Timestamper plugin causes Mercurial update to fail?

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      I'm seeing an odd issue with the Timestamper and the Mercurial plugins. The final steps of the Mercurial update fail like so:

      [test-framework] $ hg log --rev . --template {node}
ERROR: Expected to get an id but got  instead.

      The hg log command works like that from the command line. It also worked before installing the Timestamper plugin. And, indeed, after disabling the Timestamper plugin, things start working again:

      [test-framework] $ hg log --rev . --template {node}
[test-framework] $ /bin/sh -xe /var/tmp/hudson46154.sh
(etc.)

      Not sure how exactly the Timestamper plugins injects the timestamp into the log. But it seems to interfere with the output that the Mercurial plugin expects.

            Timestamper currently inserts timestamps into the output of any process started by the build's Launcher. The Mercurial plugin reads back this output and doesn't expect to see timestamps.

            I plan to implement a more robust approach soon, but it requires a change to Hudson core first.

            In the meantime, timestamping will be turned off during the SCM checkout.

            I'm still getting the same error with the Timestamper plugin 1.1. But I guess we'll simply wait for the solution in JENKINS-7112 ...
