Jenkins setup: - Sorry, because shamefully old version involved, out of my control to upgrade, but under control to maintain.
In the plugin Copy Artefact, there is a selector defined named “LastCompletedBuildSelector”, where the documentation (still) states “Latest Successful build”
The denomination and the description can be susceptible to interpretation what is “Latest Successful Build”. It has come to my attention that the actual result is to be interpreted as the most recently launched, and already successfully completed build.
I discovered this more concise description while accessing builds in a job where not all builds take equally long. Two builds were started consecutively, where the first one then “finished successfully” later than the second one.
The selector returned the second (latest started) build, rather than - what I interpreted - the the latest completed successfully.
Would it be worth - advisable - to update the documentation to that effect ? and if so where would I have to report this ?
