GitVersion automatically increases the minor version regardless of the branch configuration

[syamrag]

I am using gitversion 5.6.9 and I am on Ubuntu 16.04.1. I am following gitflow work flow and I have created a hotfix branch from master branch. I set the increment for hotfix branch to "Patch" and mode to "ContinuousDelivery". When ever I make any commits on hotfix branch the gitversion automatically increases the minor version regardless of the branch configuration I given.

Master - 1.0.0

hotfix - 1.0.0

Once I make any commit on hotfix the gitversion becomes 1.1.0 instead of 1.0.1.

This seems to completely contradict #2454?

[syamrag]

Yes, I think so. I also tried to set the increment to "Major" and "None" and regardless of the configuration gitversion still increment the minor portion.

[asbjornu]

Can you please just try to delete GitVersion.yml and tell me how it behaves then?

Quick update on this. I was able to solve the problem. When I changed the hot fix branch form "hotfix" to "hotfix/fix" it works as expected. So, I think the problem is with regular expression pattern I used to match the hotfix branch. You can close this issue and Thanks for your help.
