Hello, I have a really simple task - I need to configure jenkins job to build a code only when a new tags with specific names (for e.g. qa_1234567) are pushed to the git (github). I can't use webhooks because I don't have sufficient permissions to repository. So I have to use SCM polling model. I have configured freestyle job and specify the following info
Refspec +refs/tags/*:refs/remotes/origin/tags/* Branch Specifier (blank for 'any') :.*/qa_[0-9]{6,10}$ All works fine except one thing. If I create a new tag and point it to any commit except head - it doesn't work. The job is not triggered. For e.g. # git rev-parse HEAD 75c42ce06cbbff83e1640e4b7b28543ca6793167 # git tag qa_$(date '+%s') 863c7607 && git push -u origin --tags Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) To ssh://g...@193.243.xxx.xxx:2222/test/p1.git * [new tag] qa_1472930540 -> qa_1472930540 I can see the new tag in SCP Polling log Seen branch in repository origin/tags/qa_1472930009 Seen branch in repository origin/tags/qa_1472930540 Seen 41 remote branches Done. Took 0.37 sec No changes With head revision all works fine $ UT=$(date '+%s'); echo ${UT} > 1 && git add . && git commit -m "${UT}" && git push -u origin api [api 8f80708] 1472931220 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Counting objects: 3, done.

I have read a lot of articles about the subject http://erics-notes.blogspot.com/2013/05/jenkins-build-latest-git-tag.html http://www.cyber-tec.org/2015/09/20/build-last-git-tag-with-jenkins/ but can't find any suitable solution Thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
