[Trac] SVN Pre-Commit Hook to ensure Trac ID in Comment

[Marjory L. Mackes]

 Hi Trac/SVN Users!

 

I am using Trac 0.11.0 and our group recently added a couple of new projects. 

 

Right now we have one Subversion with directories for each project

Project

     branches

     tags

     trunk

 

We have 3 Trac (I want to say instances) that are sharing the authentication file

 

My question revolves around the /apps/trac/var/svn/hooks/pre-commit.pl hook which requires

the user to enter the Trac ID number to check in the source to associate the change set with the ticket.

 

Originally when it was just one project, one trac this worked fine, but now I need to customize this to be sure I point to the correct repository ($repos).  It is just not clear to me what that value is that is passed in from trac so that I can create the if construct to handle it.   I already figured out the part that points to SQLDB

 

If $repos = Project A then use the path to Project A Trac

  elseif Project B then use the path to Project B Trac

  elseif Project C then use the path to Project C Trac.

 

I do understand that version 0.12.0 is in beta test and is supposed to handle multiple projects.

 

The workflow works with the exception of this check in.

 

Right now it lets me get around it for all projects by using either CM,comment or Maint,comment for the check in comment since that is generic

 

Thanks!

One thing that you can do is use 'svn look' to look at the paths being committed.  You can use that to figure out which Trac project is the relevant one.  

Depending on your requirements,  you could either return a list of which Trac projects are being used to commit against,  or if each commit needs to be tied to just one Trac project,  then you can block commits that try to update files that belong to different Trac projects.  You'd get the Trac project from the first path in the commit,  then raise an error if any additional paths did not belong to the same project.
