[Question] How to configure GitVersion for Continuos Delivery

[DanieleSky]

Hi,
sorry for the question but I haven't find an answer.
I'm using GitFlow branching strategy and I have the main branch tagged with a version number 1.3.0.
From this I opened a dev branch and from dev the release branch.

The release branch has name "releases-1.4.0" and I tagged a commit with v1.4.0-beta.1.

I obtain this output:

1.4.0-beta-1.1+1
Executing GenerateBuildLogOutput for 'GitLabCi'.
GitVersion_Major=1
GitVersion_Minor=4
GitVersion_Patch=0
GitVersion_BuildMetaData=1

GitVersion_CommitsSinceVersionSource=1
GitVersion_UncommittedChanges=0
Outputting variables to 'gitversion.properties' ...

I would like, because I use the Continuos Delivery, to remve the commit number on FullSemVer (1.4.0-beta-1.1+1 would became 1.4.0-beta-1).
Which configuration I should have to obtain this?

I'm using the default gitVersion configuration and GitLab for CI/CD.

Thanks!

Hi there.

May I ask you: Have you tagged your commit with 1.4.0-beta-1 or 1.4.0-beta.1? Because the resulting output is very strange. Anyway have you tried the ContinuosDeployment mode in the release branch configuration?

Cheers Hardy

[DanieleSky]

I tagged my commit with 1.4.0-beta.1

You can notice also from the value of "GitVersion_BranchName" on previous screenshot.
I will try switching to ContinuosDeployment and I return to you.
Thanks!

I'm confused about the pre-release label with value beta-1. If you see the following integration test then everything works like expected:

[Test]
public void Just_A_Test()
{
    var configuration = GitFlowConfigurationBuilder.New.WithBranch("release", _ => _
        .WithVersioningMode(VersioningMode.ContinuousDeployment)
    ).Build();

    using var fixture = new EmptyRepositoryFixture("main");

    fixture.MakeATaggedCommit("1.3.0");
    fixture.BranchTo("releases-1.4.0");
    fixture.MakeATaggedCommit("v1.4.0-beta.2");

    // ✅ succeeds as expected
    fixture.AssertFullSemver("1.4.0-beta.2", configuration);

    fixture.MakeACommit();

    // ✅ succeeds as expected
    fixture.AssertFullSemver("1.4.0-beta.3", configuration);
}

I think that the commit with message ```Merge branch 'release-1.4.0' into releases-1.4.0``` breaks some logic.. seems that because of this commit the tag is ignored in favour of branch name strategy.
I'm wrong?

I think the issue is either you are building from a tag in azure devops or your branch environment is set to v1.4.0-beta.1 or other reason. Thus what I'm trying to say is you are not running against the branch with name releases-1.4.0 like in your descrption if you ask me. The concequence is gitversion takes not the configuration for release but for unknown branch which result to something you are not expecting.

Ok thanks, I've understand.
But I'm in GitLab, do you know how I can change this behavior?
I'm using this script here

[DanieleSky]

I've found this PR #3768 and I'm trying to apply in GitLabCI agent without success.
Now the branch isn't specify but instead of the release branch, gitVersion take the dev branch..

But in any case I have a doubt about this line of log:
INFO [01/15/24 14:28:25:67] Current commit is tagged with version 1.4.0-beta.1, version calculation is for meta data only.

Why if the commit is tagged the flow continue with all strategies?

[DanieleSky]

What a pity this lack of information/answers :(
I cannot have the version that I want from the tag ....
