[ISSUE]: Unreplaced string "{BranchName}" observed in gitversion json output. #4652
Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title
- I have searched issues to ensure it has not already been reported
GitVersion package
GitVersion.Tool
GitVersion version
6.4
Operating system
Windows
What are you seeing?
Getting non-parameterized variable names in version output (ie, "{BranchName}" appears in several output vars).
What is expected?
string literal "{BranchName}" not to appear in variable output; instead a substituted branch name from Git
Steps to Reproduce
Seems to be happening when a branch is specified with mode: ContinuousDelivery
This same setup seems to cause a failure when running from an Azure DevOps pipeline under Linux
Below is the GitVersion.yaml I'm referencing:
mode: ContinuousDeployment
branches:
develop:
regex: ^dev(elop)?(ment)?$
mode: ContinuousDeployment
master:
regex: ^master$|^main$
mode: ContinuousDelivery
label:
increment: Patch
prevent-increment:
of-merged-branch: true
track-merge-target: false
features:
regex: ^features?[/-]
mode: ContinuousDelivery
hotfix:
regex: ^hotfix(es)?[/-]
mode: ContinuousDelivery
release:
regex: ^release(es)?[/-]
mode: ContinuousDelivery
codespike:
regex: ^codespike[/-]
mode: ContinuousDelivery
