I would have thought that through the use of the Cygpath plugin my Windows system I would be able to use the Cygwin installed git.
I know that the git executable is installed: [Ryan@Windows /cygdrive/c/Projects] $ cygpath -C ANSI -w `which git` C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\git I have provided the Tool Location for the Windows node: /user/local/bin/git This provides an error. I have the full error if it is relavant. But I think these two errors say everything necessary. Error trying to determine the git version: Error performing command: /user/local/bin/git --version ... Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/user/local/bin/git": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified So I said to heck with Cygpath; I will just provide the full executable from Windows (e.g., C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\git) in the Tool Location for the Windows node. Which led to this error Error trying to determine the git version: Command "C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\git --version" returned status code -1073741515: ... Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\git clone -o origin g...@our-git-repo.com:testing.git C:\jenkins\workspace\Git Clone\label\Windows" returned status code -1073741515: These errors have to do with the Cygwin environment not being loaded. I am not sure what to do about that. Suggestions?
