This plugin can be used to determine the next release version based on previous tags and the commit messages used.
It can also be used to get the current version.
:warning: By default only annotated tag are supported, to support non annotated tag you must use an option to activate this feature (see below).:warning:
It calculates the version number based on the format of the commit message.
The commit message format used is conventional commits.
This plugin can be used in a pipeline in a stage or the environment block. Some examples of this in use are:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
CURRENT_VERSION = currentVersion()
NEXT_VERSION = nextVersion()
}
stages {
stage('Hello') {
steps {
echo "current vesion = ${CURRENT_VERSION}"
echo "next version = ${NEXT_VERSION}"
}
}
}
}
def NEXT_VERSION
node {
stage('Get next version ...') {
CURRENT_VERSION=currentVersion()
echo "Current version: $CURRENT_VERSION"
NEXT_VERSION=nextVersion()
echo "Next version : $NEXT_VERSION"
}
stage ('Release') {
sh "mvn release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=$NEXT_VERSION"
sh 'mvn release:perform'
}
}
The plugin provides provision to use optional parameters for support of build metadata, pre-release information, settings the start tag, etc. :warning: These parameters are only for the nextVersion step ! :warning:
buildMetadata
an optional parameter can be added as follows:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
NEXT_VERSION = nextVersion(buildMetadata: "$env.BUILD_NUMBER")
}
stages {
stage('Hello') {
steps {
echo "next version = ${NEXT_VERSION}"
}
}
}
}
Assuming next version is 1.1.0
.
The pipeline will output :next version = 1.1.0+001
For a 1.0.0
existing version the following code :
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
NEXT_VERSION = nextVersion(preRelease: 'alpha')
}
stages {
stage('Hello') {
steps {
echo "next version = ${NEXT_VERSION}"
}
}
}
}
Will display :next version = 1.1.0-alpha
There are three options to manipulate the prerelease option :
preRelease
preservePrelease
incrementPreRelease
The table below resume the combined use of these options and the result:
current version | Breaking change commit msg | Feature commit msg | Other or empty commit msg | prerelease | preservePreRelease | incrementPreRelease | Output |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.1.0 | X | - | - | - | - | - | 1.0.0 |
0.1.0 | - | X | - | - | - | - | 0.2.0 |
0.1.0 | - | - | X | - | - | - | 0.1.1 |
0.1.0 | X | - | - | alpha | - | - | 1.0.0-alpha |
0.1.0 | - | X | - | alpha | - | - | 0.2.0-alpha |

0.1.0-alpha | - | - | X | - | X | X | 0.1.1-alpha.1 |
0.1.0-alpha | X | - | - | beta | - | - | 1.0.0-beta |
0.1.0-alpha | - | X | - | beta | - | - | 0.2.0-beta |
0.1.0-alpha | - | - | X | beta | - | - | 0.1.1-beta |
The optional parameter writeVersion
allow writing back to the file the next calculated version.
:warning: For some configurations files, the CLI is needed (maven fo example). :warning:
The supported configurations files :
Example of use : With a project with a package.json as follows :
{
"name": "conventional-commits-plugin-example-npm",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Npm example project"
}
The following pipeline with a commit with a commit message like feat: my cool feature:
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
NEXT_VERSION = nextVersion(writeVersion: true)
}
stages {
stage('Hello') {
steps {
echo "next version = ${NEXT_VERSION}"
}
}
}
}
Will update the package.json as follows :
{
"name": "conventional-commits-plugin-example-npm",
"version": "1.1.0",
"description": "Npm example project"
}
