Hi everyone,
I am starting with the git-path plugin and I am having trouble
understanding how it should be configured to ensure the files end up where
I expect them when the agent fetches them.
I am working with a pipeline that uses the following materials (whittled
down to what I understand to be the relevant bits):
materials:
App.Trunk:
plugin_configuration:
id: "git-path"
options:
url: https://dev.azure.com/Org/Project/_git/App
path: Trunk
destination: source/Project/App/Trunk
App.Documents.Spec:
plugin_configuration:
id: "git-path"
options:
url: https://dev.azure.com/Org/Project/_git/App
path: Documents/Spec
destination: source/Project/App/Documents/Spec
The intention was that the contents of App$/Trunk should be placed in
source/Project/App/Trunk and the contents of App$/Documents/Spec should be
placed in source/Project/App/Documents/Spec. Instead, the plugin seems to
be fetching the entire repo into each of the destinations. Is this the
expected behaviour?
If so, are there any guidelines for how to deal with multiple git-path
materials that need to poll different paths in a single repo, while
ensuring that the relative paths remain intact on the agent at job run time?
Things that I need to consider:
- App.Trunk and App.Documents.Spec are likely to be reused across
various pipelines, though not necessarily always together.
- We probably do not want to configure a custom git-path material for
every existing combination of paths.
- There is a significant amount of cross-repository code, so relative
paths both inside and across repositories can be relevant. (I.E., for any
given file, the right version of that file needs to be downloaded to
"./Project/Repo/path/to/file".)
I'm thinking I will need to pull the git-path materials into a separate
location, then copy the relevant files to the expected location in the
first (few) task(s) of the job. (E.G., fetch them into
./git-path/<materialName>, then copy "./git-path/App.Trunk/Trunk" to
"./source/Project/App/Trunk" ) This feels incredibly hacky, though. Are
there any cleaner options?
Any feedback or advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
Jason Smyth
