Title: Message Title

Steffen Pankratz commented on JENKINS-37495   Re: Git Submodules having a name different to their path in working tree, failing to checkout I ran into the same problem. I had to downgrade to Git plugin 2.6.0 and Git client plugin 1.21.0. From .gitmodules [submodule "liflg_library-boost"] path = test/3rd-party-libraries/library-boost url = "" With Git plugin 2.6.0 and Git client plugin 1.21.0, it looks like this and works: Resetting working tree > git reset --hard # timeout=10 > git clean -fdx # timeout=10 > git submodule foreach --recursive git reset --hard # timeout=10 > git submodule foreach git clean -fdx # timeout=10 > git remote # timeout=10 > git submodule init # timeout=10 > git submodule sync # timeout=10 > git config --get remote.origin.url # timeout=10 > git submodule update With Git plugin 3.0.0 and Git client plugin 2.0.0, it looks like this and does not work: Resetting working tree > git reset --hard # timeout=10 > git clean -fdx # timeout=10 > git submodule foreach --recursive git reset --hard # timeout=10 > git submodule foreach git clean -fdx # timeout=10 > git remote # timeout=10 > git submodule init # timeout=10 > git submodule sync # timeout=10 > git config --get remote.origin.url # timeout=10 > git config --get-regexp ^submodule # timeout=10 > git config --get submodule.liflg_library-boost.url # timeout=10 > git submodule update liflg_library-boost FATAL: Command "git submodule update liflg_library-boost" returned status code 1: stdout: stderr: error: pathspec 'liflg_library-boost' did not match any file(s) known to git. As stated in the initial report, the problem seems to be it's using the name of the submodule instead of the path or just the general approach, like with the older versions of the Git/Git client plugins.
