Jenkins Windows 10: git-submodule cannot be used without a working tree
The error message "git-submodule cannot be used without a working tree" typically occurs when attempting to run git submodule
commands outside of a valid Git working directory. This error suggests that the current directory where the command is being executed is not a Git repository or does not have a valid working tree.
To resolve this issue in the context of Jenkins on Windows 10, you can take the following steps:
Ensure that your Jenkins job is correctly configured to execute within a valid Git working directory. You can set the workspace directory for your Jenkins job to the appropriate Git repository.
Verify that Git is properly installed and configured on the Windows 10 machine running Jenkins. You can test this by running
git
commands in a command prompt outside of Jenkins.If you are using Jenkins pipelines, make sure to properly set up the Git environment before executing any
git submodule
commands. You can use thecheckout
step in Jenkins pipelines to fetch the Git repository and set up the working tree before interacting with submodules.
Here's an example of how you can use the checkout
step in a Jenkins pipeline:
groovypipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Checkout') {
steps {
checkout scm
}
}
stage('Build') {
steps {
// Perform build steps
}
}
}
}
By using the checkout scm
step, Jenkins will clone the Git repository and set up the working tree, allowing you to run git submodule
commands within subsequent stages of your pipeline.
Make sure to adapt the pipeline script to fit your specific needs and repository configuration.
If you continue to encounter issues, please provide more details or error messages so that I can assist you further.
