git tracking branch error

[anandnalya]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a sbt-release from the master branch on jenkins but getting the following error:

[info] Starting release process off commit: 338bf143888957344045af2999a9bba38bac6e57
java.lang.RuntimeException: No tracking branch is set up. Either configure a remote tracking branch, or remove the pushChanges release part.

Following is the output of git remote show origin

showing remote tracking
Warning: Permanently added '[stash]:7999,[172.21.230.9]:7999' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: ssh://git@stash:7999/~analya/docker-test.git
  Push  URL: ssh://git@stash:7999/~analya/docker-test.git
  HEAD branch: master
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    master pushes to master (up to date)

Am I missing something here?

For some reason, jenkins git was not setting the following properties which I had to do as a pre-built step

git config remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
git config branch.master.remote origin
git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

Based on sbt-release code -

sbt-release/src/main/scala/ReleaseExtra.scala

Line 215 in 3368d00

if (!vcs(st).hasUpstream) {

--set-upstream followed by sbt release worked for me,

git push --set-upstream origin CURRENT_BRANCH_NAME
sbt release
