Repository Exclude Patterns

Continua CI Discussion
1

I seem to be having a problem with some of the exclude patterns and I’m not entirely sure why.  

When we trigger a “special” or a “nightly” build, it increments the 4th number in the version and checks in two files for maintaining those values across subsequent builds.  The files are:
\VersionInfo\VersionInfo.rc
\VersionInfo\Version.ini
(these are as shown in the “changeset” in Continua when a build gets triggered).

I want to ignore changesets that have only these files.  I thought doing something like
\VersionInfo** 
in the “Exclude Pattern” would work, but that doesn’t seem to do it. 

I’ve tried a ridiculous number of variations on this with no luck…so what am I missing?

Thanks,

Hi Jeremy,

Which version of Continua are you running? We recently implemented a fix for Subversion exclude patterns in version 1.5.1.49 as we were previously including the full branch path when matching.I have tested the pattern \VersionInfo** and it works as expected. If it still does not work for you after upgrading to version 1.5.1.49, can you send us a debug log so we can investigate further.

Dave,

We’re using 1.5.1.23 and using Surround SCM. Would the Subversion change also fix it for Surround?

Thanks
