[JIRA] (JENKINS-56175) Submodule with space in git URL won't update

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Mark Waite
Components:	git-plugin
Created:	2019-02-18 04:29
Environment:	Git client plugin 3.0.0-rc (and all previous versions) Git plugin 4.0.0-rc (and all previous versions)
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Mark Waite

When a git submodule repository name includes a space character, the git plugin versions through git plugin 4.0.0-rc ignore the submodule.

Problem was found by the plugin pom 3.36 extension which includes a space character in the temporary directories created by the Jenkins test harness.

For example, I defined a repository ssh://hasp...@home.markwaite.net:45022/_{/git/bare/bugs/without-space.git} which includes a submodule from ssh://hasp...@home.markwaite.net:45022//git/bare/bugs/with space.git.

I can clone the without-space repository from the command line and can update the submodule. When I perform the same operation from a Jenkins job, the repository is cloned, but the submodule is not detected and never updates.

When a git submodule repository name includes a space character, the git plugin versions through at least git plugin 4.0.0 -rc ignore the submodule.
