The env var JOB_NAME, and its description in env-vars.html are confusing.
In a simple project, the meaning and the description correspond, but in a matrix project, it is more complicated.
If the main job's name is Foo, using a matrix with 2 parameters bar and baz, then JOB_NAME returns "Foo/bar=x,baz=y". This was the request JENKINS-1047.
Is it possible to add another env var, like JOB_SHORT_NAME, or to be more coherent, use JOB_NAME to get the real name and JOB_IDENTIFIER for example to get the full description?
Thanks
I'd love this feature as well please. I posted a similar issue a while back but it's even even been assigned yet never mind fixed - https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-9905
