Jenkins / JENKINS-58049 GIT SparseCheckout for multiple clones Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Mark Waite Components: git-plugin Created: 2019-06-17 14:07 Priority: Major Reporter: Khushboo Godara Hi, While trying to use sparseCheckout option under jenkins build step or in pipeline script. i am unable to use it for multiple directories checkout. In both instances the path mentioned at the last checks out ignoring the earlier ones.  This is the code i am using  checkout( [ $class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [ [$class: 'SparseCheckoutPaths', sparseCheckoutPaths: [[path: 'TIA-Profiles/*'], [path: '${TARGET_ENVIRONMENT}/*']]] ], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [ [ credentialsId: '***********', url: 'ssh://g...@bitbucket.internal.fbd.ie:7999/rem/properties.git' ]]])   It ignores the first path  [path: 'TIA-Profiles/*'] and only checks-out path: '${TARGET_ENVIRONMENT}/*'] Out Repo contitutes of multiple directories and properties files and we don't want to checkout all of it in workspace due security and space constraints. Had tried multiple different ways of doing it but does not works.  Kindly suggest. Thanks,     Add Comment

Hi, While trying to use sparseCheckout option under jenkins build step or in pipeline script. i am unable to use it for multiple directories checkout. In both instances the path mentioned at the last checks out ignoring the earlier ones.  This is the code i am using

{noformat} checkout(

[ $class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [ [$class: 'SparseCheckoutPaths', sparseCheckoutPaths: [[path: 'TIA-Profiles/*'], [path: '${TARGET_ENVIRONMENT}/*']]] ], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [ [ credentialsId: '***********', url: 'ssh://g...@bitbucket.internal.fbd.ie:7999/rem/properties.git' ]]])

{noformat}

It ignores the first path  [path: 'TIA-Profiles/*'] and only checks-out path: '${TARGET_ENVIRONMENT}/*'] Out Repo contitutes of multiple directories and properties files and we don't want to checkout all of it in workspace due security and space constraints. Had tried multiple different ways of doing it but does not works.  Kindly suggest. Thanks,

Re: GIT SparseCheckout for multiple clones This is not a bug as far as I can tell.  Refer to [my jenkins-bugs repo|https://github.com/MarkEWaite/jenkins-bugs/blob/JENKINS-58049/Jenkinsfile] for a working example. I was able to confirm that sparse checkout is not correctly supported by the command line git version that is included with CentOS 6.  CentOS 6 includes command line 1.7.1 which is not supported by the Jenkins git plugin.  There are authentication modes which that old version of command line git does not support and several other features which are not available.  The current version of command line git is 2.22.0.

Sparse checkout is also not supported by the JGit implementation that is bundled inside the git client plugin.  However, the JGit implementation is not enabled by default.  If it is enabled and a Pipeline job is configured to use it, and the Pipeline job attempts to perform a sparse checkout, then the Pipeline checkout will fail with a message that sparse checkout is not supported by JGit.
