XMLWordPrintable

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Icon: Minor Minor
    • git-plugin
    • Jenkins ver. 2.46.3
      Pipeline ver. 2.5
      Git plugin ver. 3.5.1
    • git plugin 4.0.0

      How to reproduce: In snippet generator choose 'checkout: general SCM', in SCM choose Git, put 'gitlab' in 'repository browser' and a number in a 'Version' field.

      If string is put in 'Version' the error is printed: Can't convert ''8.0'' to a number: For input string: "'8.0'"

      If number is put in 'Version', e.g. 8.0, the following error occurs during pipeline execution:
      java.lang.ClassCastException: hudson.plugins.git.browser.GitLab.version expects class java.lang.String but received class java.math.BigDecimal

          Definitely not a gitlab-plugin bug, this is to do with snippets for cloning a repo. I am guessing that git-plugin is what provides the code for the snippet generator to use, but I am not positive; markwaite please reassign as you see fit if I've gotten this wrong.

          nimrod FWIW, I do not think you really need to use the GitLab repository browser function. At least, I have never used that in 5 years of using Jenkins with GitLab. I just treat GitLab like a standard Git repo.

          owenmehegan, if the options is there, it should be working properly - and my team uses this functionality.

          I didn't say it shouldn't work. You've definitely found a bug. I just don't know what you get from setting the repository browser option, and I seem to have survived without it.
