'repository not found' error

[robmoore]

I have a project in a git repo that I've checked out locally and when I try to run gradle build I experience the following error:

...
:generateGitProperties FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':generateGitProperties'.
> org.eclipse.jgit.errors.RepositoryNotFoundException: repository not found: /home/rob/Work/IdeaProjects/my-project/.git/logs/refs/heads
...

The directory referred to above exists and the current branch is represented beneath it. I'd appreciate any tips to resolve this. I've tried removing the directory and cloning the repo again from scratch but it doesn't appear to make any difference.

Having same problem on some (!) of our repos:

[ERROR] [org.gradle.internal.buildevents.BuildExceptionReporter] Execution failed for task ':server:generateGitProperties'.
[ERROR] [org.gradle.internal.buildevents.BuildExceptionReporter] > org.eclipse.jgit.errors.RepositoryNotFoundException: repository not found: /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build/.git/refs/remotes/origin

Note: it still works with 1.4.17

Hey guys - any update on this issue?

Hi everybody,
I have created a PR, which fixes the issue: #50
As a workaround (until this PR is merged) you may use the following procedure:

1. build the plugin locally from my fork:

./gradlew build

2. take gradle-git-properties-1.4.20.jar from build/libs folder and put it into you project repo into some folder. E.g. I put it into gradle/plugins/ folder.
3. Adjust your build.gradle:

buildscript {
	//...
	dependencies {
		//...
		classpath 'org.ajoberstar:gradle-git:1.4.2'
		classpath files('gradle/plugins/gradle-git-properties-1.4.20.jar')
	}
}

org.ajoberstar:gradle-git:1.4.2 - is the only dependency which is used by the plugin.

after quick investigation - problem appeared when current working directory does not match, let's say, jar.baseName (e.g. in jenkins - where directory named after jenkins job, not after jar.baseName).

This PR fixes the issue - thanks for the valuable contribution!
