Name

SVN::Notify - Subversion activity notification

Synopsis

Use svnnotify in post-commit:

  svnnotify --repos-path "$1" --revision "$2" \
    --to developers@example.com [options]

  svnnotify --repos-path "$1" --revision "$2" \
    --to-cx-regex i10n@example.com=I10N [options]

Use the class in a custom script:

  use SVN::Notify;

  my $notifier = SVN::Notify->new(%params);
  $notifier->prepare;
  $notifier->execute;

Description

This class may be used for sending email messages for Subversion repository activity. There are a number of different modes supported, and SVN::Notify is fully subclassable to easily add new functionality. By default, A list of all the files affected by the commit will be assembled and listed in a single message. An additional option allows diffs to be calculated for the changes and either appended to the message or added as an attachment. See the with_diff and attach_diff options below.

Usage

To use SVN::Notify, simply add a call to svnnotify to your Subversion repository's post-commit script. This script lives at the root of the repository directory; consult the documentation in post-commit.tmpl for details. Make sure that you specify the complete path to svnnotify, as well as to svnlook and sendmail in the options passed to svnnotify so that everything executes properly.

Windows Usage

Go get SVN::Notify to work properly in a post-commit script, you must set the following environment variables, as they will likley not be present inside Apache:

PATH=C:\perl\bin
OS=Windows_NT
SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS

See http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-05/0593.shtml for more detailed information on getting SVN::NOtify running on Windows.

Class Interface

Constructor

new

  my $notifier = SVN::Notify->new(%params);

Constructs and returns a new SVN::Notify object. This object is a handle on the whole process of collecting metadata and content for the commit email and then sending it. As such, it takes a number of parameters to affect that process.

Each of these parameters has a corresponding command-line option that can be passed to svnnotify. The options have the same names as these parameters, but any underscores you see here should be replaced with dashes when passed to svnnotify. Each also has a corresponding single-character option. All of these are documented here.

Supported parameters:

repos_path
  svnnotify --repos-path "$PATH"
  svnnotify -p "$PATH"

The path to the Subversion repository. The path is passed as the first argument when Subversion executes post-commit. So you can simply pass $1 to this parameter if you like. See the documentation in post-commit for details. Required.

revision
  svnnotify --revision "$REV"
  svnnotify -r "$REV"

The revision number for the current commit. The revision number is passed as the second argument when Subversion executes post-commit. So you can simply pass $2 to this parameter if you like. See the documentation in post-commit for details. Required.

to
  svnnotify --to commiters@example.com
  svnnotify -t commiters@example.com --to managers@example.com

The address or addresses to which to send the notification email. Can be used multiple times to specify multiple addresses. This parameter is required unless to_regex_map is specified.

to_regex_map
  svnnotify --to-regex-map translate@example.com=L18N \
            -x legal@example.com=License

This parameter specifies a hash reference of email addresses to regular expression strings. SVN::Notify will compile the regular expression strings into regular expression objects, and then send notification messages if and only if the name of one or more of the directories affected by a commit matches the regular expression. This is a good way to have a notification email sent to a particular mail address (or comma-delimited list of addresses) only for certain parts of the subversion tree. This parameter is required unless to is specified.

The command-line options, --to-regex_map and -x, can be specified any number of times, once for each entry in the hash to be passed to new(). The value passed to the option must be in the form of the key and the value separated by an equal sign. Consult the Getopt::Long documentation for more information.

from
  svnnotify --from somewhere@example.com
  svnnotify -f elsewhere@example.com

The email address to use in the "From" line of the email. If not specified, SVN::Notify will use the username from the commit, as returned by svnlook info.

user_domain
  svnnotify --user-domain example.com
  svnnotify -D example.net

A domain name to append to the username for the "From" header of the email. During a Subversion commit, the username returned by svnlook info is usually something like a Unix login name. SVN::Notify will use this username in the email "From" header unless the from parameter is specified. If you wish to have the username take the form of a real email address, specify a domain name and SVN::Notify will append \@$domain_name to the username in order to create a real email address. This can be useful if all of your committers have an email address that corresponds to their username at the domain specified by the user_domain parameter.

