build-name-setter 1.3
Currently:
"The update actually happens twice during the build; once right after the check out, and once before the build is completed."
Problem:
When check out takes a long time (e.g. several libraries are being checked out), build name does not update immediately, although, it is already in the "building" state.
Improvement:
Provide an option to update build name before check-out.
Benefit:
Users can use this option if they do not need any information from the source code/libraries being checked out for their build name (i.e. build name makes use of Build Parameters). Build name will then update immediately for such cases.
Might be a bit hacky but could add a build step called "Set Build Name" that then triggers setting the name
[EDIT] : Git repo does actually make mention of this with screenshots: https://github.com/jenkinsci/build-name-setter-plugin/blob/master/README.md ; however, unsure if out-of-date since that build option "Update build name" doesn't actually appear.
