Using git plugin 1.1.17.
If you accidentally leave in whitespace in the "Tag to push" field, git will create a tag with the whitespace replaced by an "". E.g. if you configure a tag like "build-${BUILD_NUMBER} " (note the whitespace at the end of the field), the created tag will then be "build-121" or the like.
The tag will be created locally but pushing the tag will fail because it will try to push the tag without the "_", and this tag will not exist.
Pushing tag build-121 to repo origin ERROR: Failed to push tag build-121 to origin hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git push git-company@server.company.com:/srv/company.git build-121 " returned status code 128: stdout: stderr: fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in build-121 at hudson.plugins.git.GitAPI.launchCommandIn(GitAPI.java:779) at hudson.plugins.git.GitAPI.launchCommand(GitAPI.java:741) at hudson.plugins.git.GitAPI.push(GitAPI.java:797) at hudson.plugins.git.GitPublisher$3.invoke(GitPublisher.java:277) at hudson.plugins.git.GitPublisher$3.invoke(GitPublisher.java:247) at hudson.FilePath.act(FilePath.java:832) at hudson.FilePath.act(FilePath.java:814) at hudson.plugins.git.GitPublisher.perform(GitPublisher.java:247) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepMonitor$3.perform(BuildStepMonitor.java:36) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractRunner.perform(AbstractBuild.java:705) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractRunner.performAllBuildSteps(AbstractBuild.java:680) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractRunner.performAllBuildSteps(AbstractBuild.java:658) at hudson.model.Build$RunnerImpl.post2(Build.java:162) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractRunner.post(AbstractBuild.java:627) at hudson.model.Run.run(Run.java:1446) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:46) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:88) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:238) Build step 'Git Publisher' changed build result to FAILURE
This error kind of pointed me in the wrong direction and it took some time to figure this out, it would be really great if the field could be trimmed, hopefully it will save some people some time if they have this same problem. Alternatively, you could give an error when leaving whitespace in the "Tag to push" field.
