error message: Object [full hash of commit] is not a commit. about gradle-git-versioning-plugin

Thanks for reporting. Could you upload a most simple project to reproduce the error? Or the command steps to reproduce it on my own.

I'll try to fix it this weekend

Yes, I could produce it locally by pulling the changes I made on GitHub to my local machine and then start the gradle build locally. The stacktrace attached above came out of a local gradle run.

I had to use GitHub only for the creation of the git objects that seems to be responsible for the issue.

Just tried to re-produce the issue with 6.1.6 and it works perfectly fine now!

I tagged the same commit twice using the GitHub web UI to first pre-release tagging with v0.0.93 and then modifying that release by changing it from pre-release to a release and re-tagging it with v0.0.94:
commit 4c06c832c3b3a1d5e9d0441de8ef53386c5f983d (HEAD -> main, tag: v0.0.94, tag: v0.0.93, origin/main, origin/HEAD)

Updated my local machine with a git pull and executed the gradle build locally - works fine now!

Thank you for fixing this issue so promptly, much appreciated 😃

And the whole stacktrace would be nice gradle --stacktrace ...

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to reproduce the error by creating an annotated tag in the local copy of the the repo with the git command:
git tag -a v0.0.86 -m "test message goes here"
However, I wasn't able to reproduce the error that way.

I was only able to reproduce it by carrying out certain actions in the GitHub Web UI:

• create a pre-release, tag is v0.0.87
  2736cce28f8c8d51ab8e09e1b898b4fcceef4a3f (HEAD -> main, tag: v0.0.87, origin/main, origin/HEAD)
• edit the pre-release v0.0.87, don't change the tag, change it to a release
  2736cce28f8c8d51ab8e09e1b898b4fcceef4a3f (HEAD -> main, tag: v0.0.87, origin/main, origin/HEAD)
• now, without changing any code in the repo, create a pre-release v0.0.88, the commit will now have two tags:
  2736cce28f8c8d51ab8e09e1b898b4fcceef4a3f (HEAD -> main, tag: v0.0.88, tag: v0.0.87, origin/main, origin/HEAD)

The commit 2736cce28f8c8d51ab8e09e1b898b4fcceef4a3f is then responsible for the crash:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.IncorrectObjectTypeException: Object 2736cce28f8c8d51ab8e09e1b898b4fcceef4a3f is not a tag.

Deleting the tag with git tag -d v0.0.88 and thus going back to
2736cce28f8c8d51ab8e09e1b898b4fcceef4a3f (HEAD -> main, tag: v0.0.87, origin/main, origin/HEAD)
solves the issue

Gradle stacktrace is attached

[qoomon]

the error in the stacktrace says Object ... is not a tag is that the right stacktrace, because you reported Object ... is not a commit

[uli-f]

Thanks for pointing that out.
Not quite sure what went wrong there on my side 🤷🏼
Please let me know if there is anything else that might be helpful to track this down.

@uli-f could you produce the error locally after you run git pull after you created the pre-releases at github?

Feel free to give version 6.1.6 a try
