This is an Atlassian Stash plugin that enforces commit message requirements. If a commit violates the configured policies, the push to the repository will be rejected.

Features:

• Fully configurable!
• Require commit committer name and email to match Stash user
• Require commit messages to match regex
• Require commit message to contain valid JIRA issue ids
• Issue JQL matcher to validate JIRA issue against. Require issues to be assigned, not closed, in a certain project, etc. The possibilities are endless!
• No extra JIRA configuration is required. Will use existing JIRA Application Link!
• Branch friendly! Only new commits are checked. Commits that already exist in the repository will be skipped.

1. Install YACC plugin into Stash
2. If you want to require valid JIRA issues, configure a JIRA Application Link in Stash
3. Configure YACC in the Hook Settings for a repository

####Require Matching Committer Email

If enabled, committer email must match the email of the Stash user.

####Require Matching Committer Name

If enabled, committer name must match the name of the Stash user.

####Commit Message Regex

If a regex is present, commit message must match regex.

Example,

[A-Z0-9\-]+: .*

will require commit message to be in the form of:

PROJ-123: added new feature xyz

####Require Valid JIRA Issue(s)

If enabled, commit messages must contain valid JIRA issue ids. JIRA issue ids are defined as any item that matches the regex [A-Z][A-Z_0-9]+-[0-9]+.

This check requires JIRA to be first linked with Stash using an Application Link. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Linking+Stash+with+JIRA.

Note: This may result in false positives if commit messages contains strings that look like JIRA issue, for example, "UTF-8". Enable Ignore Unknown JIRA Project Keys to tell YACC to ignore items that don't contain a valid JIRA Project key.

#####Locating Issues Using a Regex Group

If a regex group is present in the Commit Message Regex, only text contained within this group will be examined when extracting JIRA issues.

For example, a ([A-Z0-9\-]+): .* commit message regex will mean only PROJ-123 will be checked against JIRA in the following commit message:

PROJ-123: fixed bug involving UTF-8 support. I deserve a HIGH-5 for this fix!

UTF-8 and HIGH-5 will be ignored because they are not contained within the regex group. Using a regex group can be used as an alternative to Ignore Unknown JIRA Project Keys to deal with issue false positives, especially when you want to detect project key typos.

####Ignore Unknown JIRA Project Keys

If enabled, any issue-like items in commit messages that do not contain a valid JIRA project key (such as "UTF-8") will be ignored.

####Issue JQL Matcher

If JQL query is present, detected JIRA issues must match this query.

For example,

 assignee is not empty and status="in progress" and project=PROJ

will require that JIRA issues be assigned, in progess, and from project PROJ.

See JIRA Advanced Searching for documentation regarding writing and testing JQL queries.

####Exclude Merge Commits

If enabled, merge commits will be excluded from commit requirements.

####Exclude by Regex

If present, commits will be excluded from all requirements except matching committer email/name if part of the commit message matches this regex.

Example: ^Revert \"|#skipchecks

This can occur if Stash is configured to use OAuth to authenticate with JIRA and the currently logged in Stash user has not yet gone through the OAuth authorization process to allow Stash access to JIRA.

To initialize the OAuth tokens, go into the Stash UI and do something that requires access to JIRA. For example, view the commits for a repository and click on an linked JIRA issue for an existing commit. See the Stash JIRA Integration for an example of this.

There might be a better way to do this, but this what has worked for me :-)

Some useful development information:

Enabling YACC logging can be done using the Stash REST API. For example, see the following curl command which enables logging in the atlas-run development environment:

curl -u admin -v -X PUT -d "" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:7990/stash/rest/api/latest/logs/logger/com.isroot/debug

See README_ATLASSIAN.txt for the original Atlassian SDK README that contains some useful SDK commands.
