Ruth Morgenstein commented on JENKINS-9159: ------------------------------------------- I have a 2-step job chain: Step 1 - git checkout & build Step 2 - unit tests I pass the GIT_BRANCH as a parameter to the test job and want to use the buld-name-setter in the 2nd job, but this bugs prevents it. I've worked around this bug by doing a throw-away git checkout (to set GIT_BRANCH) using the passed branch name, but it would be nice if I didn't have to add this unneeded step. > use a parameter value or an environment value for setting the build name > build-name-setter-plugin > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JENKINS-9159 > URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-9159 > Project: Jenkins > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build-name-setter > Reporter: farshidce > > the set build description plugin allows the user to use one of the env > variables or the job's parameter in setting the description.the > build-name-setter-plugin doesn't accept such parameter though. > ideally we can have one plugin that let the user to set the build_name and > build_description. > this is not a core bug but i couldn't find a component for > build-name-setter-plugin -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
