Show renamed files in diffs bitbucket pull request

Question

Hi,

I am fairly a newbie with bitbucket, and i would like to know how to display a "rename" flag on a file within a pull request, like on the example below.

I tried setting my bitbucket server property file "bitbucket.properties" with

-  plugin.bitbucket-git.diff.renames=renames

- plugin.bitbucket-git.diff.renames.threshold=50

- plugin.stash-scm-git.diff.renames.KEY.slug

- plugin.stash-scm-git.diff.renames.KEY

I restarted my bitbucket server and still not able to display the "rename" flag on my pull request.

And this link talks about what i am trying to do except it is for Bitbucket cloud version.

Hello @abdou_test,

According to the latest Bitbucket Server documentation, by default, both rename and copy detection are performed. Only files modified in the same commit are considered as rename or copy origins, to minimize overhead.

Can you please check if that's your use case?

Cheers,

Felipe
