAgent && jobName == 'Cypress Test')
