Git – How to execute Jenkinsfile with gerrit trigger plugin for changeset in jenkins

gerritgerrit-triggergitJenkinsjenkins-pipeline

We use gerrit-trigger in Jenkins, the build is triggered when a new changeset is pushed for review.

Now we want to introduce pipeline and use solution Defining a pipeline in scm

Therefore we expect when the build is triggered, below pipeline plugin can work to checkout this refspec

But the ${GERRIT_REFSPEC} doesn't effect here, it checkouts the master still

 > git rev-parse refs/remotes/origin/master^{commit} # timeout=10
 > git rev-parse refs/remotes/origin/origin/master^{commit} # timeout=10
Checking out Revision adf5d360582b1b24f088cfa8ac0f0ebf64a57692 (refs/remotes/origin/master)
Commit message: "DO:CI End of summer"
 > git config core.sparsecheckout # timeout=10
 > git checkout -f adf5d360582b1b24f088cfa8ac0f0ebf64a57692

Any suggestion how it can work?

Best Answer

I think you need to set:

Repositories > Refspec               = $GERRIT_REFSPEC:$GERRIT_REFSPEC
Branches to build > Branch Specifier = $GERRIT_REFSPEC

Important: do not forget to uncheck the "Lightweight checkout" option.

R – How to exclude files/directories from the target directory using the maven war plugin

change your exclusion to

**/*.tmp

You could also leave off the WEB-INF from the directory and remove the targetDirectory altogether. For instance, here's one that would include all xml, xhtml, x*ml etc. and excludes all *.tmp in any directory

<webResources>
    <resource>
        <directory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</directory>
        <includes>
            <include>**/*.x*ml</include>
        </includes>
        <excludes>
            <exclude>**/*.tmp</exclude>
        </excludes>
    </resource>
</webResources>

Jenkins Git Branch not working with Environment Variables

So under full checkout , Change */${BRANCH} to */$BRANCH, this should read the environment variable.

Branch Specifier (blank for 'any') */$BRANCH

In Pipelines, make sure you aren't specifying a Lightweight Checkout. As of Jenkins 2.73, Lightweight Checkouts will not read the environment variable, but a full checkout will
