Introduction

These scripts are to be used with Atlassian Bitbucket Server to restrict commits by the contents of the commit logs.

Bitbucket Server as of version 5.0.1 only supports pre-receive and post-receive hooks via its web UI. Neither of those git hooks has access to the commit log messages. Only the update hook can process it.

Files

update

The git update hook

validate-issue.js

A node.js commit log validation script.
It checks commit log format, JIRA issue assignee, and JIRA issue status.
Requires 'jsmin' module to be installed.

validate-issue.conf

A configuration template file for the validate-issue.js script.
The file format is JSON (with comments) and the contents are self-documented.
This file must reside in the same directory with the validate-issue.js script.

System prerequisites

This project assumes that you have the following components installed on your server:

1. Atlassian Bitbucket Server version 5.0.1 or newer (although should work for older versions as well)
2. node.js framework with node executable. On Linux that requires installation of nodejs-legacy package. On Windows it is sufficient to install the generic node.js package from http://nodejs.org
3. Atlassian JIRA (may reside on another host, but should be accessible via network)

It is also recommended to have a special service account enabled in JIRA. The account should have a read-only access to all projects. Use that account in validate-issue.conf.

Installing for a single repository

The scripts must be installed in the repository's directory inside Bitbucket Server:

1. Go to Bitbucket home, e.g. on Windows that may be C:\Atlassian\ApplicationData\Bitbucket
2. Go to shared/data/repositories and identify which of the numbered directories there contain your repository. You can use git log inside those directories to do that.
3. Go to the hooks dir of your repository's directory, e.g. 13/hooks
4. Put the files of this project listed above into that directory
5. Run npm install jsmin to install the jsmin module required for validate-issue.js
6. Edit validate-issue.conf to reflect your network and account configuration

Installing as a template

In order for these hooks to be installed automatically for each new repository, take the same steps as for single repository installation, but put instead of steps 2 and 3, go directly to the hook templates directory shared/config/git/templates/hooks.
