      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"
