The workspace might no longer contain the correct revision at the time the promotion runs.
Also, the BUILD_NUMBER might not be available as a variable. I really don't know. I'm doing the same and the only way I got it working was to trigger another job. This job uses copy artifacts plugin to get a file that contains the git revision of the build that passes. It can get it from last promoted build. This job then checks out the required version and allows git plugin to publish the tag. It works, it just needs this one extra job to do it. -- Sami Maarten <[email protected]> kirjoitti 6.2.2012 kello 18.12: > Hi jenkinytes, > I've been struggling with pushing a build a git tag when a build is > promoted.
