Want to enforce git repository commit of files before publishing them [message #1751610] Wed, 11 January 2017 21:10 Go to next message

Hi,

I am developing an eclipse plugin for publishing some source files to a server. Before the source files are published I want to ensure/enforce that the source files are committed to remote git repository, so that if the user forgets to do so the system enforces it.

Assuming I have Egit installed on my eclipse instance, how do I go about doing this from my plugin?

Thanks for any pointers.

I think you need an up-to-date clone of the repository, then you can use JGit
to check if a blob matching the file's content hash can be found in the cloned repository

calculate SHA1 of file content:
- use Constants.newMessageDigest() to get a MessageDigest md
- open a buffered FileInputStream for the source file
- wrap this stream with a DigestInputStream and setMessageDigest(md)
- when file is completely read, close the stream and compute ObjectId for file content: ObjectId.fromRaw(md.digest())

- use CloneCommand to clone the repository (if already cloned run FetchCommand to ensure the clone is in sync with the server-side repo)
- try to load the blob object matching the file's content hash:
Repository.open(objectId, Constants.OBJ_BLOB)
if the object exists in the repository you'll get an ObjectLoader otherwise a MissingObjectException will be thrown
- if you need to do this for many files first get an ObjectReader (Repository.newObjectReader()) and then try to open the object
ObjectReader.open(objectId, Constants.OBJ_BLOB)

If the project where the user is modifying files is already under EGit control then you can leave all the working of computing sha1's to JGit' status command. Git. Git.status().call().isClean() would tell you if there are files the user has "forgot" to commit.
If this is a project which is potentially not yet under EGit control then you would have to go the hard way as Matthias describes.


Ciao

Thank you veru much for your response. I am able to do as you suggested however the SHA sum I get does not match the git one and so even though file has not changed the SHA sum do not match

This is the git reported hssh

$ git hash-object Rules.drl
87f63341793023cbcfdf9f9d90ff3fbebb7357f1

This is the code reported hash:

//46b61130d0d195afa9d14e063eca0e2526ff5364

Per sample code code in:

https://github.com/eclipse/jgit/blob/57a263f1823d164142235a72072154f0568cb61c/org.eclipse.jgit.test/tst/org/eclipse/jgit/treewalk/FileTreeIteratorTest.java

and per directions in:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/460297/git-finding-the-sha1-of-an-individual-file-in-the-index

I form the hash as follows:

public ObjectId hash(String content)
throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
MessageDigest md = Constants.newMessageDigest();

md.update(Constants.encodeASCII(Constants.TYPE_BLOB));
md.update((byte) ' ');
md.update(Constants.encodeASCII(content.length()));
md.update((byte) 0);
md.update(Constants.encode(content));

return ObjectId.fromRaw(md.digest());
}

Is there something wrong with what I am doing?

Update. My egit was not set up properly, hence the issue with hash mismatch. Both approaches work fine. Thanks!!
