The `git config -l` command stopped working after upgrading to Bitbucket 8 #138

gnustavo · 2023-08-21T01:02:02Z

I'm using External Hooks version 13.1.1 on Bitbucket Data Center, running in a container based on the atlassian/bitbucket:7.21.4 Docker image.

I upgraded Bitbucket, recreating the container based on the atlassian/bitbucket:8.9.4 image. After the upgrade, my external hooks stopped working.

I investigated and noticed that the external hook scripts are being invoked in an environment in which the command git config -l does not find the repository's configuration.

I made the hook script output its environment variables and current directory both before the upgrade and after it.

Before the upgrade, the hook script is invoked in the /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/shared/data/repositories/2295 directory with the following environment variables (I replaced some sensitive parts with xxxxxxxx):

The command git config -l invoked by the external hook script returns just three lines:

core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=true

Since the script is being invoked from a different directory, perhaps the GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY is missing.

I read the documentation but couldn't find anything related to this problem.

Can you help me figure this out?

Thanks!

As a workaround, I'm setting the GIT_DIR environment variable in the beginning of the hook script with code equivalent to the following shell script:

GIT_DIR=$(dirname $(dirname $(dirname $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES)))
export GIT_DIR

gnustavo · 2023-08-26T01:35:37Z

The workaround works in the pre-receive hook. But the post-receive hook runs without any GIT_* environment variable. There is no environment variable from which I can infer the path to the repository.

I came up with the simplest set up I can think of that should allow one to reproduce the problem using the latest atlassian/bitbucket Docker image, which is tagged 8.13 today.

Just to make sure that the problem had nothing to do with my particular environment, I created a new container like this:

$ docker volume create --name bitbucketVolume
$ docker run -v bitbucketVolume:/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket --name="bitbucket" -d -p 7990:7990 -p 7999:7999 atlassian/bitbucket:8.13

Then, I installed the External Hooks plugin, created a new repository, enabled the plugin in it and installed a hook like this:

$ docker exec -it -u bitbucket bitbucket bash
bitbucket@2b947c62ada2:~$ mkdir shared/external-hooks
bitbucket@2b947c62ada2:~$ cat >shared/external-hooks/pre-receive <<EOF
#!/bin/bash -x

date
echo
pwd
echo
env | sort
echo
ls -la
echo
git config -l --show-origin
exit 1
EOF
bitbucket@2b947c62ada2:~$ chmod +x shared/external-hooks/pre-receive

Then, I git-cloned the repository, created a commit and tried to git-push it. This is the result:

$ git:(master) git push

Notice how the command git commit -l returns just three lines. This is different from what it should return if it was invoked in the repository's own bare clone:

I was able to infer the path to the repository using the environment variables BB_PROJECT_KEY and BB_REPO_SLUG, which are always set, as parameters to a REST API call, like this:

repo_id=$(curl -s -f -n \
               -H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
               http://localhost:7990/rest/api/1.0/projects/"${BB_PROJECT_KEY:?}"/repos/"${BB_REPO_SLUG:?}" \
              | jq .id)

export GIR_DIR=${BITBUCKET_HOME:?}/shared/data/repositories/${repo_id}

This way I can always set the GIT_DIR environment variable before using Git.

This seems to be a general workaround, so far.
