Working with git-flow

[aram535]

Hi,

I'm trying to see if your plugin works with 'git flow'? I set a simple git/git-flow/gradle test with gradle 4.2, and versioning 2.6.1. It doesn't looks like it picks up the last tag?

$ cat build.gradle 
plugins {
        id "net.nemerosa.versioning" version "2.6.1"
}

version = versioning.info.display

println "full:    " + versioning.info.full
println "display: " + versioning.info.display
println "version: " + project.version

$ git tag --list
1.0.0
$ ./gradlew versionDisplay 

> Configure project :
full:    develop-7c76a87
display: develop-7c76a87
version: develop-7c76a87

> Task :versionDisplay
[version] scm        = git
[version] branch     = develop
[version] branchType = develop
[version] branchId   = develop
[version] commit     = 7c76a872f6356166698b5a7c38a95f6262e36791
[version] full       = develop-7c76a87
[version] base       = 
[version] build      = 7c76a87
[version] display    = develop-7c76a87
[version] tag        = 
[version] dirty      = false

Only release/ branches will have their version being computed according to the tags. Other branches, like master or feature/, do not use tags. You can change this behaviour by setting the releases configuration parameter. It is set by default to:

versioning {
    releases = ['release']
}

If it does make sense for you to compute versions from tags in a develop branch, you can use, for example:

versioning {
    releases = ['release', 'develop']
}

Thank you for that. I see how that works now. I shouldn't have assumed that the "last" tag in history would win.

[version] display    = develop-78310cc
[version] tag        = 1.1.1

If I stop at the "tag" commit then it does show it.

There are many options available to configure fully the behaviour.

The default behaviour just reflects the way I deal with versioning, where I do not want to tag in advance, only after the CD chain has succeeded, and only for release branches.

So, feel free to configure the versioning plugin as you see fir in your context :)

Is there anything else to do for this issue?

oh great. Is there any more documentation on how to take advantage of the different configuration options? All good on this issue.

All the documentation is available in the root page of this repository.
