HomeHooks
Introduction
A hook of type xxx of class yyy needs to be registered using:
yyy.hooks.install_named_hook("xxx", ...)
See Using hooks in the User Guide for examples.
The class that contains each hook is given before the hooks it supplies. For instance, BranchHooks as the class is the hooks class for bzrlib.branch.Branch.hooks.
Each description also indicates whether the hook runs on the client (the machine where bzr was invoked) or the server (the machine addressed by the branch URL). These may be, but are not necessarily, the same machine.
Plugins (including hooks) are run on the server if all of these is true:
- The connection is via a smart server (accessed with a URL starting with “bzr://”, “bzr+ssh://” or “bzr+http://”, or accessed via a “http://” URL when a smart server is available via HTTP).
- The hook is either server specific or part of general infrastructure rather than client specific code (such as commit).
BranchHooks
automatic_tag_name
Introduced in: 2.2
Called to determine an automatic tag name for a revision.automatic_tag_name is called with (branch, revision_id) and should return a tag name or None if no tag name could be determined. The first non-None tag name returned will be used.
open
Introduced in: 1.8
Called with the Branch object that has been opened after a branch is opened.
post_change_branch_tip
Introduced in: 1.4
Called in bzr client and server after a change to the tip of a branch is made. post_change_branch_tip is called with a bzrlib.branch.ChangeBranchTipParams. Note that push, pull, commit, uncommit will all trigger this hook.
post_commit
Introduced in: 0.15
Called in the bzr client after a commit has completed. post_commit is called with (local, master, old_revno, old_revid, new_revno, new_revid). old_revid is NULL_REVISION for the first commit to a branch.
post_pull
Introduced in: 0.15
Called after a pull operation completes. post_pull is called with a bzrlib.branch.PullResult object and only runs in the bzr client.
post_push
Introduced in: 0.15
Called after a push operation completes. post_push is called with a bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult object and only runs in the bzr client.
post_uncommit
Introduced in: 0.15
Called in the bzr client after an uncommit completes. post_uncommit is called with (local, master, old_revno, old_revid, new_revno, new_revid) where local is the local branch or None, master is the target branch, and an empty branch receives new_revno of 0, new_revid of None.
pre_change_branch_tip
Introduced in: 1.6
Called in bzr client and server before a change to the tip of a branch is made. pre_change_branch_tip is called with a bzrlib.branch.ChangeBranchTipParams. Note that push, pull, commit, uncommit will all trigger this hook.
pre_commit
Introduced in: 0.91
Called after a commit is calculated but before it is is completed. pre_commit is called with (local, master, old_revno, old_revid, future_revno, future_revid, tree_delta, future_tree). old_revid is NULL_REVISION for the first commit to a branch, tree_delta is a TreeDelta object describing changes from the basis revision. hooks MUST NOT modify this delta. future_tree is an in-memory tree obtained from CommitBuilder.revision_tree() and hooks MUST NOT modify this tree.
set_rh
Introduced in: 0.15
Invoked whenever the revision history has been set via set_revision_history. The api signature is (branch, revision_history), and the branch will be write-locked. The set_rh hook can be expensive for bzr to trigger, a better hook to use is Branch.post_change_branch_tip.
transform_fallback_location
Introduced in: 1.9
Called when a stacked branch is activating its fallback locations. transform_fallback_location is called with (branch, url), and should return a new url. Returning the same url allows it to be used as-is, returning a different one can be used to cause the branch to stack on a closer copy of that fallback_location. Note that the branch cannot have history accessing methods called on it during this hook because the fallback locations have not been activated. When there are multiple hooks installed for transform_fallback_location, all are called with the url returned from the previous hook.The order is however undefined.
BzrDirHooks
pre_open
Introduced in: 1.14
Invoked before attempting to open a BzrDir with the transport that the open will use.
CommandHooks
extend_command
Introduced in: 1.13
Called after creating a command object to allow modifications such as adding or removing options, docs etc. Called with the new bzrlib.commands.Command object.
get_command
Introduced in: 1.17
Called when creating a single command. Called with (cmd_or_None, command_name). get_command should either return the cmd_or_None parameter, or a replacement Command object that should be used for the command. Note that the Command.hooks hooks are core infrastructure. Many users will prefer to use bzrlib.commands.register_command or plugin_cmds.register_lazy.
get_missing_command
Introduced in: 1.17
Called when creating a single command if no command could be found. Called with (command_name). get_missing_command should either return None, or a Command object to be used for the command.
list_commands
Introduced in: 1.17
Called when enumerating commands. Called with a set of cmd_name strings for all the commands found so far. This set is safe to mutate - e.g. to remove a command. list_commands should return the updated set of command names.
InfoHooks
repository
Introduced in: 1.15
Invoked when displaying the statistics for a repository. repository is called with a statistics dictionary as returned by the repository and a file-like object to write to.
LockHooks
lock_acquired
Introduced in: 1.8
Called with a bzrlib.lock.LockResult when a physical lock is acquired.
lock_broken
Introduced in: 1.15
Called with a bzrlib.lock.LockResult when a physical lock is broken.
lock_released
Introduced in: 1.8
Called with a bzrlib.lock.LockResult when a physical lock is released.
MergeHooks
merge_file_content
Introduced in: 2.1
Called with a bzrlib.merge.Merger object to create a per file merge object when starting a merge. Should return either None or a subclass of bzrlib.merge.AbstractPerFileMerger. Such objects will then be called per file that needs to be merged (including when one side has deleted the file and the other has changed it). See the AbstractPerFileMerger API docs for details on how it is used by merge.
MergeDirectiveHooks
merge_request_body
Introduced in: 1.15.0
Called with a MergeRequestBodyParams when a body is needed for a merge request. Callbacks must return a body. If more than one callback is registered, the output of one callback is provided to the next.
MessageEditorHooks
commit_message_template
Introduced in: 1.10
Called when a commit message is being generated. commit_message_template is called with the bzrlib.commit.Commit object and the message that is known so far. commit_message_template must return a new message to use (which could be the same as it was given. When there are multiple hooks registered for commit_message_template, they are chained with the result from the first passed into the second, and so on.
MutableTreeHooks
post_commit
Introduced in: 2.0
Called after a commit is performed on a tree. The hook is called with a bzrlib.mutabletree.PostCommitHookParams object. The mutable tree the commit was performed on is available via the mutable_tree attribute of that object.
start_commit
Introduced in: 1.4
Called before a commit is performed on a tree. The start commit hook is able to change the tree before the commit takes place. start_commit is called with the bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree that the commit is being performed on.
SmartClientHooks
call
Introduced in: unknown
Called when the smart client is submitting a request to the smart server. Called with a bzrlib.smart.client.CallHookParams object. Streaming request bodies, and responses, are not accessible.
SmartServerHooks
server_started
Introduced in: 0.16
Called by the bzr server when it starts serving a directory. server_started is called with (backing urls, public url), where backing_url is a list of URLs giving the server-specific directory locations, and public_url is the public URL for the directory being served.
server_started_ex
Introduced in: 1.17
Called by the bzr server when it starts serving a directory. server_started is called with (backing_urls, server_obj).
server_stopped
Introduced in: 0.16
Called by the bzr server when it stops serving a directory. server_stopped is called with the same parameters as the server_started hook: (backing_urls, public_url).
RioVersionInfoBuilderHooks
revision
Introduced in: 1.15
Invoked when adding information about a revision to the RIO stanza that is printed. revision is called with a revision object and a RIO stanza.
