Unable to automatically discover and build git tags with Jenkins multibranch pipelines and the Git Plugin

Components: git-plugin
Created: 2018-09-05 17:05
Environment: * Jenkins v2.141
* Basic Branch Build Strategies Plugin v1.0.1
* Git plugin v3.9.1
* Bitbucket Server v5.13.1
* Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket Server v4.4.4
* Windows Server 2012 R2
Priority: Major Major
Reporter: Ryan Taylor

I configured a multibranch pipeline job to discover and build branches and tags for my git repository hosted in Bitbucket Server. New branches and commits are discovered and built correctly but new tags remain undiscovered. I can force tag discovery if I initiate a manual scan in Jenkins or I click "Trigger Jenkins" in the Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket Server UI for my repository.

 

My Jenkins Configuration

My Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket Server Configuration

 

Originally, I wanted to use the Bitbucket Branch Source Plugin rather than the Git Plugin but in that case JENKINS-51063 prevents tag discovery and build. Is there a similar issue with the Git Plugin?

I believe this is already available if you install the [Basic Branch Build Strategies Plugin|https://plugins.jenkins.io/basic-branch-build-strategies] as described in a [jenkins.io blog post|https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/05/16/pipelines-with-git-tags/] and in "[Notes from the Lifeboat|https://notesfromthelifeboat.com/post/building-git-tags-with-jenkins/] "

I have the Basic Branch Build Strategies Plugin installed, and set it to discover tags, but it tags remain undiscovered. The mentioned post is using the Git*hub* Plugin, not the Git plugin. I have a support request out to Mohami (creators of the Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket Server) and they indicated it is an issue in the Git Plugin.

I looked through git plugin source and unfortunately it has same issue [as JENKINS-51063]
https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/jenkins/plugins/git/GitSCMSource.java#L628
it incorrectly creates instance GitBranchSCMHead for tags when fires SCMHeadEvent (this is event is used by MultiBranch pipelines to trigger jobs - Freestyle jobs have another invocation procedure). So I don't think it's possible to trigger new tags this way

I'm not familiar enough with the plugin to make this assessment however.

Refer to JENKINS-47496 for more details on building tags with multibranch.

With the latest set of updates, multibranch is discovering all branches like it should, but skipping all builds not manually triggered.  Critical issue.

John Mellor you should probably open a separate bug report that describes how to duplicate the problem you mentioned as:

With the latest set of updates, multibranch is discovering all branches like it should, but skipping all builds not manually triggered. Critical issue.

If the only mention of a critical issue is in a comment on another bug report, it is much less likely to receive attention.

I got the same problem as Ryan Taylor we the exact same setup. Jenkins does not discover the tags automatically received by the Bitbucket hook. I always have to do a manual or scheduled rescan of the multibranch pipeline in order to discover them. I also have the Basic Branch Build Strategies Plugin installed and properly configured. As Ryan already stated it seems there is an issue in the git plugin regarding how it handles the information about a new tag sent by the hook.
