I'm using Hudson to clone a Git repository and build it. I'm getting the following error:
FATAL: Could not apply tag jenkins-mus-tomcat-2-2
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Could not apply tag jenkins-mus-tomcat-2-2
It's strange because I don't want Hudson to make any commits. It should only pull and compile.
What's the problem and how can I fix it?
Check "Skip internal tag" config under "Advanced..." in section "Source code management".
It will skip the tagging.
Note: the Hudson bug 3874 mentions:
tagging fails if there's no
~/.gitconfig, and you get the following error:
workspace] $ git tag -a -f -m "Hudson Build #34" hudson-JAMCircle-34
FATAL: Could not apply tag hudson-JAMCircle-34
Make sure you have a HOME defined for the user running the Hudson process, and make sure there is a .gitconfig, with at least user.name defined in it (See this blog post for instance).
If needed, configure those variables within Hudson itself through GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL environment variables (Cf this example).
That being said, considering the issue HUDSON-5676 , you should have an option "Tag every build automatically" that you can change to unchecked, in order to avoid the tag entirely.
