What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Both Ubuntu Server 18.04
GitLab-side not known.

Reproduction steps

1. Have a Multibranch Pipeline Job with a GitLab Branch Source configured with Discover Branches behavior added and set to Only branches that are not also filed as MRs.
2. Create a branch
3. Let Jenkins find branch
4. Push changes to this branch
5. Immediately create PR while build is not yet finished

Expected Results

1. Branch pipeline get marked as disabled due to being obsolete [OK]
2. Running branch pipeline gets aborted [OK]
3. MR pipeline gets created [OK]
4. GitLab gets notified of MR pipeline status once finished [OK]
5. GitLab gets notified of branch pipeline status after being aborted [FAILED]

Actual Results

GitLab does not seem to get notified of aborted pipeline.

Anything else?

This is how the MR pipeline status looks on the GitLab side:

https://gitlab.company.tld/group/project/-/pipelines/3010

This is from the end of the console log of the MR pipeline build in Jenkins:

[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
[GitLab Pipeline Status] Notifying merge request build status: SUCCESS BRANCH/MR-44 #2: This commit looks good.
[GitLab Pipeline Status] Notified
Finished: SUCCESS

https://jenkins.company.tld/job/PROJECT/job/MR-44/2/console

This is from the end of the console log of the branch pipeline build in Jenkins:

[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.actions.ErrorAction$ErrorId: 93872e80-3c67-4ee0-9818-8d2462687a8f
Finished: ABORTED

Are you interested in contributing a fix?

Unfortunately no, since I'm not a Java developer. Haven't touched Java in almost 20 years.

But I'm willing to install & check an unstable build of this plugin on our setup to verfiy a potential fix.

This issue is known and quite similar to #259, but a little bit easier.

Now (Aug 2023) that https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/344666 was solved on the GitLab side, probably the gitlab-branch-source-plugin should save the pipeline_id returned the first time a status is created and should use the same pipeline_id when updating the status.
