"List Subversion Tags" - and branches and trunk?

[Jeff Dege]

According to the help description, List Subversion tags is supposed to:

Notice that you can set the Repository URL field to a Subversion repository root rather than just pointing to a tags dir (ie, you can set it to https://svn.jenkins-ci.org rather than https://svn.jenkins-ci.org/tags). In that case, if this repository root contains the trunk, branchesand tags folders, then the dropdown will allow the user to pick the trunk, or a branch, or a tag.

I have a repository that contains a number of different projects, each of which has a ./trunk, ./branch, ./tag structure. When I set the Repository URL to the root of a project, I only see branch, tag, trunk, I don't see the branches in ./branch or the tags in ./tag.

Is this only supposed to work when the URL is pointing to a repository root? Do many people actually create a separate repository for each and every project? I'd not have expected so.

Or is this a bug? Or am I simply doing something wrong?

I don't know much java, but I'd guess it has something to do with:

private static final String SVN_BRANCHES = "branches";
private static final String SVN_TAGS = "tags";
private static final String SVN_TRUNK = "trunk";
(per usual subversion conventions) in:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/subversion-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/scm/listtagsparameter/ListSubversionTagsParameterDefinition.java

Functionally, subversion doesn't really care what your directories are
named, but sometimes conventions matter.

That very well could be the problem.

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,
You may specify regexp in tags filter. Like the following.

parameterized build settings (with parameter type of "list subversion tags"):
Name: branch
Repository URL: svn://vcs.local/main/projectA
Tags filter: trunk|(tags|branches)/.*
Default value: trunk

and use it later at project's SCM settings:
Repository URL: svn://vcs.local/main/projectA/${branch}

it works in any part of the SVN repo.

I've been unable to make this work.

Only "trunk" shows up in the dropdown. The pattern only seems to be applied one directory deep.

BTW - despite my earlier post, my repository does use "branches" and "tags", plural, as is the standard convention.

I' m running Jenkins on Windows - could this be an OS-dependant problem.
