grgit.branch.current() fails

[WvdWvD]

Since this morning (2018-05-31T06:11:28.179Z) my build fails on "grgit.branch.current()" with the message:

No signature of method: org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.FileRepository.getRef() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [HEAD]
  Possible solutions: getAt(java.lang.String), getFS(), grep(), exactRef(java.lang.String), findRef(java.lang.String), getAllRefs()

The call to FileRepository.getRef() is on line 44 of org.ajoberstar.grgit.service.BranchService (current master).

Interestingly enough in this particular build 'org.eclipse.jgit' and 'org.eclipse.jgit.ui' have been update to update version '5.0.0.201805151920-m7'.

I have this issue with grgit version 2.1.1 aswell as 2.2.0.

Even we are facing the same issue. More details:

The method Repository.getRef has been removed in jgit 5.0, in this commit: https://github.com/eclipse/jgit/commit/e1cfe09bfa5b5d9d94189de47301b293ee72b70e#diff-84b209e2927e9436b45eaf8600cbaec1

I was under the mistaken assumption that my POMs were being published with static versions, but it seems the com.gradle.plugin-publish plugin doesn't respect the POM modifications to do that.

I'll push out a quick fix to cap the version so it doesn't include v5. But later today I'll figure out how to get static versions published again in the POM.

I'm gong to have to head off to work, but if this build succeeds there will be a 2.2.1-rc.2 which should statically include JGit 4.11. If that doesn't work or if you need something sooner, you'll need to use the buildscript block to force a specific JGit version to be pulled in.

I still plan to get a final fix out tonight.

Thank you for the quick fix!

I was building a project last night that suddenly wouldn't build for a release I needed today... I love the simplicity of this plugin. Keep up the great work! :)

I'll leave this open until I publish 2.2.1 final (see note in #234 for why that hasn't happened yet). Plan is to wrap this up tonight.

2.2.1 is out now
