@{version} doesn't get resolved in <tagReleaseMessage>

[Wavemaster111188]

Problem

If you use @{version} in a tag it simply isn't applied (instead it shows the plain text "@{version}").

Reason

This is because the properties map is not taken into account for tagging.

The following code is executed in gitCommit but not in gitTag:

       if (map != null) {
            for (Entry<String, String> entr : map.entrySet()) {
                message = StringUtils.replace(message, "@{" + entr.getKey()
                        + "}", entr.getValue());
            }
        }

Solution

The solution would be to add a gitTag(final String tagName, final String message, boolean gpgSignTag , Map<String, String> map) method and use the above code in the method.

Then in all tagging Mojos, the new method should be used.

I see no downside in this behaviour.

(this is my very first public issue ever so please help me if I'm done something wrong)

@Wavemaster111188 You can use maven ${project.version} in tag messages. It should work because when tagging is done the version in pom is not changed yet. Try it out.

@aleksandr-m
The ${project.version} resolves to the SNAPSHOT version of the current release (if I tag 1.2.3.4, it resolves to 1.2.3.4-SNAPSHOT)

For annotating tags, I need the released version, not the SNAPSHOT, therefore the issue.

[aleksandr-m]

@Wavemaster111188 Yes. I didn't change the branch so for me it was correct version. Done.

Awesome!
Thanks a lot.

@aleksandr-m thank you for releasing the new version! Can you share more about this @{version} property and how it can be used with this plugin? I looked for examples but didn't come across any except that it can be used as custom property in commit messages.

Wondering if I can use @{version} inside postReleaseGoals to set the release version instead of the snapshot version, something like -DcustomVersion=@{version}. If I use ${project.version} it uses the snapshot version.

@testphreak Currently no. Right now it can be used only in commit/tag messages. Planning to replace it with proper Maven property which can be used that way as you've described.
