Git plugin issue in pipeline

[Abhijith Reddy]

Whenever i specify a branch with GitSCM i see the following issue

Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job.

Here's my Jenkinsfile

node {

    deleteDir()

    checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: 'feature/my-branch]], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [[$class: 'CleanBeforeCheckout'],[$class: 'PruneStaleBranch']], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: 'aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa', url: GIT_URL]]])

}

and here is the error

I suspect you're encountering a conflict between the git plugin maintaining compatibility with old behavior, and the desire to support branch names which contain slashes.

Refer to the online help in the git plugin for alternate ways to define a branch name.  The format "word/word" is (unfortunately) ambiguous since it can be interpreted as either the local branch "feature/branch" or as a branch named "branch" on a remote named "feature".

If you'll ask for "remote/feature/branch", I think you'll get the result you want.

Refer to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-14026 for more history on the issue.

As in, "origin/feature/branch" if you're using the default remote name, "origin".

Can you try with something like that inside your Jenkinsfile :

node {

    deleteDir()

    checkout scm

}

Jenkins seems to be already able to retrieve your Jenkinsfile, so you don't need to give all SCM details inside it, see https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/jenkinsfile/#creating-a-jenkinsfile

Thanks @Mark. I switched to using refspecs and it seems to have addressed the issue.
