Are you sure there is not more stacktrace? How did you configure the plugin?

[Dhruva23]

Hi,

I have configured using Jenkins, manage plugins,

[Dhruva23]

Even changelog.md is created in local work space, your help is much appreciated, with free style job, its working as expected, but in pipeline getting the above error.

[tomasbjerre]

Can you supply your pipeline code?

[Dhruva23]

def changelogString = gitChangelog returnType: 'STRING', from: [type: 'REF', value: 'CHANGELOG.md'], to: [type: 'REF', value: 'demo'],

demo is branch name

[tomasbjerre]

ref should be a branch or a tag. You probably dont have such a branch or tag named CHANGELOG.md.

[Dhruva23]

def changelogString = gitChangelog returnType: 'STRING', from: [type: 'REF', value: 'CHANGELOG.md'], to: [type: 'REF', value: 'demo'], template: """

Git Changelog changelog

Changelog of Git Changelog.

ref should be a branch or a tag. You probably dont have such a branch or tag named CHANGELOG.md. Given some this like this def changelogString = gitChangelog returnType: 'STRING', from: [type: 'REF', value: 'demo'], to: [type: 'REF', value: 'demo'], thought build is successful, in workspace not able to find demo

[Dhruva23]

am I missing some thing

[Dhruva23]

managed to resolve issue, gitChangelog from: [type: 'REF', value: 'demo'], returnType: 'STRING', to: [type: 'REF', value: 'demo'] how to save it to changelog.md file, in free style job we can.
