    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Minor
    • Component/s: core, pipeline
    • Environment:

      Expected Behavior:

      When you hover your mouse over an item in the queue, you expect to see the build cause description appear (e.g. "Started by SCM change" or "commit notification xyz" or "started by user").

      Observed Behavior:

      When a queued item has been scheduled by a pipeline, only its node label will appear when you hover over it. The cause description for that item will not.

      This makes it difficult to track down an item in the queue that corresponds to a specific commit or user.

       

      Using the script console, I queried this item in the queue, and saw that it had a cause description saying "commit notification xyz..." - however, that notification does not appear here in the Jenkins queue UI when you mouse over the item.

       

      This item was created by using a simple Jenkins Pipeline job that has one node and some empty stages. What you see in the queue image above is the pipeline waiting for one of the specified executors to become available.

      This problem also appears when you create several nodes in parallel using the parallel() directive.
