[JENKINS-20022] setting build.UNSTABLE only shows in Dashboard after restart of Jenkins in some cases

[TobiX]

Found an issue (reproducible) with "Build status" and the Dashboard.

In the post-build actions ... I issue build.setResult(Result.UNSTABLE);

• The console (job) log shows the build as Finished: UNSTABLE (as expected)

• When I go to the Dashboard, everything looks fine (all blue). (no problems).

• Browser refresh does not change the status

• Waiting a few minutes and refreshing does not change the status.

This is where it gets strange...

If I restart Jenkins by either rebooting during a new plugin upload OR a jenkins restart using /etc/init.d/jenkins restart, when the server comes back the status as UNSTABLE as expected.

Please feel free to reclassify or cancel if this was reproduced as a defect in error.
