NAME

Git::Hooks::CheckJira - Git::Hooks plugin which requires citation of JIRA issues in commit messages.

VERSION

version 0.046

DESCRIPTION

This Git::Hooks plugin hooks itself to the hooks below to guarantee that every commit message cites at least one valid JIRA issue key in its log message, so that you can be certain that every change has a proper change request (a.k.a. ticket) open.

  • commit-msg

    This hook is invoked during the commit, to check if the commit message cites valid JIRA issues.

  • update

    This hook is invoked multiple times in the remote repository during git push, once per branch being updated, to check if the commit message cites valid JIRA issues.

  • pre-receive

    This hook is invoked once in the remote repository during git push, to check if the commit message cites valid JIRA issues.

  • ref-update

    This hook is invoked when a push request is received by Gerrit Code Review, to check if the commit message cites valid JIRA issues.

  • patchset-created

    This hook is invoked when a push request is received by Gerrit Code Review for a virtual branch (refs/for/*), to check if the commit message cites valid JIRA issues.

It requires that any Git commits affecting all or some branches must make reference to valid JIRA issues in the commit log message. JIRA issues are cited by their keys which, by default, consist of a sequence of uppercase letters separated by an hyphen from a sequence of digits. E.g., CDS-123, RT-1, and GIT-97.

To enable it you should add it to the githooks.plugin configuration option:

git config --add githooks.plugin CheckJira

NAME

CheckJira - Git::Hooks plugin which requires citation of JIRA issues in commit messages.

CONFIGURATION

The plugin is configured by the following git options.

githooks.checkjira.ref REFSPEC

By default, the message of every commit is checked. If you want to have them checked only for some refs (usually some branch under refs/heads/), you may specify them with one or more instances of this option.

The refs can be specified as a complete ref name (e.g. "refs/heads/master") or by a regular expression starting with a caret (^), which is kept as part of the regexp (e.g. "^refs/heads/(master|fix)").

githooks.checkjira.userenv STRING

This variable is deprecated. Please, use the githooks.userenv variable, which is defined in the Git::Hooks module. Please, see its documentation to understand it.

githooks.checkjira.admin USERSPEC

This variable is deprecated. Please, use the githooks.admin variable, which is defined in the Git::Hooks module. Please, see its documentation to understand it.

githooks.checkjira.jiraurl URL

This option specifies the JIRA server HTTP URL, used to construct the JIRA::Client object which is used to interact with your JIRA server. Please, see the JIRA::Client documentation to know about them.

githooks.checkjira.jirauser USERNAME

This option specifies the JIRA server username, used to construct the JIRA::Client object.

githooks.checkjira.jirapass PASSWORD

This option specifies the JIRA server password, used to construct the JIRA::Client object.

githooks.checkjira.matchkey REGEXP

By default, JIRA keys are matched with the regex /\b[A-Z][A-Z]+-\d+\b/, meaning, a sequence of two or more capital letters, followed by an hyphen, followed by a sequence of digits. If you customized your JIRA project keys, you may need to customize how this hook is going to match them. Set this option to a suitable regex to match a complete JIRA issue key.

githooks.checkjira.matchlog REGEXP

By default, JIRA keys are looked for in all of the commit message. However, this can lead to some false positives, since the default issue pattern can match other things besides JIRA issue keys. You may use this option to restrict the places inside the commit message where the keys are going to be looked for.

Here are some examples:

  • \[([^]]+)\]

    Looks for JIRA keys inside the first pair of brackets found in the message.

  • (?s)^\[([^]]+)\]

    Looks for JIRA keys inside a pair of brackets that must be at the beginning of the message's title.

  • (?im)^Bug:(.*)

    Looks for JIRA keys in a line beginning with Bug:. This is a common convention around some high caliber projects, such as OpenStack and Wikimedia.

This is a multi-valued option. You may specify it more than once. All regexes are tried and JIRA keys are looked for in all of them. This allows you to more easily accomodate more than one way of specifying JIRA keys if you wish.

githooks.checkjira.project STRING

By default, the committer can reference any JIRA issue in the commit log. You can restrict the allowed keys to a set of JIRA projects by specifying a JIRA project key to this option. You can enable more than one project by specifying more than one value to this option.

githooks.checkjira.require [01]

By default, the log must reference at least one JIRA issue. You can make the reference optional by setting this option to 0.

githooks.checkjira.unresolved [01]

By default, every issue referenced must be unresolved, i.e., it must not have a resolution. You can relax this requirement by setting this option to 0.

githooks.checkjira.by-assignee [01]

By default, the committer can reference any valid JIRA issue. Setting this value 1 requires that the user doing the push/commit (as specified by the userenv configuration variable) be the current issue's assignee.

githooks.checkjira.check-code CODESPEC

If the above checks aren't enough you can use this option to define a custom code to check your commits. The code may be specified directly as the option's value or you may specify it indirectly via the filename of a script. If the option's value starts with "file:", the remaining is treated as the script filename, which is executed by a do command. Otherwise, the option's value is executed directly by an eval. Either way, the code must end with the definition of a routine, which will be called once for each commit with the following arguments:

  • GIT

    The Git repository object used to grok information about the commit.

  • COMMITID

    The SHA-1 id of the Git commit. It is undef in the commit-msg hook, because there is no commit yet.

  • JIRA

    The JIRA::Client object used to talk to the JIRA server.

  • ISSUES...

    The remaining arguments are RemoteIssue objects representing the issues being cited by the commit's message.

The subroutine should return a boolean value indicating success. Any errors should be produced by invoking the Git::More::error method.

If the subroutine returns undef it's considered to have succeeded.

If it raises an exception (e.g., by invoking die) it's considered to have failed and a proper message is produced to the user.

EXPORTS

This module exports two routines that can be used directly without using all of Git::Hooks infrastructure.

check_affected_refs GIT

This is the routine used to implement the update and the pre-receive hooks. It needs a Git::More object.

check_message_file GIT, MSGFILE

This is the routine used to implement the commit-msg hook. It needs a Git::More object and the name of a file containing the commit message.

check_patchset GIT, HASH

This is the routine used to implement the patchset-created Gerrit hook. It needs a Git::More object and the hash containing the arguments passed to the hook by Gerrit.
