Couldn't find crumbIssuer for Jenkins Build Per Branch

[sonnybsj]

I had the same issue as Issue #100 in the original entagen/jenkins-build-per-branch project, and I found that in my case, this error appeared when my feature branch had the ' & ' character in the branch name. I worked around the issue for now by renaming my branch.

(The original project is archived so I'm forking that project & documenting here for now because I can't leave a comment there... maybe I'll fix it someday if I keep using this Jenkins Build Per Branch project.)

Error message from the original project's issue #100 :

Trying to find crumb: https://ci.example.com/jenkins/crumbIssuer/api/json
Couldn't find crumbIssuer for jenkins. Just moving on it may not be needed.
