Setting repository connections using REST API

A. Truelsen June 15, 2015

I'm try to add read permissions to forked repositories so that team members can access each others commits.

I have a powershell script that looks roughly like this:

 

param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=${true})][string]$gitUser = "jdoe",
[Parameter(Mandatory=${false})][string]$gitPrj = "DEMO"
)

$headers = @{}
$headers.Add('Accept','application/json')
$headers.Add('Authorization','Basic 123abc456def')

$repos = @("repo1","repo2","repo3","repo4","repo5")

foreach ($repo in $repos) {
   $uri = "http://$gitHost/rest/api/1.0/projects/~$gitUser/repos/$repo/permissions/groups?permission=REPO_READ&name=R_STAS_$gitPrj_dev"
   $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method "POST"

}

This works nicely for the first two repos, but the third (and subsequent) API call fail with a timeout:

System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out.
at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.GetResponse(WebRequest request)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.ProcessRecord()

The order of the repositories doesn't matter so breaking the script up in chunks that does 2 repos and then calling all the two-repo scripts does in fact work.

 

Stash support is unable to help sad

Has anybody tried something similar?

 

TIA

Anders,

Adaptavist just released a new Add-on to the Marketplace called ScriptRunner for Stash. I'm replying here since I can't answer your question directly but this Add-on may be an easier workaround for updating Stash repository permissions in bulk.

There is a section in the documentation that outlines how to get started with a permission script provided:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/stash/latest/docs/script_console/#bulk-project-permissions-update

Also, there is functionality that can set default permissions for each new repository that gets created in the future and is covered in the documentation here:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/stash/latest/docs/event_handlers/#default-project-repository-permissions

Finally, there is a video available that goes through this on our Youtube channel:

I hope that helps, if so - could you please mark this as an answer?

 

regards,

Hi Anders,

I observe exactly the same issue with my REST API calls.

Namely, the first two PUT invocations work nicely, but the third (and subsequent) API call fails with a timeout:

System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out.
at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.GetResponse(WebRequest request)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.ProcessRecord()

My implementation is also composed in PowerShell.

The only difference is that I call Jira REST API, not Stash.

Q: Have you made any progress in the root cause analysis? Have you found any solution?
