Failure in Jenkins PR job due to Gitversion (System.InvalidOperationException)

[warlock2k]

Related to #543

@arturcic Kindly help. My feature branch job passes however the pull request job fails with this error. The older Gitversion (4.0.0) on the other hand works in both cases. Could you kindly tell me if there are any breaking changes since 4.0.0 - 5.2.4?

My Jenkins job fails with the following error

[asbjornu]

Have you tried to manually normalize the Git repository before running GitVersion? Please see #2194 for GitVersion's requirements to work properly.

[warlock2k]

@asbjornu here are my results

What worked for me is manually running the following commands before calling Gitversion in my pipeline

execute(script: 'git branch develop origin/develop', returnStdout: true, this).trim()
execute(script: 'git branch master origin/master', returnStdout: true, this).trim()

However, this is more of a workaround.

Regardin #2194:

1. An unshallow clone - (I have unchecked shallow clone on Jenkins).
2. An existing local master branch. (Is there a way I can do this on Jenkins instead of running the command?)
3. Possibly an existing local develop branch (for GitFlow).
4. A named, existing and checked out branch pointing to the commit being built (i.e. no detached HEAD).(There exists a local branch)
5. Git_Branch as an available environment variable. (Available)

[asbjornu]

So what you are saying is that ensuring point 2 and 3 made it work, @warlock2k?

Actually the BranchConfigurationCalculator class has not been survived on main. Please try your scenario with the 6.0.0-beta.1 preview release version and re-open this ticket if the problem persists. Thank you very much!
