Cannot generate version number on BitBucket Cloud Pipelines

[davidkeaveny]

I am using Atlassian's BitBucket Cloud edition and their Pipelines CI service to build a new application (so we haven't done our first merge back to master yet). When I run GitVersion to calculate the version number, the pipeline step fails with the message Gitversion could not determine which branch to treat as the development branch (default is 'develop') nor release-able branch (default is 'main' or 'master'), either locally or remotely. Ensure the local clone and checkout match the requirements or considering using 'GitVersion Dynamic Repositories'.

Expected Behavior

The pipeline step should generate the calculated version number.

Actual Behavior

The pipeline step is erroring with the following exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: Gitversion could not determine which branch to treat as the development branch (default is 'develop') nor release-able branch (default is 'main' or 'master'), either locally or remotely. Ensure the local clone and checkout match the requirements or considering using 'GitVersion Dynamic Repositories'

Steps to Reproduce

I am using the following configuration for Pipelines:

image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0

definitions:
  services:
    docker:
      memory: 2048  # Increasing memory available to stop service memory limit errors

pipelines:
  default:
  - step:
      name: Version
      script:
        - export PATH="$PATH:/root/.dotnet/tools"
        - dotnet tool install --global GitVersion.Tool --version 5.*
        - dotnet-gitversion /diag /output buildserver
  - step:
      name: Build and test
      script:
        - dotnet build --configuration Release

If I run dotnet-gitversion locally on the repo, then the version number is calculated as expected, so I believe that my GitVersion.yml is good.

The complete output from the build server is as follows:

+ export PATH="$PATH:/root/.dotnet/tools"

+ dotnet tool install --global GitVersion.Tool --version 5.*
You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-gitversion
Tool 'gitversion.tool' (version '5.9.0') was successfully installed.

+ dotnet-gitversion /diag /output buildserver

Perhaps a duplicate of #2900?

[davidkeaveny]

I don't believe so - the issue you linked to says that the error they experience occurs on develop but that it works okay when they build on a feature branch. Also, I don't get the error about working on a detached HEAD. I did try a few of the suggested options - calling git fetch --unshallow, which at least added a commit graph to the output, and setting the environment variable Git_Branch (or should it be GIT_BRANCH? The linked issue gives both examples).

With those changes, my Pipelines build step looks like this:

pipelines:
  default:
  - step:
      name: Version
      script:
        - export PATH="$PATH:/root/.dotnet/tools"
        - export Git_Branch=$BITBUCKET_BRANCH
        - export GIT_BRANCH=$BITBUCKET_BRANCH
        - git fetch --unshallow
        - dotnet tool install --global GitVersion.Tool --version 5.*
        - dotnet-gitversion /diag /output buildserver

and the output that it produces is:

I've queried on the Atlassian community boards, and their suggestion was to do a full clone of the repo, and that does change the output a little (I've snipped off the commit graph for now):

I'm not sure what's going on. Are you able to reproduce this in a local clone of a public repository, @davidkeaveny?

[davidkeaveny]

I forked GitVersion and imported that repository into BitBucket Cloud, then created a minimal pipeline, and the wretched thing ran out of the box!

Using the exact same contents for GitVersion.yml and bitbucket-pipelines.yml on my original private repo, it still fails with the same error.

[davidkeaveny]

In the end, I exported my develop branch from BitBucket Cloud, and created a new empty repo, to which I added a minimal pipeline and GitVersion.yml, verified that GitVersion ran as expected, then just imported the old repo into the new develop branch and verified that GitVersion was still working as expected. So I'm guessing there must have been something wrong with the original repo, but I've no idea what...

[davidkeaveny]

Looks like I got ahead of myself - as soon as I created a feature branch from develop and ran the pipeline, then the same error returned.

So to summarise, when building on Atlassian BitBucket Cloud Pipelines and clone: depth: full is set so that the whole repository is cloned:

• if I build from master or develop, then GitVersion works as expected;
• if I build from any other branch (e.g. feature/*) then I get the error Gitversion could not determine which branch to treat as the development branch (default is 'develop') nor release-able branch (default is 'main' or 'master'), either locally or remotely. Ensure the local clone and checkout match the requirements or considering using 'GitVersion Dynamic Repositories'

[davidkeaveny]

Would it help if I implemented a build agent for BitBucket Pipelines? That might help work around whatever limitation is causing this issue; I've got an initial version in https://github.com/davidkeaveny/GitVersion/tree/feature/add-bitbucket-build-agent.
