Unable to release from develop to master #331
Description
We have a very simple "mock" gitflow project we're attempting to prove out with this plugin via Jenkins and Bitbucket. When we run a release build via Jenkins, it calls:
withMaven(maven: 'Maven_3.6.0') {
echo 'Publishing release artifact...'
sh 'mvn -B gitflow:release'
}Our pom.xml file has:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.amashchenko.maven.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>gitflow-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.17.0</version>
<configuration>
<gitFlowConfig>
<versionTagPrefix>v</versionTagPrefix>
</gitFlowConfig>
<verbose>true</verbose>
<releaseMergeFFOnly>true</releaseMergeFFOnly>
</configuration>
</plugin>We create a merge request from develop to master which triggers the release build. For some reason, the plugin errors with a fairly vague message:

It is difficult to understand what "some problems" means and we already have verbose set to true. Any advice on what may be wrong with this setup? We absolutely have an origin/develop branch since this is the source of the PR:
