What happened?
I'm using WebdriverIO with BrowserStack service and I have noticed that when I set build name through BROWSERSTACK_BUILD_NAME environment variable, then setting build identifier has no effect. Digging a little into the code I have found this condition in launcher.ts which effectively terminates processing of build identifier when BROWSERSTACK_BUILD_NAME is set.
What is your expected behavior?
No response
How to reproduce the bug.
Just set up BROWSERSTACK_BUILD_NAME variable and then run tests using browserstack-service. In BrowserStack dashboard you will see that following build are not numbered. All test sessions are appended to the one, already existing build.

Research direction
Inspect packages/wdio-browserstack-service/src/launcher.ts around lines 701-705, focusing on how BROWSERSTACK_BUILD_NAME affects buildIdentifier handling. Reproduce with the reported BrowserStack configuration and environment variable. Done means buildIdentifier is honored when BROWSERSTACK_BUILD_NAME is set, with test sessions appearing in separately numbered builds.
