Duplicate PHP version in PHPUnit job names on GitHub Actions

[SergeyBiryukov]

1. Go to ​Commits page.
2. Click on any of the GitHub Actions result icons (a green check mark or a red cross mark).
3. Note the duplicate PHP version in the job names, e.g.:

   PHPUnit Tests / PHP 7.0 / PHP 7.0 / MariaDB 10.11
   PHPUnit Tests / PHP 7.0 / PHP 7.0 / MariaDB 10.11 multisite
   PHPUnit Tests / PHP 7.0 / PHP 7.0 / MariaDB 10.4
   PHPUnit Tests / PHP 7.0 / PHP 7.0 / MariaDB 10.4 multisite
   PHPUnit Tests / PHP 7.0 / PHP 7.0 / MariaDB 10.6
   PHPUnit Tests / PHP 7.0 / PHP 7.0 / MariaDB 10.6 multisite
   ...
   

The same is displayed in GitHub Actions checks on individual PRs.

Appears to be related to [56439].

This is an annoying inconsistency with how GitHub Actions handles callable workflows.

When looking at a single workflow view, the only way to get the jobs to combine into a collapsible group is if the start of the name of the job within the called workflow matches the end of the job name in the calling one.

It displays nicely on the individual workflow view, but not so much in the PR or commit views.

I've passed this along to GitHub, but haven't heard back yet. We could experiment a bit more to try and find a way around this, but I couldn't find a way. @johnbillion has also toyed around with this a bit, and ​arrived at the same approach.

Replying to desrosj:

Ah, thanks for that context! The current patch won't work as expected then :)

It would fix the issue on the PR and commit screens, but then on the individual workflow pages, there would just be one massive list of jobs.

I think we will leave this to yall who are conversant with these committer-type things.
