在Jenkins / Git中设置远程跟踪

Question

With Jenkins, I'm checking out a project that later it builds using SBT. But when it tries to execute the sbt-release plugin, it complains:

No tracking branch is set up. Either configure a remote tracking branch, or remove the pushChanges release part

This is my Jenkins GIT plugin configuration:

• Repository URL: points to .git file
• Name: blank
• Refspec: blank
• Branches to build/Branch Specifier (blank for default): develop (the branch I'm building)
• Checkout/merge to local branch (optional): develop

I set those items following the guide that answers this question .

I think the SBT-release plugin needs the remote tracking in order make a tag on the branch.

Answer 1

Assuming you want to build from master.

In Jenkins in GIT section select:

Branches to build:     master

also add:

Additional Behaviours: 
      Check out to specific local branch:      master

Build step

Execute Shell:

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master

And then add your SBT build step

sbt "release with-defaults"

Answer 2

To solve it I have no choice but to build a command line script:

git checkout develop || git checkout -b develop
git reset --hard origin/develop
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/develop develop
git pull

and execute it before the SBT build.

Answer 3

the .git/config file needs the following three lines in it:

[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master

both the other answers add those, but you can just add them manually

Answer 4

In my case, remote was missing. In order to solve this problem I've used the following command lines before calling Build using sbt.

git remote add origin git@foo/bar.git || git remote -v
git checkout master
git reset --hard origin/master
