[JENKINS-38565] Build history lost after renaming project

[timja]

I have a build project that will rename itself based on the Mercurial branch it was built from using the plugin build-name-setter and a macro (${PROJECT_DISPLAY_NAME} ${TE_Branch_Name}) where TE_Branch_Name contains my mercurial branch set as a parameter.

I usually end up building from our default branch, but this morning I had to build from another branch and although the branch rename resulted in the history updating during the build, once the build had completed the history was wiped and only the most recent (renamed) build was shown.

I had originally only noticed the history missing in the sidebar of the project page, but all builds from that project are missing from the main 'build history of Jenkins' page also. The child task that the project kicks off still exist in the history as are all other builds kicked off via other projects.

Manage Jenkins page reports:
You have data stored in an older format and/or unreadable data.
(note: this is after upgrading to latest version 1.651.3)

In my logs I have a lot of the following stack trace appearing:
(note: that the number and length of these traces mean that I can't go far enough back to see the time I ran the build that lost the build history)

mallwood1:

Note: My script always renames the build using that plugin, the only difference is that this time it was renamed to something different to the previous builds that were in the build history

[timja]

mallwood1:

Another thought on this - the build was being renamed to 'TE6.24' - it may be having issues with the period in the name, although subsequent builds of TE6.24 haven't wiped the history

[timja]

danielbeck:

Your report is contradictory – first, you write that the project renames itself, then you write that the build names are set. Which is it?

[timja]

mallwood1:

Apologies, it's the build name

[timja]

danielbeck:

Interesting. Not sure what's going on with the OldDataMonitor, but it looks like it is dealing with a plugin or Jenkins release with a version that does not start with a digit. Could you provide a list of all installed plugins and versions?

Regarding the missing builds, would be interesting to see whether any of them still exist on disk, and if they do, what their build.xml contents are.
