Java API to get commit history in a merge check

Sandeep Pillay

I am writing a merge check plugin for which I need a list of commits made to the repository in question in the preUpdate method. Can someone help me with the right API to use? 

My Code:

public class MyCheck implements RepositoryMergeCheck
{
	public RepositoryHookResult preUpdate(PreRepositoryHookContext context, PullRequestMergeHookRequest request)
	{
		//TODO: Get list of repository commits here to process them
		return RepositoryHookResult.accepted();
	}
}

You want to do something like this:

final PullRequest pullRequest = pullRequestMergeHookRequest.getPullRequest();

CommitsBetweenRequest commitsRequest = new CommitsBetweenRequest.Builder(pullRequest)
        .include(pullRequest.getFromRef().getLatestCommit())
        .exclude(pullRequest.getToRef().getLatestCommit())
        .build();

PageRequest pageRequest = new PageRequestImpl(0, PageRequest.MAX_PAGE_LIMIT);

Page<Commit> commits = commitService.getCommitsBetween(commitsRequest, pageRequest);

You will have to loop and do

pageRequest = commits.getNextPageRequest();

until

pageRequest != null
