I have my build.gradle setup as follows (listing only plugins for brevity)
plugins { id 'java' id 'maven-publish' id 'signing' id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.2.2.RELEASE' id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.8.RELEASE' id 'com.limark.gitflowsemver' version '0.3.1' id 'com.google.cloud.tools.jib' version '1.8.0' } ... group = 'com.app.my' // The below line remains commented // version = '0.1.0' ... jib { from { image = 'azul/zulu-openjdk-alpine:11-jre' } to { image = 'aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/my-app' tags = [version] } container { format = 'OCI' } } publishing { repositories { maven { def releasesRepoUrl = "http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-releases/" def snapshotsRepoUrl = "http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-snapshots/" url = version.endsWith('SNAPSHOT') ? snapshotsRepoUrl : releasesRepoUrl credentials { username nexusUsername password nexusPassword } } } publications { mavenJava(MavenPublication) { artifactId = 'my-app' from components.java pom { name = 'My App' description = 'My App' url = 'https://my-app.com' developers { developer { id = 'john' name = 'John Doe' email = '[email protected]' } } scm { connection = 'scm:git:ssh://[email protected]:acme/my-app.git' developerConnection = 'scm:git:ssh://[email protected]:acme/my-app.git' url = 'https://bitbucket.org/acme/my-app' } } } } } signing { sign publishing.publications.mavenJava } The gitflowsemver plugin updates the project.version based on the GitFlow branching strategy. The publish task is able to access the version as updated by the gitflowsemver plugin, but when I try to build a docker image using jib, it does not tag the image with the updated version. It is always tagged as unspecified. But if I un-comment the line version = '0.1.0' the jib plugin is able to pick up the version. I am unable to understand why. Any help is highly appreciated.
