Confusion over creating branch aware repository


Hi,

Using Continua 1.7.1.163.

I’m attempting to setup a branch aware repository for our ‘/branches/hotfixes/’ folder (subversion). The folders are structured as so:

/newlook/trunk/
/newlook/branches/
/newlook/branches/10.x.x/
/newlook/branches/hotfixes/
/newlook/branches/hotfixes/10.x.x-Issue1223/
/newlook/branches/hotfixes/10.x.x-Issue3133/

I’ve attached a screenshot with the error I get when I specify ‘/hotfxies/[^/]+/’ for the ‘Branch Pattern’.

Oddly, if I specify ‘/newlook/branches/hotfixes’ for the ‘Branchs Path’ and ‘/[^/]+/’ as the ‘Branch Pattern’ then it works!?

What would be the recommended values for this?

Hi Simon,

You need to clear the checkbox that says “match branch pattern against top–level folders only”. When this is ticked Continua CI does not recurse the full folder tree looking for pattern matches.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks!
