1356955 - Expose the taskcluster job name as an environment variable

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Taskcluster :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

See the large comment in bug 1356529. Long story short, I want to use a script in most build jobs that will do things based on information about the job in the taskcluster configuration, and for that, obviously, the job name is necessary.

AFAICT, it's currently not exposed, so let's do that.

"job name" and "label" are two different words.  Let's not invent a new name for something that already has a name.

Whoops, clicked "publish" instead of "Edit Review"

I don't think this is necessary in light of my comments on bug 1356529, but I'm not opposed to it in general -- as long as the environment variable calls a label a LABEL.  How about MOZ_TASK_LABEL?

cf. the discussion around bug 1356529, we're not going to need this.
