[JIRA] [git] (JENKINS-22319) Updating Git plugin causes existing builds to immediately fail

Mark Waite commented on Bug JENKINS-22319

I think I can duplicate the failure you're seeing, but I think it is expected behavior rather than a bug. However, based on what I'm observing, I can't see how the job ever worked. I suspect that means I don't understand. Hopefully you can help me better understand.

The job definition seems to declare that "Branches to build" is refs/heads/jenkins, but when I clone that repository using the refspec in the job definition, there is no refs/heads/jenkins . I cloned the repository with the command

git clone --reference /var/lib/git/mwaite/skrooge.git/ git://anongit.kde.org/skrooge.git



I also created a Jenkins job which cloned that same repository and confirmed that there was no .git/refs/heads/jenkins in the cloned repository in Jenkins either.  Since there is not a branch named jenkins on the remote repository, I thought it was reasonable that the clone did not create a branch named jenkins on the local repository.



Since you said that you're using a branch which will only exist locally on the build slave, I assumed you intended to add the additional behaviour "Check out to specific local branch" and that the name of that local branch would be "jenkins".  I don't see that local branch in the job definition.



If I define my test job "Branches to build" as "master" or "origin/master" or "*/master" and add the "Check out to specific local branch" and have it execute a single shell build step "git branch", it runs successfully and reports that the current branch is "jenkins".



If I define my test job "Branches to build" as "refs/heads/jenkins" it fails to checkout a revision because it cannot resolve refs/heads/jenkins as a git version.



Can you clarify where I've misunderstood?
