Identifying Commit of APSIM Version

[rohansaw]

I am running APSIM via CLI on Linux. I am now trying to reproduce results from a specific APSIM release Version (2024.10.7605.0). However, I was not able to identify, how to find the corresponding commit to checkout, to build exactly this Version from source for Linux.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

Here is the information for what you're looking for:

        "releaseDate": "2024-10-24T23:11:31",
        "issue": 9400,
        "title": "Allow a cultivar model to be dropped on an AgPasture model",
        "downloadLinkDebian": "https://builds.apsim.info/api/nextgen/download/7605/Linux",
        "downloadLinkWindows": "https://builds.apsim.info/api/nextgen/download/7605/Windows",
        "downloadLinkMacOS": "https://builds.apsim.info/api/nextgen/download/7605/MacOS",
        "infoUrl": "https://github.com/APSIMInitiative/ApsimX/issues/9400",
        "version": "2024.10.7605.0",
        "revision": 7605

If you go to that issue, you'll be able to get the exact commit.

just following up on this - Is there a general way to look this up? Where is the information that you provided from? Right now I am trying to install 2025.11.7927, however I wasn't able to figure out the pattern on how to look up the associated commit based solely on the version number.

This command will give you the full list of all builds and associated information:

curl --location --request POST 'https://builds.apsim.info/api/nextgen/list'

Step 1:

Once you have found the matching JSON object with the correct version number, then you can use the "infoUrl" field and look up the issue.

Step 2:

Once on that page you can see which PR resolved the issue by clicking the merged PR button as shown below:

Step 3:

Once you've gone to the merged PR page, find the merge commit short SHA as shown below:

Step 4

Checkout the exact commit with a command like git checkout 889e997.

Hopefully this is helpful. Let me know if you have further questions.

@ric394 When I issue curl --location --request POST 'https://builds.apsim.info/api/nextgen/list', I get a response of:
curl: (3) URL rejected: Port number was not a decimal number between 0 and 65535

Ah. The problem seems to have been the quotes around the URL. Works OK when I remove them.

I was just about to reply with the exact same solution. I'm glad you figured it out 😄 👍 .Oddly, the original command works fine in WSL Ubuntu.
