Error using new 6.7 feature "Repository Tag"

[Jörg Mattes]

Hi

I've upgraded to bamboo 6.7.1, and now I'm trying to use the new feature Repository Tasks. I'm trying to tag when I deploy, so I added the task "Repository Tag" to my deployment project, but it fails with:

23-Okt-2018 14:54:20 Error occurred while running Task 'Tag(4)' of type com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.vcs:task.vcs.tagging.
23-Okt-2018 14:54:20 com.atlassian.bamboo.task.TaskException: Repository id 17530883 is invalid. Please reselect from the configuration screen.

23-Okt-2018 14:54:20 at com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.vcs.task.VcsTagTask.execute(VcsTagTask.java:48)

I reselected the repository in the system config and the plan config, but still get the same error. I even checked in the database, and as far as I can see, that id is valid.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jörg.

Ok, problem solved now. I just had to put a "Checkout" Task in front of the "Tag" Task.

Quick update: I did some more testing, and it seems that tagging works as part of a build plan, but not as part of a deployment.

Using Bamboo 6.10.2 - is that still true that tagging a repo does not work in deployment tasks?  I mean, that's the time to tag the repo is when something is deployed.
