    Description

      With this release jenkins changed the build identifier to the build number (instead of timestamp). Now the BUILD_NUMBER and BUILD_ID both return the build number and there is no way to get the timestamp from the environment variables.
      According to the documentation BUILD_ID should return the timestamp.

      BUILD_ID
      The current build id, such as "2005-08-22_23-59-59" (YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss)

      Possible fixes:

      • Change BUILD_ID to return the timestamp
      • Add Env-Var BUILD_TIMESTAMP or similar
