add gitlab project avatar & display name. add gitlab group description

[jetersen]

No description provided.

So for project the display name is only available on mouse over?
Is this a bug in the SCM api or branch API? cc @stephenc

[jetersen]

I wonder if SCMSourceBuilder's project name is the one being used?

[stephenc]

The branch name is what people recognise, so it is the name displayed. The Description is on hover and is set from the description metadata action

[jetersen]

@stephenc this is the repository list, that is misbehaving 😅

[stephenc]

Behaviour is the same... repository name is like branch name

[jetersen]

I guess is the best we are gonna get with GitLab.
@baymac Unless you want to change strategy from using the project path to remove the group name but still store it on the SCM source.

Like here
https://ci.jenkins.io/job/Plugins/

Though you can have subgroups with conflicting project names but then I would argue for using the following:
Omit group/user name on a SCM source then use Project Name or Sub group name / Project name

This is the code in question

gitlab-branch-source-plugin/src/main/java/io/jenkins/plugins/gitlabbranchsource/GitLabSCMSourceBuilder.java

Line 24 in 224bdba

super(GitLabSCMSource.class, projectPath);

It calls super and the second attribute is what is used for repository list.

@Casz I have also been testing, I am not sure if it is SCMNavigatorRequest or SCMSourceBuilder which is setting the display name of each project with the pathWithNamespace. Although I am fine with the current state, main part which is description of group and single project both works.

[jetersen]

I'll do a separate PR for the display name as we most likely will have to add migration path for anyone currently using the plugin :)

[jetersen]

For anyone in the future.

Naming on SCM API happens on request.process
