How to get only the Full name of previous Jenkins build

Question

I would like to send the full name of the previous build that was received by using the following:

Run previousBuild = steps.currentBuild.rawBuild.getPreviousBuildInProgress()

in order to send to getItemByFullName as you can see below,

Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName(previousBuildPath)

I tried to find it in the Run class hudson Documentation with no success.

while printing previousBuild I got the name with the build number like:

 previousBuild- > project_neme/build_name #100

But I want to get only the name with no String substring cutting.

You are looking for display name property. Display name is the name given to each build (if you update it during execution) followed by a build number. The display name will only return the build name. Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName('JobName').getLastBuild().displayName
