git fails if no global email/name set, even if set in Jenkins interface about scm-sync-configuration-plugin HOT 11 OPEN

4 years later and this is still not fixed?..

from scm-sync-configuration-plugin.

the easiest way i had a workaround for this was by adding a .gitconfig file in the jenkins root folder with the following:

[user]
        name = <git-username>
        email = <git-email>

from scm-sync-configuration-plugin.

I've set that in Jenkins Global Configuration (Git plugin settings) and still get this error

from scm-sync-configuration-plugin.

I'm experiencing the same behaviour on a first time install of the plugin (version 0.0.7.3).

Thanks for including a workaround! Setting --global user.email and user.name via command line worked for me as well.

I can confirm this issue ...

I can also confirm this issue. Jenkins 1.577 , git plugin 2.2.7 , git client plugin 1.11.0

+1 on this -- is there @jenkinsci is it possible to use git credentials provided by the SSH credentials plugin?

Also an issue for us.
I believe this is because the usual scm usage doesn't create commits at all. So the scm plugin doesn't intend to leave any configuration for git execution in shell steps.
Maybe it's worth considering a withSCM step to allow custom commands using the values configured in the scm plugin, but that sounds like a major redesign of the whole SCM plugin interface.
I workaround the issue by wrapping the checkout step with a custom step in a custom shared library.

If this plugin would use Git plugin configuration, couldn't there be a problem when Git configuration is changed during synchronization?

Oh wow I didn't see that I was posting for the sync plugin, sorry. :) I was talking about the general git plugin.

So, it's still not fixed.
I need to explicitly mention the git config command in the pipeline like this
sh """ git config --global user.email '[email protected]' git config --global user.name 'jenkin' """
else I always get "Please tell me who you are" error although I set the global username and email
