Laravel Package that listens to GitHub webhook events and responds by creating Statuses in GitHub

Laravel 5.6

Tag 1.0+ is intended for use with Laravel 5.6

Installation

Install Package via Composer

Publish the Package Config

Configure the Checks to be performed on your repository by editing %storage%/app/githubwebhooks-config.yaml

Set name to your github repository

The name of the repository must match the repo.full_name in the payload sent by the GitHub Webhook in order to activate the Check(s).

Set token to a Personal access token which was generated by you in GitHub. See: https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line Token needs: repo (If your Repository is Private) repo > public_repo (If your Repository is Public)

Warning

Do not commit githubwebhooks-config.yaml to your SVN. It contains sensative information

Repositories

As many repository items can be added to the Repositories sequence as is desired.

The repositories sequence will be queried to build a set of Repositories which the PullRequest matches. Either the name must match exactly OR a wildcard can be used.

Example: Given PullRequest.repo.full_name = "willwright/githubwebhooks".

respository.name = "willwright/githubwebhooks" will match

respository.name = "*" will match

respository.name = "notmy/repo" will not match

Check Types

Checks are the Class that actually do work. Each must extend \MeCodeNinja\GitHubWebhooks\Check\CheckAbstract. Checks are made available for use to the Factory via config/githubwebhooks.php.

This package comes with:

• \MeCodeNinja\GitHubWebhooks\Check\BranchCheck
• \MeCodeNinja\GitHubWebhooks\Check\PathCheck

The Key used in the repository configuration can be found from config/githubwebhooks.php. They are:

• BranchCheck
• PathCheck

BranchCheck

Branch request is designed to ensure that feature branch has not been forked from a particular branch and has not had a particular branch merged into it.

Many teams follow the Git Branching strtegy in which all feature branches must be forked from master and if develop were to be merged in this would spoil the branch from being merged back into master.

Branch check takes an array of strings. The Pull Request branch will be checked to verify it has not been forked from the branch in question. The Pull Request branch will be checked to make sure that it has not had the branch in question merged into it.

Note that due to Git's commit and branchng internal architecture determining whether a branch has had another branch merged into it or not is not an exact science and this check is prone to false positives.

Example

The example will result in the Pull Request branch being checked for orign/develop

PathCheck

PathCheck is designed to ensure that a specific path has not been modified in a feature branch.

Many modern applciations are built from frameworks or groups of modules. Best practice is to extend the libraries to create a unique functionality not to modify the libraries themselves.

Path check takes an array of regular expression patterns. It will check the collection of changed files in the Pull Request for a match. If a match it found then the check will report a failure.

Example

The example will check the collection of changed paths in the Pull Request for /vendor. If found the check will report a failure.

Extending

The developer may have their own checks that they want to perform. In order to create a new type of check the developer should

1. Create a new Check Class which extends \MeCodeNinja\GitHubWebhooks\Check\CheckAbstract
2. Implement the methods required by the interface
3. Register your Class in the checks array of config/githubwebhooks.php
