I do believe I placed this in the right component, but it might be one for the scm plugin.
I have tried to use git reference as I have used it in Jenkins jobs previously. It is in the API that it is supported but it still fetches from the external git server.
node {
// Mark the code checkout 'stage'....
stage 'Checkout'
// Get some code from a GitHub repository
git url: 'ssh://git@server/project.git', reference: '/tmp/git.reference', branch: 'develop', credentialsId: '000000001-0001-001-abc1-000000000000001'
}
I have now also tried:
checkout scm: [$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/develop']], userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'ssh://git@server/project.git', reference: '/tmp/git.reference']]], credentialsId: '000000001-0001-001-abc1-000000000000001'
And the generated script from the snippet generator:
checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/develop']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [[$class: 'CloneOption', noTags: false, reference: '/tmp/git.reference', shallow: false]], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: '000000001-0001-001-abc1-000000000000001', url: 'ssh://git@server/project.git']]])
This to me seems valid, however it will pull straight from the remote server and never pass the /tmp/git.reference, which I have used both for cloning manually on the server and for cloning using Jenkins default GUI for configuring builds. In Jenkins I used Advanced Cloning Behaviour, which I would assume this is trying to replicate.
I should note: This reference folder only exists on slaves, not on the master.
I could be using the API incorrectly
Thanks for the support.
