How do I grab the freights underlying Commit datetime metadata?

[danijam]

Within a promotion task we need to reference the freights commit datetime. I've not found a way to get this metadata context.

I was hoping it would be available within GitCommit returned by the expression function commitFrom (https://docs.kargo.io/user-guide/reference-docs/expressions/#commitfromrepourl-freightorigin).

Before I raise an issue to suggest and track adding this metadata field. Is there a way of acheiving this that I've not discovered? Thanks!

commitFrom resource an actual instance of the actual GitCommit type from the Kargo v1alpa1 API.

At present, that does not record the particular metadata you are looking for:

kargo/api/v1alpha1/freight_types.go

Lines 51 to 70 in 02f1bc5

	// GitCommit describes a specific commit from a specific Git repository.
	type GitCommit struct {
	// RepoURL is the URL of a Git repository.
	RepoURL string `json:"repoURL,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=repoURL"`
	// ID is the ID of a specific commit in the Git repository specified by
	// RepoURL.
	ID string `json:"id,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,2,opt,name=id"`
	// Branch denotes the branch of the repository where this commit was found.
	Branch string `json:"branch,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,3,opt,name=branch"`
	// Tag denotes a tag in the repository that matched selection criteria and
	// resolved to this commit.
	Tag string `json:"tag,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,4,opt,name=tag"`
	// Message is the message associated with the commit. At present, this only
	// contains the first line (subject) of the commit message.
	Message string `json:"message,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,6,opt,name=message"`
	// Author is the author of the commit.
	Author string `json:"author,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,7,opt,name=author"`
	// Committer is the person who committed the commit.
	Committer string `json:"committer,omitempty" protobuf:"bytes,8,opt,name=committer"`
	}

Thanks @krancour for helping confirm the current behaviour
