GitHub Actions setting wrong version even with `fetch-depth`

[JavierSegoviaCordoba]

Using this + debugging Gradle

name: "Checkout repo"
uses: "actions/checkout@v2"
  with:
    fetch-depth: 0

Let me know that Reckon knows that there is a tag, but for some reason, it is not setting the same version as in local.

The current workaround I have to use is creating a tag without pushing it in Actions

./gradlew reckonTagCreate -P"reckon.stage"="final"

And later to release it as Snapshot.

./gradlew build -P"reckon.stage"="snapshot"

@JavierSegoviaCordoba We ran into the same issue on our repositories after switching to Reckon. The only thing that seemed to work is adding git fetch --unshallow --tags to the actions after checkout.

Something like this:

      - name: Checkout Commit
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Fetch Tags
        run: git fetch --unshallow --tags

The way I landed on this solution is by observing that git describe --tags was also failing. After a bit of searching, I landed on the above flag as a solution to that, which subsequently also fixed reckon.

Checkout seems to do a shallow checkout by default, which excludes tags and the commit history, and without either of those Reckon just... doesn't work. I assume for the same reason that describe failed. Appending --unshadow just ensures we get those commits in addition to the tags.

Closing under the assumption this is resolved. If that's not true and you want to discuss further, please reopen.
