Why is Bamboo VCS Tagging Tasks erroring on authentication?

[Michael Oltman]

I've setup a simple tutorial job to test and verify how we're going to use Bamboo in our OnDemand environment. I am able to get the source code pull task and build tasks working, but can't get the VCS Tagging task to work with the following error.

com.atlassian.bamboo.task.TaskException: Exception when tagging repository

I cannot find any configuration around enabling Bamboo access to Fisheye SVN and since these are integrated with OnDemand I'm not sure why this error should occur

[Michael Oltman · Accepted solution]

stopped using SVN, so doesn't matter now

I changed repository type to Subversio (it was FishEye) and it worked.

[Leandro Iriarte]

I am having this problem. Any solution/workaround? It is working fine for checkouts/updates but not for tagging. Please help

Hi Mike,

It seems like a misconfiguration of your SVN URL. If you still need help, please open a Support request under OnDemand project and let us know the Project/Plan name for which you want to configure the source code checkout. Also, let us know what that plan is supposed to do - what you are trying to achieve.

Cheers,
Armen
