GitTools/GitVersion

Use convention to derive a SemVer product version from a GitFlow based repository

Stanley Goldman

@StanleyGoldman

on Mac and Linux environments, GitVersion is not

I'm currently migrating a pet project from AppVeyor to GitHub Actions, wanted to use linux, and I did not have choco by default on linux

I responded by creating a GitHub Action that installs GitVersion in linux and mac: https://github.com/StanleyGoldman/setup-gitversion

After conversing with some coworkers, a maintainer of libgit2 also felt himself in the same corner, and implemented one for himself: https://github.com/ethomson/setup-gitversion

Stanley Goldman

@StanleyGoldman

I realize it would be better to get GitVersion's command line tool installed into GitHub Actions for Linux and Mac environments

if nothing else, but for the sake of parity

i hope i've made sense of my verbal thought diarrhea earlier...

Yip, it totally makes sense to get GitVersion installed by default on the base images that ship as part of GitHub Actions. I think there is still some merit in having a GitHub Action that installs the GitVersion .Net Global Tool though. That way, when using another image to run your GitHub Actions, you have the ability to install GitVersion on any OS that has .Net Core installed.

Stanley Goldman

@StanleyGoldman

hmm, i think i'm starting to see your point

Hi, does anyone have experience with GitVersionTask Nuget by any chance?
if so I have struggled with this for a while: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58714174/gitversion-nuget-version-to-include-sha

in short, I'm trying to format my NugetVersion instead of using the default, by adding -{ShortSha} in the end (to versions with prefix)

I am seeing a weird issue with hotfix branches.

GitVersion seems to break with an Object Reference error when I create hotfix/v1.2.1 naming conventions.

Is this normal? Should the name I use for a hotfix branch matter? Seems if I rename the branch at the head after a given commit and push again everything works.

If I am missing something in the docs, I apologize. I am not above reading the manual.

@devlead

Does it work if you skip the v just hotfix/1.2.1 ?

Rodney Littles II

@RLittlesII

Yes. And being fair the first push to this branch works fine, its only subsequent ones that fail.

I am testing that additional pushes to the hotfix/1.2.1 functions as expected.

Rodney Littles II

@RLittlesII

@devlead I used hotfix/assets the first push was fine. The second caused an error. I am going to submit an issue with the output.

Rodney Littles II

@RLittlesII

Or maybe I'll update to latest and try again before submitting an issue.

Does anyone have an example jenkins declarative pipeline using gitversion?

Jericho

@Jericho

I am currently investigating an issue in my build but was hoping someone could share some pointers: I am getting Could not load type AsyncCompletedEventArgs from assembly System.Net.WebHeaderCollection (see build log). This occurs when trying to calculate version.

I do not get this exception when running locally:

Hi! Please tell me how to use GitVersion with GitLab CI? I use nuke-build that wraps GitVersion calls. Not working with GitLab CI:
" > /usr/bin/dotnet /root/.nuget/packages/gitversion.tool/5.1.1/tools/netcoreapp3.0/any/GitVersion.dll
Error parsing Infinity value. Path '', line 1, position 1."

@karimgarza

Has anybody been able to run Gitversion in Centos 7? I downloaded the binary but it does not run and it throws this error "The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception."

Artur

@arturcic

Which version have you installed?

Karim Garza

@karimgarza

@arturcic 5.1.1 and 5.1.2

i have dotnet --version "3.0.101"

Artur

@arturcic

if you use that, how do you run it?

Karim Garza

@karimgarza

Artur

@arturcic

hmm

intereseting

can you also try the global tool?

Karim Garza

@karimgarza

@NikitaKazachkov_gitlab

Does GitVersion work with dotnet cli?
There is an example of using GitLab?

Simon Novak

@snovak7

GitVersionTask nuget package tags the binaries

But disable automatic assembly generation

AssemblyInfo that is

Mattias Karlsson

@devlead

@NikitaKazachkov_gitlab yes, use GitVersion tool with .NET Core CLI
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GitVersion.Tool/
