How to have diffs relative to previous tag?

[raulgotor]

Hello,

I want to have the diffs of the schematic relative to the latest tag in git. Using the example .yaml file:

- name: basic_diff_sch
  comment: Schematic diff between the last two changes
  type: diff
  dir: diff
  options:
      old: KIBOT_LAST-1
      old_type: git
      new: HEAD
      new_type: git
      cache_dir: /kikit/.cache
      add_link_id: true
      pcb: false

I though of having something like old: @TAG@ and when calling kibot from the command line, using -g TAG=$(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags git rev-list --tags --skip=1 --max-count=1), but sadly@TAG@ seems not to be replaced. Is there any solution available for this?

By the way, what a great software you guys created. Many thanks!

Hi @raulgotor !
The option you are looking for is -E, not -g. And you can replace @TAG@ using -E. Note this option is new and needs code from git (i.e. a dev docker image).
BTW: a new KIBOT_* variable sounds like a good idea for this case.

BTW: Now KIBOT_TAG-n does what you want (git rev-list --tags --skip=n --max-count=1)

Hi @set-soft , thanks for your quick reply!

Yeah, I read it at the documentation, but wasn't working since is not released (now I know why ;) )

Thanks, now I see it was on the documentation but somehow I missed it. It seems to be exactly what I need. Still, if I use KIBOT_TAG - 1 on 1.3.0, I get the following error:

ERROR:Running ['/usr/bin/git', 'checkout', '--recurse-submodules', 'KIBOT_TAG-1'] returned 1 (kibot - kiplot.py:154)

Is this only available under development branch?

Yes, you need to use the dev images or the code from git.

Great, thanks!

Note that KIBOT_TAG-n did not actually work as expected for any value of n that was not 0. This should be fixed in 1.6.3 when it is released (see #430).