svnlook
  svnnotify --svnlook /path/to/svnlook
  svnnotify -l /path/to/svnlook

The location of the svnlook executable. If not specified, SVN::Notify will search through the directories in the $PATH environment variable, plus in /usr/local/bin and /usr/sbin, for an svnlook executable. Specify a full path to svnlook via this option or by setting the $SVNLOOK environment variable if svnlook isn't in your path or to avoid loading File::Spec.

It's important to provide a complete path to svnlook because the environment during the execution of post-commit is anemic, with nary a $PATH environment variable to be found. So if svnnotify appears not to be working at all (and Subversion seems loathe to log when it dies!), make sure that you have specified the complete path to a working svnlook executable.

sendmail
  svnnotify --sendmail /path/to/sendmail
  svnnotify -s /path/to/sendmail

The location of the sendmail executable. If neither the sendmail nor the smtp parameter is specified, SVN::Notify will search through the directories in the $PATH environment variable, plus in /usr/local/bin and /usr/sbin, for an sendmail executable. Specify a full path to sendmail via this option or by setting the $SENDMAIL environment variable if sendmail isn't in your path or to avoid loading File::Spec. The same caveats as applied to the location of the svnlook executable apply here.

set_sender
  svnnotify --set-sender
  svnnotify -E

Uses the -f option to sendmail to set the envelope sender address of the email to the same address as is used for the "From" header. If you're also using the from option, be sure to make it only an email address. Don't include any other junk in it, like a sender's name. Ignored when using smtp.

smtp
  svnnotify --smtp smtp.example.com

The address for an SMTP server through which to send the notification email. If unspecified, SVN::Notify will use sendmail to send the message. If sendmail is not installed locally (such as on Windows boxes!), you must specify an SMTP server.

smtp_user
  svnnotify --smtp-user myuser

The user name for SMTP authentication. If this option is specified, SVN::Notify will use Net::SMTP_auth to send the notification message, and will of course authenticate to the SMTP server.

smtp_pass
  svnnotify --smtp-pass mypassword

The password for SMTP authentication. Use in parallel with smtp_user.

smtp_authtype
  svnnotify --smtp-authtype authtype

The authentication method to use for authenticating to the SMTP server. The available authentication types include "PLAIN", "NTLM", "CRAM_MD5", and others. Consult the Authen::SASL documentation for a complete list. Defaults to "PLAIN".

charset
  svnnotify --charset UTF-8
  svnnotify -c Big5

The character set typically used on the repository for log messages, file names, and file contents. Used to specify the character set in the email Content-Type headers and, when the language paremeter is specified, the $LANG environment variable when launching sendmail. Defaults to "UTF-8".

io_layer
  svnnotify --io-layer raw
  svnnotify -o bytes

The Perl IO layer to use for inputting and outputting data. See perlio for details. Defaults to "encoding($charset)". If your repository uses different character encodings, charset should be set to whatever is the most common character encoding, and io_layer is best set to raw. In that case, some characters might not look right in the commit messaage (because an email can manage only one character encoding at a time), but then svnnotify won't get stuck issuing a slew of warnings.

language
  svnnotify --language fr
  svnnotify -g i-klingon

The language typically used on the repository for log messages, file names, and file contents. Used to specify the email Content-Language header and to set the $LANG environment variable to $notify->language . '.' . $notify->charset before executing sendmail. Undefined by default, meaning that no Content-Language header is output and the $LANG environment variable will not be set.

with_diff
  svnnotify --with-diff
  svnnotify -d

A boolean value specifying whether or not to include the output of svnlook diff in the notification email. The diff will be inline at the end of the email unless the attach_diff parameter specifies a true value.

attach_diff
  svnnotify --attach-diff
  svnnotify -a

A boolean value specifying whether or not to attach the output of svnlook diff to the notification email. Rather than being inline in the body of the email, this parameter causes SVN::Notify to attach the diff as a separate file, named for the user who triggered the commit and the date and time UTC at which the commit took place. Specifying this parameter to a true value implicitly sets the with_diff parameter to a true value.

diff_switches
  svnnotify --diff-switches '--no-diff-added'
  svnnotify -w '--no-diff-deleted'

Switches to pass to svnlook diff, such as --no-diff-deleted and --no-diff-added. And who knows, maybe someday it will support the same options as svn diff, such as --diff-cmd and --extensions. Only relevant when used with with_diff or attach_diff.

reply_to
  svnnotify --reply-to devlist@example.com
  svnnotify -R developers@example.net

The email address to use in the "Reply-To" header of the notification email. No "Reply-To" header will be added to the email if no value is specified for the reply_to parameter.

add_headers
  svnnotify --add-header X-Approve=letMeIn

Add a header to the notification email message. The header name and its value must be separated by an equals sign. Specify the option multiple times in order to add multiple headers. Headers with the same names are allowed. Not to be confused with the --header option, which adds introductory text to the beginning of the email body.

subject_prefix
  svnnotify --subject-prefix [Devlist]
  svnnotify -P (Our-Developers)

An optional string to prepend to the beginning of the subject line of the notification email.

subject_cx
  svnnotify --subject-cx
  svnnotify -C

A boolean value indicating whether or not to include a the context of the commit in the subject line of the email. In a commit that affects multiple files, the context will be the name of the shortest directory affected by the commit. This should indicate up to how high up the Subversion repository tree the commit had an effect. If the commit affects a single file, then the context will simply be the name of that file.

strip_cx_regex
  svnnotify --strip-cx-regex '^trunk/'
  svnnotify --strip-cx-regex '^trunk/' --strip-cx-regex '^branches/'
  svnnotify -X '^trunk'
  svnnotify -X '^trunk' -X '^branches'

One or more regular expressions to be used to strip out parts of the subject context. This can be useful for very deep Subversion trees, where the commits you're sending will always be sent from a particular subtree, so you'd like to remove part of the tree. Used only if subject_cx is set to a true value. Pass an array reference if calling new() directly.

no_first_line
  svnnotify --no-first-line
  svnnotify -O

Omits the first line of the log message from the subject. This is most useful when used in combination with the subject_cx parameter, so that just the commit context is displayed in the subject and no part of the log message.

  svnnotify --header 'SVN::Notify is brought to you by Kineticode.

Adds a specified text to each message as a header at the beginning of the body of the message. Not to be confused with the --add-header option, which adds a header to the headers section of the email.

  svnnotify --footer 'Copyright (R) by Kineticode, Inc.'

Adds a specified text to each message as a footer at the end of the body of the message.

max_sub_length
  svnnotify --max-sub-length 72
  svnnotify -i 76

The maximum length of the notification email subject line. SVN::Notify includes the first line of the commit log message, or the first sentence of the message (defined as any text up to the string ". "), whichever is shorter. This could potentially be quite long. To prevent the subject from being over a certain number of characters, specify a maximum length here, and SVN::Notify will truncate the subject to the last word under that length.

max_diff_length
  svnnotify --max-diff-length 1024

The maximum length of the diff (attached or in the body). The diff output is truncated at the last line under the maximum character count specified and then outputs an additional line indicating that the maximum diff size was reached and output truncated. This is helpful when a large diff output could cause a message to bounce due to message size.

handler
  svnnotify --handler HTML
  svnnotify -H HTML

Specify the subclass of SVN::Notify to be constructed and returned, and therefore to handle the notification. Of course you can just use a subclass directly, but this parameter is designed to make it easy to just use SVN::Notify->new without worrying about loading subclasses, such as in svnnotify. Be sure to read the documentation for your subclass of choice, as there may be additional parameters and existing parameters may behave differently.

author_url
  svnnotify --author-url 'http://svn.example.com/changelog/~author=%s/repos'
  svnnotify --A 'mailto:%s@example.com'

If a URL is specified for this parameter, then it will be used to create a link for the current author. The URL can have the "%s" format where the author's username should be put into the URL.

revision_url
  svnnotify --revision-url 'http://svn.example.com/changelog/?cs=%s'
  svnnotify -U 'http://svn.example.com/changelog/?cs=%s'

If a URL is specified for this parameter, then it will be used to create a link to the Subversion browser URL corresponding to the current revision number. It will also be used to create links to any other revision numbers mentioned in the commit message. The URL must have the "%s" format where the Subversion revision number should be put into the URL.

svnweb_url
  svnnotify --svnweb-url 'http://svn.example.com/index.cgi/revision/?rev=%s'
  svnnotify -S 'http://svn.example.net/index.cgi/revision/?rev=%s'

Deprecated. Use revision_url instead.

viewcvs_url
  svnnotify --viewcvs-url 'http://svn.example.com/viewcvs/?rev=%s&view=rev'

Deprecated. Use revision_url instead.

rt_url
  svnnotify --rt-url 'http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?id=%s'
  svnnotify -T 'http://rt.perl.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?id=%s'

The URL of a Request Tracker (RT) server. If passed in, any strings in the log message of the form "Ticket # 12" or "ticket 6" or even "Ticket#1066" will be turned into links to the RT server. The URL must have the "%s" format where the RT ticket ID should be put into the URL.

bugzilla_url
  svnnotify --bugzilla-url 'http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%s'
  svnnotify -B 'http://bugs.bricolage.cc/show_bug.cgi?id=%s'

The URL of a Bugzilla server. If passed in, any strings in the log message of the form "Bug # 12" or "bug 6" or even "Bug#1066" will be turned into links to the Bugzilla server. The URL must have the "%s" format where the Bugzilla Bug ID should be put into the URL.

jira_url
  svnnotify --jira-url 'http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=%s'
  svnnotify -J 'http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=%s'

The URL of a JIRA server. If passed in, any strings in the log message that appear to be JIRA keys (such as "JRA-1234") will be turned into links to the JIRA server. The URL must have the "%s" format where the Jira key should be put into the URL.

gnats_url
  svnnotify --gnats-url 'http://gnatsweb.example.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&pr=%s'
  svnnotify -G 'http://gnatsweb.example.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&pr=%s'

The URL of a GnatsWeb server. If passed in, any strings in the log message that appear to be GNATS PRs (such as "PR 1234") will be turned into links to the GnatsWeb server. The URL must have the "%s" format where the GNATS PR number should be put into the URL.

ticket_url
  svnnotify --ticket-url 'http://ticket.example.com/showticket.html?id=%s'

The URL of a custom ticket system. If passed in, any strings in the log message that match ticket_regex will be turned into links to the custom ticket system. The URL must have the "%s" format where the first match (usually the ticket identifier) in the regex should be put into the URL.

ticket_regex
  svnnotify --ticket-regex '\[?#\s*(\d+)\s*\]?'

The regex to match a ticket tag of a custom ticket system. This should return a single match to be interpolated into the ticket_url option. The example shown matches "[#1234]" or "#1234" or "[# 1234]". This regex should be as specific as possible, preferably wrapped in "\b" to match word boundaries. If you're using SVN::Notify::HTML, be sure to read its documentation for a different syntax for ticket_regex!

verbose
  svnnotify --verbose -V

A value between 0 and 3 specifying how verbose SVN::Notify should be. The default is 0, meaning that SVN::Notify will be silent. A value of 1 causes SVN::Notify to output some information about what it's doing, while 2 and 3 each cause greater verbosity. To set the verbosity on the command line, simply pass the --verbose or -V option once for each level of verbosity, up to three times.

boundary

The boundary to use between email body text and attachments. This is normally generated by SVN::Notify.

subject

The subject of the email to be sent. This attribute is normally generated by prepare_subject().

