Unable to save options in custom SCM plugin

[Berend D.]

Hi,

I'm attempting to implement a custom SCM, where I am using the git and subversion plugins as examples on how to do this.

I'm currently stuck on setting the global options for my plugin. I made a jelly template to set the 'sometoolPath' option. My understanding of the @DataBoundConstructor and @DataBoundSetter was that this would cause these to be called when the SCM implementation was configured:

public class MySCM extends SCM implements Serializable {

    // Global configuration options - set from the GUI

    private String sometoolPath;

    @DataBoundConstructor

    public MySCM() {

        System.out.println("Instantiated new instance of MySCM!!!");

    }

    @DataBoundSetter

    public void setSometoolPath(String sometoolPath) {

        System.out.println("Updated path: " + sometoolPath);

        this.sometoolPath = sometoolPath;

    }

    public String getSometoolPath() {

        return sometoolPath;

    }

    ...

    @Override

    public DescriptorImpl getDescriptor() {

        return (DescriptorImpl) super.getDescriptor();

    }

    @Extension

    public static final class DescriptorImpl extends SCMDescriptor<MySCM> {

        public DescriptorImpl() {

            super(MySCM.class, null);

            load();

        }

        @Override

        public SCM newInstance(StaplerRequest req, JSONObject formData) throws FormException {

            MySCM scm = (MySCM) super.newInstance(req, formData);

            return scm;

        }

        @Override

        public boolean configure(StaplerRequest req, JSONObject formData) throws FormException {

            save();

            return true;

        }

        @Override

        public String getDisplayName() {

            return "My Cool SCM";

        }

    }

}

But no matter what I do, the setter function is not called.

For completeness, here is the content of MySCM/global.jelly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?jelly escape-by-default='true'?>

<j:jelly xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:st="jelly:stapler" xmlns:d="jelly:define" xmlns:l="/lib/layout" xmlns:t="/lib/hudson" xmlns:f="/lib/form">

    <f:section title="${%Custom SCM Plugin}">

        <f:entry field="sometoolPath" title="${%Path to command}">

            <f:textbox default="customcommand"/>

        </f:entry>

    </f:section>

</j:jelly>

Thanks for any pointers anyone can give me.

Kind regards,
