External Merge Hook Failure Creates Strangely Styled Popup - How Can I Change Its Style?

Question

I recently added an External Merge Git Hook into my project to prevent anyone from merging a PR unless it has first been rebased with the branch onto which it is to be merged.

It seems to work, but for some reason, the notification/popup/tooltip produced looks like this:

How can I remove this embedded HTML so it simply shows my message? I can't seem to find anything online about it...

My git hook simply echoes "Rebase is required" then exits with a code 1, so it's not doing anything unusual.

Any help much appreciated!

Upgrading to v5.3.0 seems to have fixed the issue.

Thanks for your help Jeff.

I suspect the code that generates the HTML lies within Bitbucket itself rather than External Hooks.

If you do manage to find a workaround, that would be great, but for now we'll have to make do with an ugly notification!

Hi Ryan, just confirming that I was able to reproduce this same issue with a similar setup to yours. At this time, I'm not aware of any workarounds at the moment.

I'm also looking into where the HTML is coming from since the shell script doesn't returning any and I can't see anything in External Hooks that would add it.
