What are you seeing?

Hello, i tried upgrading gitversion 5.12 to 6.0.2 to use this new feature #3453, but there seems to be an issue using the parameters /url and /b. I also tried computing the version locally, and that works fine. The command docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/repo gittools/gitversion:6.0.2 /repo works correctly, but I rely heavily on the remote mode.

6.0.1 on develop with remote repository:

I think we will remove the support of dynamic repository in the tool as I think it should be the responsibility of the developer that uses the tool to prepare the git repository for the tool to compute the version.

[xpicio]

Thanks for the update.

Just to clarify, will the current issue we're facing be fixed, and are you planning to remove the dynamic repository support in a new major release 7.x.x ? Or will the dynamic repository support remain broken in the 6.x.x releases ?

[arturcic]

I think it will be removed in v7 as part of the cli refactoring. If you want to invest some time in debugging it and filling in a PR, that work would be much appreciated and possibly included in the v6
