Git Publisher "target remote name" validation problems, single repo

Question

I am trying to use the Git Publisher plugin to tag a successful build with the $BUILD_TAG, but I cannot figure out a value for the Target remote name that it will accept. If I use the Repository URL in the GIT configuration I'm told, No remote repository configured with the name . I tried naming the configuration and using that as the Target remote name, no luck.

My SCM configuration (company name elided):

• Repository URL: http://stash.company.com/scm/semsrch/medqp.git
• Credentials: sebuserro/****** [This is configured by our build team]
• Name: experiment
• Branch Specifier: origin/experiment

My Git Publisher configuration:

• Push Only If Build Succeeds: checked
• Tag to push: $BUILD_TAG
• Tag message: $BUILD_URL
• Create new tag: checked
• Target remote name: http://stash.company.com/scm/semsrch/medqp.git

There is something about Git that I'm missing here.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Answer 1

If your branch name is experiment and remote name is origin, change your SCM and Git Publisher configuration to:

SCM configuration:

• Name: "origin"
• Branch Specifier: "*/experiment"

Git Publisher configuration:

• Target remote name: "origin"

The important thing, is to set the same name for Name parameter in SCM and Target remote name in Git Publisher.

I know it's a bit too late for answer, but maybe someone will find it useful.
