remote-file-plugin: enable selecting a fallback branch

XMLWordPrintable

    • 1.7

      The plugin is missing a very helpful ability - when working in Match Branches mode we have a problem with developers feature branches which are short lived and have unique names and thus can currently only be matched with the fallback branch - master.

      The requested enhancement would be to supply the ability to configure the fallback branch (e.g. in that case one can use a development branch), while having a default of the master branch.

      I think this small addition would benefit all those practicing a full cycle CI/CD process.

      I hope you will find this worth adding (we for sure will use it ASAP).

          Hi,

          Thanks for the suggestion. I think this make sense, master may not be the fallback branch always.
          So, I think a text field for defining fallback branch will be enough, right ?

          Hi,

          Yes, I think a text field would be great (you can maybe also indicate in the description, that in case the desired branch doesn't exist, the mater branch would be used instead (same as today)).

          Thanks for going forward with this suggestion, I believe it would be very handy and make the plugin more robust.

          Great!

          Sadly, our lab is down for the last week and a half, once it will be up and running, I'll give this a test run and report back to you.
