Maven pre commit hook

pre-commit

#!/bin/bash

# save the file as <git_directory>/.git/hooks/pre-commit

echo "Running Maven clean test for errors"
# retrieving current working directory
CWD=`pwd`
MAIN_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
# go to main project dir
cd $MAIN_DIR/../../
# running maven clean test
mvn clean test
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  "Error while testing the code"
  # go back to current working dir
  cd $CWD
  exit 1
fi
# go back to current working dir
cd $CWD

Also, don't forget to chmod +x pre-commit, otherwise the hook won't execute

I recently installed git in my ubuntu machine but i can't find the location .git
Where can i find .git directory in ubuntu ? i am unable to see.

HOW TO DO IT IN GRADLE ?

It is possible to check commit message format ?

I think you forgot echo in line 14

I get an error in line 8: `$(' is not allowed as a global variable name

Thanks, I use it for a pre-push hook it work very well !

how can I share with my team, except the copy/paste way.

This approach has no value except if you work on your own. There has to be a way to do this as part of the maven.
For example, in nodejs world you have 'husky' library which listens for git events and executes tests, it is included in package.json and exists in git.

@Vallerious, I encourage you to read the manual of git and your hosting provider on how to create global git hooks

@arnobroekhof Hosting provider? If you collaborate with other people they will not develop on a host machine, they will do on their machines and the only way to make sure that the tests are run before commit or push is to have something programatically hook to that event and execute tests. It has to know what is the platform to run them. So if you could elaborate more on this would be helpful.

@vallerious with hosting provider I mean bitbucket, github, gitlab or whatever repository hosting provider you are using...

Or read the manual on howto configure post receive hooks

@arnobroekhof I understand that you are talking about a pipeline which runs when your code is on your git provider, but it is a good idea to have this step on every developer's machine so that code that does not pass the tests is not pushed at all.
Once it is on gitlab, github, etc. it is clear how it can be setup.
