Issue Summary

The Build Dashboard Current Activity widget (URL: <BAMBOO_BASE_URL/currentActivity.action) truncates the master plan name in branch build entries when the plan name contains a space-dash-space sequence (" - ").

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a plan whose master plan name contains a space-dash-space sequence (" - ").
   For example: "CI - Plan1"
   
2. Create a branch plan off the master plan
3. Trigger a build on the branch plan
4. Navigate to the Build Dashboard (Current Activity) - from the menu, access: "Build > Build activity" or access <BAMBOO_BASE_URL>/currentActivity.action
5. Check the entries in the dashboard.

Expected Results

The breadcrumb displays the full plan name.

Sample expected result: "Project 1 > CI - Plan 1 > branch_name"

Actual Results

The plan names for branch build entries are truncated after the first " - "

Sample actual result:

• The entry just shows "Project 1 > CI > branch_name".
• The "- Plan 1" part of the plan name is dropped.

Impact: If there are multiple plans that have the same prefix (e.g. "CI - Plan 1", "CI - Plan 2", "CI - Plan 3", etc), users will not be able to distinguish between them from the build dashboard entries.

Workarounds

Replace " - " in plan names

Replace the space-dash-space (" - ") in master plan names, (e.g. use a single "-" character).

Use a Byteman script

If " - " is still preferred to be used in master plan names, an alternative workaround is to use the following Byteman script:

# --- Set trace : boolean = true to see the logs in catalina.out

  fullName   : String  = $!;

  branchFlag : boolean = $0.isBranch();
  nbsp       : String  = Character.toString(160);
  sep        : String  = nbsp + "-" + nbsp;
  trace      : boolean = false
IF fullName != null && branchFlag && project != null && branch != null && fullName.length() >
project.length() + branch.length() + 6 && fullName.substring(project.length() + 3, fullName.length()
- branch.length() - 3).contains(" - ")
DO
  $! = "x - " + fullName.substring(project.length() + 3, fullName.length() - branch.length() -
3).replace(" - ", sep);
  trace = trace && traceln("[BYTEMAN] Fixed dashboard planName: " + $!)
ENDRULE
