  • 1.  Git Action Pack with later git versions?

    Posted Jul 13, 2015 10:13 AM

    Hello,

     

    is anyone using the git action packs with later git versions than the ones given in the .pdf?

    I am on git version 2.1.3 and having problems with the Git - Clone action.

     

    Basic problem is I dont get an output neither with a successful nor with an unseccessful execution.

     

    In a simple testing flow I just execute Git clone and afterwards want to write the output to a file.

    The flow gets stuck when the "Add text to file" action is running. It just keeps blinking and is waiting for the output parameter to be filled, I think.

    Step Details Message:

    "

    Waiting For Parameters

    • Parameter 'Default Component/lets go git/01-clone_output' from localhost

    "

    The clone action ended sucessfull saying

    "Operation succeeded.Command output:Cloning into '/J2EE/home/[...]"

    in Step Details.

    So I assume there needs to be some kind of output.

     

    Also it seems, that the action can't end unsuccessfull.

    I unchecked "This action must succeed" but when it fails it just gets stuck with an exclamation mark and Error Message:

    "Error occurred during action execution: null"


    while in the nolio_action_exe.log an  ERROR (com.nolio.platform.shared.datamodel.Action:119) - Exception caught: java.lang.NullPointerException appears.


     

    After reading Help with 'Git - Clone' and 'Git - Pull' actions I tried to add branch master which does not help at all.

     

    So has anyone expierienced likewise behavior? Found a solution?

    Or is it planned to provide an action pack that supports later versions of git?

    I tried with action pack version 10.3.1503.1 as well as 10.2.1405.6.

    Same behavior except I could clone successful without "branch master" in 10.2.1405.6 in 10.3.1503.1 I need to add the branch to clone sucessfully.


    RA Version is 5.0.2.216

    Looking forward to read other experiences or maybe even a solution


    Regards,

    Max

    Hi Max,

     

    I believe this is a known problem. Please do open a support issue so that we can get you version 10.4.1506.1 or higher. It is not public yet.

    Hi Pradeep,

     

    Have you confirmed that you can successfully run git clone from your AIX/Agent machine? If so, what version of the git action pack are you running? Can you run the git clone command in a "Run Command Line" action successfully? Some place you can begin investigating the cause of why the git action pack actions are working are: logs/nolio_action_exe.log and logs/nolio_all.log

     

    Cheers,

    Gregg

    Hi Gregg,

     

    Yes I am able to run git clone through AIX machine.

    Only issue i am facing when trying to run from CA Release Automation.

    Tool version I am using

    Git - > 2.2.2

    CARA git action pack -> Nolio Git actions pack - 10.3.1503.1

     

    From your Communites i can see this action pack will not support useless character.

    So i am using Bitbucket repository to clone the code.

     

     Pasted my screen shot for your reference. and also only this configuration details i configured. I have to add any more details.

     

     

     

     

    When try to test the above action i am getting issue like ABOVE.

    if i specify branch detials like "master" i am getting issue differently like below

     

    But for above message i cross verified that i have a branch like master. then why i am gettin gthis issue.

     

    I am not sure why it getting fail while i am doing git clone action from CARA.

    Please help me on this.

     waiting for your kind response,
