Tag not fetched from Git Repo

See original GitHub issue

This is maybe not directly on issue with the tasks but more with the agent. We’re using GitFlow and have pushed a master release containing tag to VSTS, which kicks off the build.

Latest commit on master is: 201b3672ff4fe1c9e1fac0c1912998ca25948a48: Merge branch release/1.1.5

This commit is tagged with 1.1.5.

The log for Get Sources mentions that it checks out this commit. Afterwards I run GitVersion to determine the version which requires the tag on the master commit to correctly determine the version. Unfortunately it seems like the latest tag was not fetched to the agent (everything up to 1.1.4 seems to be there, but not 1.1.5).

Do you have any idea why tags sometimes are not fetched to the agent?

I talked with @TingluoHuang. Support for prefering git.exe has been added: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/scripts/git-commands#how-does-enabling-scripts-to-run-git-commands-affect-how-the-build-process-gets-build-sources

Also as mentioned previously, the new agent (currently in preview) always uses git (not LibGit2Sharp).

@pascalberger I believe this was the limitation of libgit2sharp. you won’t get annotated tags. If you have access to the build machine, add “build.fetchtags = true” to system environment variable. it would fetch the annotated tags. In the coming release, we provide an option in agent to let it using git.exe to sync code. once that in place, this problem will be solved.
