In the big picture, I want to give my users a job where they specify both the source (fork) and destination (upstream) git repository, as well as the source and destination branch names, and I want jenkins to merge the source (repo, branch) into the destination (repo, branch), then build. The source repo is a fork of the upstream repo, necessarily.
The git-plugin clones and fetches everything without any problem, but it errors out in the end. I am puzzled. Here is the configuration: Repo URL: ${UPSTREAM_REPO} Name: upstream Refspec: +refs/heads/${UPSTREAM_BRANCH}:refs/remotes/upstream/${UPSTREAM_BRANCH} Repo URL: ${FORK_REPO} Name: fork Refspec: +refs/heads/${FORK_BRANCH}:refs/remotes/fork/${FORK_BRANCH} Additional behaviours: Wipe out repository and force clone Check out to specific local branch: ${UPSTREAM_BRANCH} Merge before build Name of repository: upstream Branch to merge to: ${UPSTREAM_BRANCH} The the user supplies the four parameters: UPSTREAM_REPO=ssh://g...@stash.domain.com/path/project.git UPSTREAM_BRANCH=master FORK_REPO=ssh://g...@stash.domain.com/~user/project.git FORK_BRANCH=master The the user hits build, and the git-plugin ends with an error: Seen branch in repository fork/master Seen branch in repository upstream/master Seen 2 remote branches ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job. Finished: Failure There are no errors before that in the log. The workspace contains the .git folder, with those branches not checked out - despite the fact that I asked for a specific local branch to be checked out: git branch -a remotes/fork/master remotes/upstream/master What causes the Git plugin to error out like that? What makes it decide that it should abort instead of proceeding with the build? I use Git 2.4.3, git-plugin 2.4.0, jenkins 1.609.1.
