New problem - the 2.x jobs need to know to trigger other 2.x jobs, not the CRW_VERSION-versioned jobs (2.8):

currentBuild.result = null
[Pipeline] echo
CRW_VERSION = '2.8'
[Pipeline] build
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
ERROR: No item named get-sources-rhpkg-container-build_2.8 found

– https://main-jenkins-csb-crwqe.apps.ocp4.prod.psi.redhat.com/job/CRW_CI/job/crw-server_2.x/4/console

perhaps we need a method to compute the JOB_BRANCH if not set (2.y => 2.y; 2 or 2.x => 2.x) so we can use that instead of CRW_VERSION when triggering downstream jobs?

• https://github.com/redhat-developer/codeready-workspaces/pull/449
   
  Need to also change these things:

• JOB_BRANCH is always a 2.n value, eg., 2.7, 2.8, 2.x, never just "2"

* MIDSTM_BRANCH = "crw-" + JOB_BRANCH.replaceAll(".x","") + "-rhel-8" (never with 2.x)

• rename all _2.jenkinsfiles to _2.x.jenkinsfiles so that all refs to the /job/ or the .jenkinsfiles match the same value

• replace all references to job: 'get-sources-rhpkg-container-build_' + CRW_VERSION with job: 'get-sources-rhpkg-container-build_' + JOB_BRANCH
