unable to release because of local modifications

[Jorik1977]

When I try to release under Windows 7x64 with following configuration:

release {
failOnSnapshotDependencies = true
allowLocalModifications = false
releaseDryRun = false
scm = 'git'
username = gitUser
password = gitPassword
}

I receive allways:

"Uncommited changes found in the source tree"

Of course, there are no changes :)

Is the logic hier:

def boolean hasLocalModifications() {
    gitExec(['status', '--porcelain']) != ""
}

correct?

[ari]

gitExec(['status', '--porcelain']) != null

is probably correct... I think the behaviour changed at some point. I should probably move to jgit when I have a chance...

[Jorik1977]

ok.
thanks for response

I also get "Uncommited changes found in the source tree" when building in bash with "gradle release" even though there are no uncommitted changes.

I don't understand your response @ari can you elaborate how to get round this?

@Jorik1977 - did you resolve this?

[Jorik1977]

I use

allowLocalModifications = true

and check git modifications manually :)

Worked a treat, thanks!!

Same problem here Ari.

You are using org.gradle.api.Project.exec which apparently is executing git from the OS. However running git status --porcelain gives me no result which means no uncommitted changes. Not sure if this is something related to how you set the ExecSpec closure?

I'm having this same issue. I have a brand new repo with 2 files: build.gradle & .gitignore
I have master checked out & the version of my master == version of remote master
However, when I attempt to run a release, it complains of
gradle release -PreleaseVersion=1.0.1
:release FAILED
