Conditions

ScriptRunner allows global administrators to apply hooks, merge checks, and listeners. You can either write your own hooks and handlers in groovy, or use the provided content. Most of these can be used in conjunction with conditions, which will give you high level of flexibility, and control.

You can apply the hooks to all repositories, or just particular repositories or projects.

Conditions

Most content (hooks, merge checks, listeners) has a condition option. Typically you will combine a condition with the built-in content, for example mail out only when a branch that matches a regex is created.

Click the Expand examples link under the Condition field to display a list of examples.

Clicking any of these will overwrite the current condition with the sample code. You will probably need to modify any string literals, such as references to project keys or groups. The result of the last line of any groovy script is returned as the result of the condition, but feel free to use the return keyword to make it clearer.

Take as an example a contrived scenario - you want to prevent creation of tags in all publicly accessible repositories. Start with the condition that matches creation of tags:

Now test the condition for publicly accessible projects:

Given that they both work, we can combine the two like so:

Condition Methods

There are a couple of methods that can be used in conditions which simplify writing conditions. They can be used either as though they were global functions, in which case they operate on whatever is in the binding, or as if they were methods of e.g. PullRequest. They are:

pathsMatch

 
boolean pathsMatch(String syntaxAndPattern)

This will return true if the push, pull request, or merge check etc contains changes in the specific path. The syntaxAndPattern argument has two possible forms: glob and regex.

The glob method takes ant globs (an Ant-style path matching method), for instance the following matches a push that contains java files in the directory some/path.

 
refChanges.pathsMatch("glob:some/path/**.java")

In a merge request, this will return true if any of the files modified are under ssh/keys:

 
mergeRequest.pullRequest.pathsMatch("glob:ssh/keys/**")

pathsMatch (against commits for pull requests)

 
boolean pathsMatch(String syntaxAndPattern, Iterable<Commit> commits)

This is the same as pathsMatch except that it will match against the supplied commits for a pull request rather than changes in the diff. This can be useful when preventing sensitive files from being merged if they exist in the commit history of the pull request using merge checks.

A commit is an Atlassian commit.

In a merge request, this will return true if any of the files modified are under ssh/keys:

 
def pullRequest = mergeRequest.pullRequest
mergeRequest.pullRequest.pathsMatch("glob:ssh/keys/**", pullRequest.getCommits())

If using an event handler condition you should use:

 
def pullRequest = event.pullRequest
pullRequest.pathsMatch("glob:ssh/keys/**", pullRequest.getCommits())

pathsMatch - collecting all changes that match a path (against ref changes only)

 
boolean pathsMatch(String syntaxAndPattern, Closure matchingChangesCollector)

This is the same as pathsMatch except that you now can collect the changes that match the specific path. After this you can perform some logic based on these changes. You need to pass in a matchingChangesCollector closure to pathsMatch that contains the logic you require.

For example using them to generate a hook error message to show users specifically what changes and paths were blocked in a push using the protect git references hook.

Rather than appending to the hook error message you could also log the matched changes by using the following collector:

pathsMatchExcludingDeletes

 
boolean pathsMatchExcludingDeletes(String syntaxAndPattern)

Same as pathsMatch, except it will ignore deleted files. This can be useful when blocking certain file names using protect git refs, or via merge checks.

pathsMatchExcludingDeletes (against commits for pull requests)

 
boolean pathsMatchExcludingDeletes(String syntaxAndPattern, Iterable<Commit> commits)

Same as pathsMatch (against commits for pull requests), except it will ignore deleted files in the supplied commits for the pull request. This can be useful when preventing sensitive files from being merged if they exist in the commit history of the pull request using merge checks.

pathsMatchExcludingDeletes - collecting all changes that match a path (against ref changes only)

 
boolean pathsMatchExcludingDeletes(String syntaxAndPattern, Closure matchingChangesCollector)

Same as pathsMatch (collecting all changes that match a path), except it will ignore deleted files. This can be useful when blocking certain file names using protect git refs, or via merge checks.

pathsMatcher

Same as pathsMatch and pathsMatchExcludingDeletes, except it is more expressive about what changes are being excluded.

The exclusions are:

• files that have been deleted

• files that are already tracked by Git LFS

The example below shows how you can adapt your condition to use this.

Line 3: use pathsMatcher which is provided by the condition in the binding

Line 4: optionally exclude deletes so we get the same behavior as pathsMatchExcludingDeletes

Line 5: optionally exclude any files already tracked by Git LFS

Line 6: optionally specify a matchingChangesCollector if we have a self-diagnosing condition (the provided example above does nothing)

Line 7: specify our pattern to match on (in this case any file with a jar extension)

If you want to be explicit about what your including as well, there are methods available on pathsMatcher to perform inclusions. For example below we can include both deletes and LFS file changes.

getCommitAuthors

Similarly, you can get the commit authors for all changes in a pull request or a push using this:

 
Set<Person> getCommitAuthors()

For example, in an event handler where you are listening for an event related to pull requests:

 
event.getCommitAuthors()

This will return a java.util.Set of Person objects.
