Re: Sparse Checkout in GIT

[Mark Waite]

Yes, it is.  You'll need a git version which supports sparse checkout, and a recent version of git-client-plugin and a recent version of git-plugin.

Once you have those pre-requisites, then you click the "Add" button in "Additional Behaviours" and select "Sparse Checkout paths".  We use it very often.  It works well for us.

Check that your git repository actually contains a commit with SHA1 faaf2c4ff254904ca0692a69270b9d342cd8a637 .

If it does, then check that the repository which Jenkins is using actually contains a commit with SHA1 faaf2c4ff254904ca0692a69270b9d342cd8a637.

Assure that you are not using "shallow clone" in the Jenkins repository, since a shallow clone may not include the SHA1 you're trying to use.

If directoryA is a parent of directoryB and you only want directoryB, then you would list directoryA/directoryB in the sparse checkouts field.

Thanks Mark. Will give a try. Could you please let me know what path should I give in the sparse checkout if my project setup is as below,

Root

I want to sparse checkout Project B

I don't understand what you mean by dynamic file.

Git does not have a concept of a file kept in one location in the repository and moved to another during checkout, at least not as far as I know.

I guess you could copy the file as part of your build script, but there is no way to make that part of the checkout.

If you create the file yourself, then why not create the file in the directory where you want it?  

Alternately, why not copy it into the place where you want it with the same program or build step which created the file?

The dynamic file is not associated with the repo. We create a dynamic testng file and refer the test class in that. so the testng file should reside inside the repo.

You could add a build step to the job which copies the file before the step which performs the build.

We do not have privileges to change the source code of the testng file creation and it.

The file is created to the workspace directory on the run time by taking the string parameters from Jenkins.

is there any workaround for this ?

Even if it did people who received the email via mailing list like myself still have access anyway so if there's something that you have now had compromised, now's a good time to change it :)
