Version Number Plugin question

[DaveS]

Jenkins ver. 1.509.1
Version Number Plug-In    1.4.1

I am sure that the answer to this is easy, but I just haven't got it figured out.  I can't get the version number to increment.  I am trying to use the number to create directories to store files from the different builds.

Environment Variable Name  =  TestVersion
Version Number Format String  =  0001
Don't increment failed builds.

mkdir -p C:/NewBuilds/${TestVersion}


TestVersion is always 0001.  Tell me what I am setting incorrectly.  Thanks.

Try clicking the question mark next to the 'Version Number Format String' text field, the behavior is well documented.

The format string '${BUILDS_ALL_TIME, XXXX}' works beautifully.

0001
0002
0003
etc.

How do you reset the Version Number in BUILD_ALL_TIME to start renumbering.

I figured out how to reset the numbering, 'Number of builds since the start of the project'

Hi everyone,

I try to use a different date(the start of the project), but the BUILD_ALL_TIME is not reset.
