[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-23333) Label display wrong when using operators in expression

[dan...@beckweb.net (JIRA)]

Daniel Beck commented on JENKINS-23333 Label display wrong when using operators in _expression_ Looks great! labels assigned to jobs are not normalized by Jenkins: if the user enters “jdk7&&master” in one job and “master&&jdk7” in another one, they will be seen as two different labels. The plugin follows this behavior, and puts these jobs in two distinct categories Makes sense. Jenkins doesn't consider them equal either despite Label implementing Comparable. the new page lists all jobs that reference the specific label, regardless of the meaning of the full label. So “windows&&!msbuild” jobs will be shown on the page for label “msbuild”. As a user I think it makes sense functionally, and the reason why a job is shown on the page is clearly stated (“Job(s) configured with <label_something>”) Makes sense. Since it groups by label, it's clear that labels may be inverted (only those "NOT something"), or even useless (label||!label and similar, less obvious rules). while I was testing that I noticed that it’s possible to assign labels to a node starting with !. This leads to unexpected behavior. Not sure if it’s worth reporting it (maybe it’s already reported?) Not sure what you mean. If the node is called 'foo' and you specify '!foo' as label, it'll run on any other node (!windows could be a shortcut for e.g. osx||linux||solaris in a particular setup). If OTOH the node is called '!foo' because the naming conventions don't take label expressions into account (didn't check whether that's possible though), reporting that would be useful. Seems related to similar reports of brokenness related to labels. for the display of each group of jobs I used the standard projects’ list view Personally I find these list view lists very noisy and would prefer a minimal view similar to what is shown on the label index page for exact matches, but I recognize that's subjective and your use case may even require it to look like that.
