Any update on this?

This sounds suspiciously like a dup of JENKINS-11798 - which you have created, too ...

Another question is, why do you expect the Maven plugin to work correctly, if the subversion plugin is already not able to resolve the $Branch parameter?

@kutzi Subversion plugin has resolved it correctly. The only this is exeption which is given by Maven plugin. It tries to execute mvn command from directory with includes $Branch variable. But it does not resolves variable before execution. That is the reason.

@kutzi I have closed JENKINS-11798 ticket cause it is not actual (Subversion plugin is not the root of the issue). This ticket actually is not duplicate but provides deeper investigation of the same issue

Okay, thanks for the added info and sorry for closing this prematurely.
I can look at it, but cannot make any promises on the time frame.

Any update on this?

The same happens to Ant:
08:03:03 FATAL: Unable to find build script at /*******/*/Jenkins/workspace/******/$Branch/*****/Install/ant/build.xml
@kutzi: please advice!

Seemingly, variable resolution was neither implemented in the 'local module' part of subversion-plugin nor in ant build steps.

BTW: where did you define the variable?

PS: I don't consider this being a bug, but rather a missing feature

Hi, Ive implemented it in job parameters (checked both String and Choise). Also tried Global parameter - issue the same. It is quite critical for us because we need to support different branches at the same time and the only solution for us now is to copy all projects and predefine all variables.

I think that issue is in maven and ant plugins which should resolve variables.
And the issues is still present on 1.447 Jenkins release

Erm, sorry. Yes I meant to write "maven and ant", but did mistakenly write "subversion"

Could this issue fixed soon? I do not think that this is to complicated issue...

Shouldn't be too complicated, but as I've said I cannot promise on any timeframe.

Did you ask on the users list - maybe someone had a similar requirement and knows of a workaround?

Unfortunately I don't know what users list is... But I do not think that there is some workaround on this issue.

@kutzi - I dont thing there is workaround for this issue. Maybe you can advice where to look so our developers may try to fix this?

Hi Oleksandr,

Don't know why you actually need the branch name in the local module path. Since you are only working with one branch at a time, you can use a fixed name for your local path or no path at all. This of course means that you should use the "always check out fresh copy", but I use that approach anyway. It gives me a better feeling about using the right version of code.

@peter_schuetze:
Hi Peter,
The thing is that I wanted to use single job for building from different branches (according our SCM approach we have a lot of trunks and release brunches). Therefore I'd liked to use a parameter in "Local module directory" section. Our branched weight a lot sometime it takes up to 5 minutes to do checkout.
And after all I suppose that this is bug. I believe that the root of the issue is compatibility between those (Maven, Ant, Parametrized) plugins.

@kutzi - Any updates or estimates?

This is arguably no 'Blocker' issue. Blocker is if you can't use something at all - for this issue there are some obvious workarounds.

Looks like this can be fixed quite easily by overriding the newer getModuleRoot(s) methods .

Could you please try the attached updated subversion plugin if it fixes your issue?

Yes! Looks like that fixes the issue...

Still need to write some unit tests and ask other devs if it's okay to do a release now.
Hope to have it this weekend or beginning of next week.

Great news! Hope so
