Plugin Modules

Pre-receive Hook Plugin Module

Deprecated in 5.0

The pre-receive module type has been deprecated in Bitbucket Server 5.0 and will be removed in 6.0. Please use the repository-hook module type instead. More details can be found in the Repository Hooks and Merge Checks Guide

Introduction

Pre-receive hooks are used to potentially block pushes to Bitbucket Server. An example might be to stop deletion of branches or restrict force-pushes to personal branches.

Note This hook module is enabled across all repositories. Please see the guide on creating repository hooks.

Configuration

Attributes

Name	Required	Description	Default
key	Yes	The identifier of the plugin module. This key must be unique within the plugin where it is defined.	N/A
class	Yes	The fully qualified Java class name of the hook. This class must implement `com.atlassian.bitbucket.hook.PreReceiveHook`.	N/A
name		The human-readable name of the plugin module. I.e. the human-readable name of the hook.	N/A
weight		The (integer) weight of the plugin module. Hooks with a higher weight will be processed later. It should almost never be necessary to set this. Your hook implementation should not rely on a particular order for it to function correctly as the absolute ordering also depends on the weight set on other hooks.	1000

Elements

Name	Required	Description	Default
description		The description of the plugin module. The 'key' attribute can be specified to declare a localisation key for the value instead of text in the element body. I.e. the description of the servlet.	N/A

Example

Here is an example atlassian-plugin.xml file containing a single merge check:

<atlassian-plugin name="My Merge Request Check" key="example.plugin.preceive" plugins-version="2">
    <plugin-info>
        <description>A basic component import module test</description>
        <vendor name="My Company" url="http://www.mycompany.com"/>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </plugin-info>

    <pre-receive-hook key="myPreReceiveHook" name="Show some example" class="com.mycompany.example.plugin.myhook.MyPreReceiveHook">
        <description>A pre-receive hook example that disables deleting of branches</description>
    </pre-receive-hook>
</atlassian-plugin>

And the corresponding hook:

package com.mycompany.example.plugin.myhook;

import com.atlassian.bitbucket.hook.HookResponse;
import com.atlassian.bitbucket.hook.PreReceiveHook;
import com.atlassian.bitbucket.repository.RefChange;
import com.atlassian.bitbucket.repository.RefChangeType;

public class MyPreReceiveHook implements PreReceiveHook {

    /**
     * Disables deletion of all branches.
     */
    @Override
    public boolean onReceive(Repository repository, Collection<RefChange> refChanges, HookResponse hookResponse) {
        for (RefChange refChange : refChanges) {
            if (refChange.getType() == RefChangeType.DELETE) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}
