Octo.exe release export don't work with semantic version containing -

Legacy Uncategorised

Hi,

Octo.exe release export don’t work for version numbers containing -. 1.0.0-beta is a valid version number, but it’s not possible to export this release since the releaseVersion parameter in the ReleaseExporter command split the export range using “-”.

  • should not be used to separate min and max export version since it’s a valid part of the version number.

This behavior should be changed in Octo.exe to allow export of releases with valid version numbers.

We use these -labels a lot in our builds so it would be good if this could be changed. It’s a blocking issue for us since we are not able to export these releases.

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the bug report, I’ve created an issue here to track it:

Any chance of getting this fixed before 3.0? We are currently not able to export any of the releases we have with a -label.

It should be a quick fix. I looked at the code and it’s only one place you need to change.
Changing ReleaseExporter Split from ‘-’ to ‘:’ or maybe to “->” should fix this.

Any news on getting this before 3.0? This is a blocking issue for us.

Anything I can do to help out? I can create a pull request if that helps speeding things up, but I guess the fix is so simple that you probably will spend the same amount of time reviewing the pull request as you would actually fixing the issue yourself :slight_smile:

Hi Jan,

We will be discussing this issue in our next sprint, so it will be a ‘soon’ release and should be part of the 2.6 early revisions.
Unfortunately, even at a small glance, we believe this is more complicated than a one line change, as it has a bit of a knock on effect.
But it will definitely happen well before 3.0.

Hi Jan,

Sorry for the delay, this has been implemented now - you can use -> to separate a range of releases. If you try to export a single release with a semver tag it should also work.

You can download a new Octo.exe build here:
