I am trying to call a shell script that sets a bunch of environment variables on our server from a mercurial hook. The shell script gets called fine when a new changegroup comes in, but the environment variables aren't carrying over past the call to the shell script. My hgrc file on the respository looks like this: [hooks] changegroup...
This should be a very simple thing to have run, but for some reason it won't work with my Mercurial repository. All I want is for the remote repo to automatically run hg update whenever someone pushes to it. So I have this in my .hg/hgrc file: [hook] changegroup = hg update Simple, right? But for some reason, this never executes. I al...
I've started using Mercurial for version-controlling my Drupal project source files (I'm both a VCS and Mercurial newbie). However, the database is still "version-controlled" using a directory of dated .sql.gz files. What I want is to have a single database dump file somewhere within my repository, that would be overwritten with a curre...
I'm looking to create a Mercurial hook that pushes to a backup remote repository when I push to a local repository. I thought I could hook the 'outgoing' hook, but this creates a infinite loop that isn't pretty. So is there like a post-push hook, or would it be best to have the repository I am pushing to have an 'incoming' hook to push...
I want to have a Mercurial hook that will run before committing a transaction that will abort the transaction if a binary file being committed is greater than 1 megabyte. I found the following code which works fine except for one problem. If my changeset involves removing a file, this hook will throw an exception. The hook (I'm using ...
I'm trying to get a Mercurial in-process hook to run on Windows. The problem is not how to write the hook (I want to use an existing one, in this case BugTracker.Net's hook for Mercurial integration - I didn't find a direct link to the file, but you can see it if you download BT.net here, it's in the "mercurial" subfolder). The problem i...
I want a mercurial hook that will run JSLint/PyChecker/etc on all files that are modified. However, I do not have control over all hg clients, and want this to run on push to the master repository (which I have control), so a pretxnchangegroup hook on the master seems best. How can I get a list of all changesets that are in the changegr...
What are the relative pros and cons for using hooks vs. using an extension that wraps a command for a particular task? In other words, what are the criteria for deciding whether to use hooks or wrap a command? Please also list the cases where one approach is the only option. One case I can think of is to add new arguments for existing ...
I have a hook function named precommit_bad_branch which imports hook_utils. When invoking precommit_bad_branch via a commit I get the following error message: error: precommit.branch_check hook raised an exception: No module named hook_utils abort: No module named hook_utils! It looks like I'm not allowed to call hook_utils from preco...
