Hello, I'm trying to make jenkins trigger a build whenever a new tag is pushed to my git repo.
I already made it to trigger builds when a tag pointing to a new commit is pushed, by setting: *refspec:* +refs/tags/*:refs/remotes/origin/tags/* > *branch specifier:* ** The problem is that the builds are not triggered when i tag some commit that already has another tag, even if its an annotated tag. The use case is as follows: 1)We need devs to be able to deploy our webapp by tagging releases on github (mostly in other branches than master), like tag: v1.0.0 (the previous tag was v0.9.9). 2)We need to be able to rollback deploys, by tagging again previous releases (rollbacks will be always tagging commits on master), like tag: v0.9.9-rollback [ponting to the same commit as v0.9.9). 3)We also need to follow some process that would allow fresh servers to retrieve the same deployed release as the other servers (dealing with autoscalling/dynamic inventory) The 3rd item is easily solvable by configuring capistrano to self-deploy the last tag (sorting tags by taggerdate) on server startup (so new machines will fetch rollbacks too). The 1st item is already good, as jenkins always trigger a build when a tag ponting to a new commit is pushed. My problem is with rollbacks (2nd item), jenkins will receive the git hook, poll the repository but won't trigger the build, it detects the new tag but it acts as it already built that. I've searched online and from what i read, i think the git plugin is checking the hash the tag points to, not the hash from the tag itself, thus it doesn't detect a change. Can somebody confirm if i'm right, or if the problem is is another plugin? Any help is highly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