Class Methods

content_type

  my $content_type = SVN::Notify->content_type;

Returns the content type of the notification message, "text/plain". Used to set the Content-Type header for the message.

register_attributes

  SVN::Notify::Subclass->register_attributes(
      foo_attr => 'foo-attr=s',
      bar      => 'bar',
      bat      => undef,
  );

This class method is used by subclasses to register new attributes. Pass in a list of key/value pairs, where the keys are the attribute names and the values are option specifications in the format required by Getopt::Long. SVN::Notify will create accessors for each attribute, and if the corresponding value is defined, it will be used by the get_options() class method to get a command-line option value.

See <LSVN::Notify::HTML|SVN::Notify::HTML> for an example usage of register_attributes().

get_options

  my $options = SVN::Notify->get_options;

Parses the command-line options in @ARGV to a hash reference suitable for passing as the parameters to new(). See "new" for a complete list of the supported parameters and their corresponding command-line options.

This method use Getopt::Long to parse @ARGV. It then looks for a handler option and, if it finds one, loads the appropriate subclass and parsed any options it requires from @ARGV. Subclasses should use register_attributes() to register any attributes and options they require.

file_label_map

  my $map = SVN::Notify->file_label_map;

Returns a hash reference of the labels to be used for the lists of files. A hash reference of file lists is stored in the files attribute after prepare_files() has been called. The hash keys in that list correspond to Subversion status codes, and these are mapped to their appropriate labels by the hash reference returned by this method:

  { U => 'Modified Paths',
    A => 'Added Paths',
    D => 'Removed Paths',
    _ => 'Property Changed'
  }

find_exe

  my $exe = SVN::Notify->find_exe($exe_name);

This method searches through the system path, as well as the extra directories /usr/local/bin and /usr/sbin (because they're common paths for svnlook and sendmail for an executable file with the name $exe_name. The first one it finds is returned with its full path. If none is found, find_exe() returns undef.

Instance Interface

Instance Methods

prepare

  $notifier->prepare;

Prepares the SVN::Notify object, collecting all the data it needs in preparation for sending the notification email. Really it's just a shortcut for:

  $notifier->prepare_recipients;
  $notifier->prepare_contents;
  $notifier->prepare_files;
  $notifier->prepare_subject;

Only it returns after the call to prepare_recipients() if there are no recipients (that is, as when recipients are specified solely by the to_regex_map parameter and none of the regular expressions match any of the affected directories).

prepare_recipients

  $notifier->prepare_recipients;

Collects and prepares a list of the notification recipients. The recipients are a combination of the value passed to the to parameter as well as any email addresses specified as keys in the hash reference passed to_regex_map parameter, where the regular expressions stored in the values match one or more of the names of the directories affected by the commit.

If the subject_cx parameter to new() has a true value, prepare_recipients() also determines the directory name to use for the context.

prepare_contents

  $notifier->prepare_contents;

Prepares the contents of the commit message, including the name of the user who triggered the commit (and therefore the contents of the "From" header to be used in the email) and the log message.

prepare_files

  $notifier->prepare_files;

Prepares the lists of files affected by the commit, sorting them into their categories: modified files, added files, and deleted files. It also compiles a list of files wherein a property was set, which might have some overlap with the list of modified files (if a single commit both modified a file and set a property on it).

