CATMAID server version string

[Gregory Jefferis]

Hi Tom,

https://fafb.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/version

returns {"SERVER_VERSION": "1bf6740"}

how should it be setup to return  the result of git describe 1bf674006 i.e.

2016.09.01-2751-g1bf674006

Is it just a very old version of CATMAID and a new one would return a version string based on a date format tag?

Many thanks,

Greg.

Hi Greg,

This happens if the git repo on VFB doesn't have tags pulled. You can reproduce this by initializing a bare git repo, adding the catmaid github as a remote repo, then fetching with the `--no-tags` option.

What's also interesting is that your `git describe` example does not match mine (I get `2018.04.15-288-g1bf6740`).

Running `git fetch --tags` should fix the acute problem, but there's probably some issue with either the `fetch` or `tagopt` git config for the github remote on the VFB server. 

Best,

Andrew

Thanks, Andrew. I forgot to fetch new tags for my repo – that was silly.

So now I get:

2018.04.15-288-g1bf674006

like you say.

So I think the point is the repo config for VFB checkout. Now Rob is using the catmaid docker IIUC, so that probably should be changed to include tags.

Best,

Greg.
