Incorrect branch names in newly spawned jobs

[sherabi]

Hi,
As part of gradle switches I entered the following...
-DjenkinsUrl=http://forge:8080 -DgitUrl=git@scm:product/platform -DtemplateJobPrefix=MINT_Platform_3.7 -DtemplateBranchName=develop -DbranchNameRegex=.*/v37/feature/MINT-.+ -DjenkinsUser=xxxx -DjenkinsPassword=xxxx -DstartOnCreate=true -DnestedView=Wolverine

The branches matching my regex are correctly identified:
10:05:53 executing command: git ls-remote --heads git@scm:product/platform
10:05:54 944bdbc4c66082be384ebc9b697c9926e39b5cab refs/heads/develop

See the ones marked in asterix....
However the newly spawned jobs show the following as their branch specifiers
support/v37/support/v37/feature/MINT-1329
support/v37/support/v37/feature/MINT-1446
support/v37/support/v37/feature/MINT-1452

Notice that support/v37 occurs twice as part of the branch specifier on the newly created jobs. I think this is a bug.
Thanks!

@sherabi Did you ever resolve this? I've never seen this nor have there been any other reports of this.

Hi James,
I was able to eventually figure this out by reading your code. Essentially the job name is where you parse the branch name from. This really should be changed to instead read the configuration file because it renders the branch field in the jenkins job useless. I can put in any branch name in the build job and it could be a dummy branch name since the branch name your code is really concerned with is actually in the name of the build job.

Can you provide a link (to the source in GitHub) where you think the error is?

[jamesdh]

Or even better, write a test that exposes the error?
