[workflow-plugin] clean after checkout in GenericSCM step

[Timur Batyrshin]

Hi all,

How should I clean the checkout directory using GenericSCM step of workflow-plugin?

The snippet generator generates the line like the following:

checkout scm: [$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], extensions: [<object of type hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout>], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: '4db1f14a-c479-48af-a3ea-da676bc2b051', url: 'https://github.com/XXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX.git']]]

It looks like the [<object of type hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout>] is not the correct Groovy syntax here (so says Jenkins).

I've tried passing the following ways of specifying extensions but none of them worked:

extensions: [hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout()]

extensions: [CleanCheckout()]  // + at the very top of the script "import hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout"

extensions: [$class: 'CleanCheckout']

extensions: [[$class: 'CleanCheckout']]

Any ideas how this should be done?

Thanks,

Timur

I've been hitting this as well. That doesn't help you solve it, however. I'm starting to think Workflow Plugin 1.1 is not ready for prime time. I hit a lot of bogus items.

Hi Timur,

I had a similar problem with cloning into another directory. If you look into the config.xml of a job where the GitSCM is used you see something like this:

  <scm class="hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM" plugin="g...@2.3.4">

    <configVersion>2</configVersion>

    <userRemoteConfigs>

      <hudson.plugins.git.UserRemoteConfig>

        <url>https://github.com/XXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX.git'</url>

      </hudson.plugins.git.UserRemoteConfig>

    </userRemoteConfigs>

    <branches>

      <hudson.plugins.git.BranchSpec>

        <name>*/master</name>

      </hudson.plugins.git.BranchSpec>

    </branches>

    <doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations>false</doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations>

    <submoduleCfg class="list"/>

    <extensions>

      <hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout/>

    </extensions>

  </scm>

the extension part must be 'translated' to:

extensions: [[$class: 'hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout']]

So you command should be something like:

checkout scm: [$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], extensions: extensions: [[$class: 'hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout']], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: '4db1f14a-c479-48af-a3ea-da676bc2b051', url: 'https://github.com/XXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXX.git']]]

Actually just $class: 'CleanCheckout' should suffice.
