  1. POHudson: how do i use a parameterized build to do svn checkout and svn tag?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm setting up a parameterized build in hudson v1.362. the parameter i'm creting is used to determine which branch to checkout in subversion. </p> <p>I can set my svn repository url like this: <code><a href="https://my.svn.server/branches/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://my.svn.server/branches/</a>${branch}</code> and it does the checkout and the build just fine.</p> <p>now I want to tag the build after it finishes. i'm using the SVN tagging plugin for hudson to do this. so i go to the bottom of the project config screen for the hudson project and turn on "Perform Subversion tagging on successful build".</p> <p>here, i set my Tag Base URL to <code><a href="https://my.svn.server/tags/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://my.svn.server/tags/</a>${branch}-${BUILD_NUMBER}</code> and it gives me errors about those properties not being found. so i change them to environment variable usages like this: <code><a href="https://my.svn.server/tags/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://my.svn.server/tags/</a>${env['branch']}-${env['BUILD_NUMBER']}</code> and the svn tagging plugin is happy.</p> <p>the problem now is that my svn repository at the top is using the <code>${branch}</code> syntax and the svn tagging plugin barfs on this: </p> <pre><code>moduleLocation: Remote ->https://my.svn.server/branches/$branch/ Tag Base URL: 'https://my.svn.server/tags/thebranchiused-1234'. There was no old tag at https://my.svn.server/tags/thebranchiused-1234.