If the subject_cx parameter was specified and a single file was affected by the commit, then prepare_files() will also specify that file name as the context to be used in the subject line of the commit email.

prepare_subject

  $notifier->prepare_subject;

Prepares the subject line for the notification email. This method must be called after prepare_recipients() and prepare_files(), since each of those methods potentially sets up the context for use in the the subject line. The subject may have a prefix defined by the subject_prefix parameter to new(), it has the revision number, it might have the context if the subject_cx specified a true value, and it will have the first sentence or line of the commit, whichever is shorter. The subject may then be truncated to the maximum length specified by the max_sub_length parameter.

execute

  $notifier->execute;

Sends the notification message. This involves opening a file handle to sendmail or a tied file handle connected to an SMTP server and passing it to output(). This is the main method used to send notifications or execute any other actions in response to Subversion activity.

output

  $notifier->output($file_handle);
  $notifier->output($file_handle, $no_headers);

Called internally by execute() to output a complete email message. The file a file handle, so that output() and its related methods can print directly to the email message. The optional second argument, if true, will suppress the output of the email headers.

Really output() is a simple wrapper around a number of other method calls. It is thus essentially a shortcut for:

    $notifier->output_headers($out) unless $no_headers;
    $notifier->output_content_type($out);
    $notifier->start_body($out);
    $notifier->output_metadata($out);
    $notifier->output_log_message($out);
    $notifier->output_file_lists($out);
    if ($notifier->with_diff) {
        my $diff_handle = $self->diff_handle;
        if ($notifier->attach_diff) {
            $notifier->end_body($out);
            $notifier->output_attached_diff($out, $diff_handle);
        } else {
            $notifier->output_diff($out, $diff_handle);
            $notifier->end_body($out);
        }
    } else {
        $notifier->end_body($out);
    }
    $notifier->end_message($out);

output_headers

  $notifier->output_headers($file_handle);

Outputs the headers for the notification message headers. Should be called only once for a single email message.

output_content_type

  $notifier->output_content_type($file_handle);

Outputs the content type and transfer encoding headers. These demarcate the body of the message. If the attach_diff parameter was set to true, then a boundary string will be generated and the Content-Type set to "multipart/mixed" and stored as the boundary attribute.

Arter that, this method outputs the content type returned by content_type(), the character set specified by the charset attribute, and a Content-Transfer-Encoding of "8bit". Subclasses can either rely on this functionality or override this method to provide their own content type headers.

start_body

  $notifier->start_body($file_handle);

This method starts the body of the notification message, which means that it outputs the contents of the header attribute, if there are any. Otherwise it outputs nothing, but see subclasses for other behaviors.

output_metadata

  $notifier->output_metadata($file_handle);

This method outputs the metadata of the commit, including the revision number, author (user), and date of the revision. If the author_url, viewcvs_url, or revision_url attributes have been set, then the appropriate URL(s) for the revision will also be output.

output_log_message

  $notifier->output_log_message($file_handle);

Outputs the commit log message, as well as the label "Log Message".

output_file_lists

  $notifier->output_log_message($file_handle);

Outputs the lists of modified, added, and deleted files, as well as the list of files for which properties were changed. The labels used for each group are pulled in from the file_label_map() class method.

end_body

  $notifier->end_body($file_handle);

Closes out the body of the email by outtputing the contents of the footer attribute, if any, and then a couple of newlines. Designed to be called when the body of the message is complete, and before any call to output_attached_diff().

output_diff

  $notifier->output_diff($out_file_handle, $diff_file_handle);

Reads diff data from $diff_file_handle and outputs it to to $out_file_handle.

output_attached_diff

  $notifier->output_attached_diff($out_file_handle, $diff_file_handle);

Reads diff data from $diff_file_handle and outputs it to to $out_file_handle as an attachment.

end_message

  $notifier->end_message($file_handle);

Outputs the final part of the message,. In this case, that means only a boundary if the attach_diff parameter is true. Designed to be called after any call to output_attached_diff().

diff_handle

  my $diff = $notifier->diff_handle;
  while (<$diff>) { print }

Returns a file handle reference providing access to the the commit diff. It will usually be passed as the second argument to output_diff() or output_attached_diff().
