Jenkins + Git + Artifactory Release Staging

Question

I'm trying out Jenkins release staging functionality with the Artifactory plugin:

Here is a summary of what is happening. Everything is correct except for the error on the last item:

• Changes the version in gradle.properties from 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT to 1.0.1
• Builds successfully.
• Deploys artifacts to a local artifactory server
• Creates a git release branch 'REL-BRANCH-1.0.1c'
• Commits the version change in gradle.properties. Pushes it to git server.
• Then Jenkins errors on git checkout master.

This same command works fine on a local clone of the git repo. 'master' is the correct name of the normal dev branch on this test project. I can't imagine why this wouldn't work.

FYI, this is a test project using temporary servers running on my development laptop.

Here is the Jenkins console output:

Answer 1

Enable verbose logging using set ANT_ARGS=-d

Then you should be able to understand the directory in which it tries the checkout operation. Goto that directory and see if the repository is cloned there ?
