Hi Support-Team,
I had some problems with detecting tags from a Git-repository. What I wanted to have is that my configureation should trigger a new build when it detects a new tag on my git repo based on the tagged commit.
For this i created following configuration:
Git-Repository
- Branches: Branches to monitor: All branches
- Tags: Tag Changes: Detect
Trigger on my configuration
- Trigger: Type: Repository
- Repository: Quiet Period: 0
- Trigger Branch: Trigger on: All branches
- Trigger Branch: Skip commits previously build by this trigger: off
- Tags: Trigger: Tag changes for matching pattern
- Tags: Tag Pattern: ‘^(\d+).(\d+).(\d+)(\w\*)$$’ (I want only tags like ‘1.3.22’ or 1.2.3hf1’)
- Tags: Trigger on new tags: on
- Tags: build tagged changeset: on
- Tags: Only trigger on tag changes: on
Now I pushed some tags to my repo but in many cases the tag was not recognized (in some cases i got a new commit-changeset with message ‘Inserted ligthweight tag ‘…’’ - i tried also on my repo the setting Tags: Tag changes: Detect and list as new changeset) and in most cases the build did not worked on the tagged changeset but on my master (the tags i created were on other commits).

Hi Albrecht,
Thank you for reporting this. The tag detection was broken when making changes to deal with duplicates in the previous version. Please download [version 1.8.1.689](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/continuaci/continuaci-version-history-v1.8.1) and let us know whether this fixes your issue. Note that “Tag changes” need to be set to “Detect and list as new changeset” to trigger builds from a tag.

Hi Dave,
I checkt your new version and now the tags are detected correct and the builds are triggered.
The problem that I have now is that when I’m building triggered by a new tag $Source.Repo.Tag$ and $Source.Repo.BuildChangesset.Tagnames$ are not evaluated. Logging this expressions returns a empty result.

Hi Albrecht,
Thanks again for your report. We have now made some changes so that the $Source.Repo.BuiltChangeset$ has details of the correct changeset when built from a tag change trigger.
Note that $Source.Repo.Tag$ should only contain a tag name if the build is started for a tag e.g. a tag name is selected in the Queue Options dialog.
