hook development in continuous integration environment

Kevin Mayer

We have checked our stash hooks into a git repository. Upon checkin, the post-receive hook kicks off a build in our jenkins environment. When the build gets executed we get errors similar to the following:

[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.version' for com.atlassian.stash:stash-api:jar is missing. @ line 28, column 21

I have gone into https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/ and done a mvn install to install an appropriate jar file(the correct version 2.2.0) such as stash-api-2.2.0.jar

Is there a better way to get all of the correct dependencies installed? We are concerned that running atlas-create-stash-plugin from the atlassian-plugin-sdk-4.1.6 will overwrite other versions of packages we have installed.

Hi Kevin,

I'm fairly certain that's related purely to your pom.xml configuration, and not the install dependencies. Have you specified the version of stash-api that you want? Your pom.xml should contain an entry like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.atlassian.stash</groupId>
    <artifactId>stash-api</artifactId>
    <version>${stash.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

You might also want to take a look at some of our Stash plugin examples on Bitbucket which use the dependencyManagement to include stash-parent, which then allows you to omit the version on stash dependencies.

After that running the normal 'mvn package' or 'mvn install' should download all the required dependencies and then compile/test your hook.

I hope this helps. If not please post your pom.xml so we can take a look
