Branch name is not being reported in TravisCI

[guidomb]

I thought that something was wrong with Coveralls because the badge was not working. I contacted them and they told me that the tool I was using to report the coverage wasn't reporting the branch name. I configure xcode-coveralls in verbose mode in travis and I realized that the branch name was not being set in the JSON payload. When I run it locally it works.

Thanks for the report.

Are you sure you are using the latest version? I'm using xcode-coveralls for my other projects on Travis, and the branch name is correctly reported. For instance: https://coveralls.io/github/macmade/CFPP

Is your repository public? And if so, can you provide me with a link to the Travis build and report on coveralls.io?

[guidomb]

Unfortunaly the repo is not public. I am using a script that install xcode-coveralls using homebrew. Maybe the version installed by homebrew is not the latest one.

The homebrew version is the latest one. The issue is certainly because the repository is not public.

I'm going to see if I can add the branch name in the generated JSON.

[guidomb]

I thought the branch name was added to the JSON that is posted to coveralls here. Because if I run xcode-coveralls locally with -v a JSON is printed (I assumed is the one that will be posted to coveralls) and the branch name appears. Why do you think is an issue due to being a private repo?

[guidomb]

This is the git part of the JSON output in Travis when running xcode-coveralls -v

"git" : {
    "head" : {
      "author_name" : "Guido Marucci Blas",
      "id" : "d117b668968c7432729654ad431f545938f24a94",
      "committer_name" : "Guido Marucci Blas",
      "committer_email" : "guidomb@gmail.com",
      "author_email" : "guidomb@gmail.com",
      "message" : "Fixes how installed formula version is extracted.\n"
    },
    "remotes" : [
      {
        "name" : "origin",
        "url" : "git@github.com:MY_PRIVATE_REPO"
      }
    ]
  }

Since you have the list of remotes in the JSON output, the problem is git_reference_is_branch returning falsefor some reason.

That being said, the check seems unnecessary.

I just published version 0.1.1 which should fix the issue. It's available on my homebrew tap: https://github.com/macmade/homebrew-tap

Can you please confirm the branch name is now reported?

Coveralls is super slow today. The last 10 pushes from my repo haven't been processed yet but I added the --verbose flag and in Travis I realized the JSON that is being printed doesn't contain a git object like the one I posted before. Why is this?

[guidomb]

I've just check the output when I run it locally and the git object appears in the JSON. The new version, 0.1.1 changed something that makes the entire git object to not being included in the final JSON.

[macmade]

I just pushed version 0.1.2, which reverts changes in 0.1.1 and adds debugging info for GIT when using verbose mode.

Look for GIT error in the output... Hopefully we'll be able to see what's wrong with the branch name.

[guidomb]

Thanks! Just to let you know Coveralls is in maintenance mode. As soon as the service gets restored I let you know was the error message is.

[guidomb]

Well finally coveralls is working again. The error message is

GIT error (-1): unable to retrieve the branch name

    - Reference 'HEAD' is neither a local nor a remote branch.

[macmade]

I'm currently in holiday. I'll check this ASAP...

@macmade Did you have any chance to take a look a this? Can I help you somehow?
