Node description string missing from Configuration Matrix's Node/Label section

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Icon: Minor Minor
    • core, matrix-project-plugin
    • None
    • Jenkins version 1.596.1 LTS with latest plugin versions as of 16 march 15. Upgrading from earlier version.
      Jenkins master OS: Centos6.5
      Jenkins being run directly
      Browser is Firefox 35.0.1 or IE 11

      To reproduce:
      1. Create a slave node with a label name LABEL.
      2. Create a matrix job.
      3. In the matrix job, add a slave in the Configuration Matrix section.
      4. Choose a label or node from the dropdowns in this section.

      You will see something like this in each reference to the slave node and label:

      nodename (null)

      The string (null) used to be the description from the slave node configuration. Now it is the string 'null'. This is shown in the attachment.

          This probably broke in 1.580 when I added configurable descriptions for LabelAtoms, completely missing that they already had generated descriptions.

          Is there any chance that these generated descriptions could (also) be made available? It's really convenient when configuring a job/selecting labels, to know what machines are being used (and if they are online). Our workaround is to populate the LabelAtom description with the member label nodes, but that's a manual process meaning the info can be out of date (and is tedious to input). Thanks!

          Does this problem still occur with the latest 1.x Jenkins versions? If so, are there any plans to fix it?
