[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-26520) Environment Variables BUILD_ID and BUILD_NUMBER now return the same value

Jesse Glick commented on Bug JENKINS-26520

BUILD_ID is defined to be the ID of the build, and the ID is now a number rather than a timestamp, so the current behavior is correct. (There are some things in Jenkins which expect a build ID.) Adding a new BUILD_TIMESTAMP variable for the dedicated purpose of representing time is the only option.

I would actually suggest two such variables:

  • BUILD_TIMESTAMP_LEGACY, with the format of the old IDs and in the server’s local timezone.
  • BUILD_TIMESTAMP, in ISO 8601 format (how-to).

Note that since builds may now come in at a rate of more than one per second, BUILD_TIMESTAMP_LEGACY could easily be nonunique.
