git-plugin does not discover tags

      We want to build tags automatically when they appear in the repository.

      We use GitHub, however github branch source plugin does not support such functionality yet (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-34395)

      The workaround is to use Multibranch Pipeline and poll the repository every X minutes.

      In the Multibranch Pipeline configuration set:

      Project Repository: <GIT_URL>

      Credentials: <credentials>

      Behaviours:

        Specify ref specs: +refs/tags/:refs/remotes/origin/tags/

       

      In this case no tags are built, the scan log contains following info:

      If we add another configuration parameter to the Multibranch Pipeline: discover branches, the scan log contains:

      There is no option "Discover Tags"
