Starting from Bitbucket 7.0+ internal references on repositories aren't generated or updated as often as they weIre in previous versions.
The issue is reported here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-12284
As a result, CI tools which use refs/pull-requests/*/from - the references might not be available and fail the build. This can be resolved by calling an API or viewing the diff of a pull-request.
With this plugin, when a pull-request is opened or the source branch of the pull-request on the repository is changed then it will call the SDK. to get the effectiveDiff of the pull-request. As a result of this, the internal ref is updated and can be used.
Tested on Bitbucket 6.8.2 & 7.1.2
Do the refs get updated before a build is started/triggered?
During the plugin development & a variety of different tests, it was not possible to reproduce a situation where the refs/pull-requests/*/from were still out-of-date when a build got triggered.
It also inferred from the comments on BSERV-12284 that the behaviour this plugin does is similar to that of Bitbucket 6, where a ref update would have been triggered on pull-request open or source branch change and a webhook would have fired regardless of whether the internal ref had updated or not.
We have been running this plugin on our Bitbucket 7.1 production environment which has 1000's of pull-requests triggered daily. We have yet to have a report about the from refs being out-of-date when a build has started.
In short, this plugin does not guarantee that the refs will be up-to-date before the build is triggered, but we've yet to have seen a case where it hasn't.
