but resource doesn't manage to find greater that 5.9.0

The issue is that the git clone is done with single branch so it detect only tag on the specific branch. When we want to use branchs we should add a git fetch --tags.

This issue is fixed by the PR https://github.com/concourse/git-resource/pull/223

(commit https://github.com/concourse/git-resource/pull/223/commits/a10f862aeee0bb5f7da2b3b1a8f66ee676296c68)

@degano I think this is the problem we saw with the 3rd-party pipeline

I think this issues might be fixed by PR #225 that just got merged

I'm seeing similar behavior. Tags are present only on master branch that I'm pulling in the task, therefore this is not because wrong branch.

This is not the same issue. Here we are using tag_filter. This issue should have been fixed with https://github.com/concourse/git-resource/blob/master/assets/check#L40-L42

@MikeC-BC could you give us more context ? Concourse version ? Are you using the embedded git resource or the latest one ? Could you provide the pipeline code used of the git resource ?
