1# AOSP Preupload Hooks
2
3This repo holds hooks that get run by repo during the upload phase. They
4perform various checks automatically such as running linters on your code.
5
6Note: Currently all hooks are disabled by default. Each repo must explicitly
7turn on any hook it wishes to enforce.
8
9[TOC]
10
11## Usage
12
13Normally these execute automatically when you run `repo upload`. If you want to
14run them by hand, you can execute `pre-upload.py` directly. By default, that
15will scan the active repo and process all commits that haven't yet been merged.
16See its help for more info.
17
18### Bypassing
19
20Sometimes you might want to bypass the upload checks. While this is **strongly
21discouraged** (often failures you add will affect others and block them too),
22sometimes there are valid reasons for this. You can simply use the option
23`--no-verify` when running `repo upload` to skip all upload checks. This will
24skip **all** checks and not just specific ones. It should be used only after
25having run & evaluated the upload output previously.
26
27# Config Files
28
29There are two types of config files:
30* Repo project-wide settings (e.g. all of AOSP). These set up defaults for all
31 projects that are checked out via a single manifest.
32* Project-local settings (e.g. a single .git repo). These control settings for
33 the local project you're working on.
34
35The merging of these config files control the hooks/checks that get run when
36running `repo upload`.
37
38## GLOBAL-PREUPLOAD.cfg
39
40These are the manifest-wide defaults and can be located in two places:
41* `.repo/manifests/GLOBAL-PREUPLOAD.cfg`: The manifest git repo.
42 Simply check this in to the manifest git repo and you're done.
43* `GLOBAL-PREUPLOAD.cfg`: The top level of the repo checkout.
44 For manifests that don't have a project checked out at the top level,
45 you can use repo's `<copyfile>` directive.
46
47These config files will be loaded first before stacking `PREUPLOAD.cfg`
48settings on top.
49
50## PREUPLOAD.cfg
51
52This file is checked in the top of a specific git repository. Stacking them
53in subdirectories (to try and override parent settings) is not supported.
54

76
77## Environment
78
79Hooks are executed in the top directory of the git repository. All paths should
80generally be relative to that point.
81
82A few environment variables are set so scripts don't need to discover things.
83
84* `REPO_PROJECT`: The name of the project.
85 e.g. `platform/tools/repohooks`
86* `REPO_PATH`: The path to the project relative to the root.
87 e.g. `tools/repohooks`
88* `REPO_REMOTE`: The name of the git remote.
89 e.g. `aosp`.
90* `REPO_LREV`: The name of the remote revision, translated to a local tracking
91 branch. This is typically latest commit in the remote-tracking branch.
92 e.g. `ec044d3e9b608ce275f02092f86810a3ba13834e`
93* `REPO_RREV`: The remote revision.
94 e.g. `master`
95* `PREUPLOAD_COMMIT`: The commit that is currently being checked.
96 e.g. `1f89dce0468448fa36f632d2fc52175cd6940a91`
97
98## Placeholders
99
100A few keywords are recognized to pass down settings. These are **not**
101environment variables, but are expanded inline. Files with whitespace and
102such will be expanded correctly via argument positions, so do not try to
103force your own quote handling.
104
105* `${PREUPLOAD_FILES}`: List of files to operate on.
106* `${PREUPLOAD_FILES_PREFIXED}`: A list of files to operate on.
107 Any string preceding/attached to the keyword ${PREUPLOAD_FILES_PREFIXED}
108 will be repeated for each file automatically. If no string is preceding/attached
109 to the keyword, the previous argument will be repeated before each file.
110* `${PREUPLOAD_COMMIT}`: Commit hash.
111* `${PREUPLOAD_COMMIT_MESSAGE}`: Commit message.
112
113Some variables are available to make it easier to handle OS differences. These
114are automatically expanded for you:
115
116* `${REPO_PATH}`: The path to the project relative to the root.
117 e.g. `tools/repohooks`
118* `${REPO_PROJECT}`: The name of the project.
119 e.g. `platform/tools/repohooks`
120* `${REPO_ROOT}`: The absolute path of the root of the repo checkout. If the
121 project is in a submanifest, this points to the root of the submanifest.
122* `${REPO_OUTER_ROOT}`: The absolute path of the root of the repo checkout.
123 This always points to the root of the overall repo checkout.
124* `${BUILD_OS}`: The string `darwin-x86` for macOS and the string `linux-x86`
125 for Linux/x86.
126
127### Examples
128
129Here are some examples of using the placeholders.
130Consider this sample config file.
131```
132[Hook Scripts]
133lister = ls ${PREUPLOAD_FILES}
134checker prefix = check --file=${PREUPLOAD_FILES_PREFIXED}
135checker flag = check --file ${PREUPLOAD_FILES_PREFIXED}
136```
137With a commit that changes `path1/file1` and `path2/file2`, then this will run
138programs with the arguments:
139* ['ls', 'path1/file1', 'path2/file2']
140* ['check', '--file=path1/file1', '--file=path2/file2']
141* ['check', '--file', 'path1/file1', '--file', 'path2/file2']
142
143## [Options]
144
145This section allows for setting options that affect the overall behavior of the
146pre-upload checks. The following options are recognized:
147
148* `ignore_merged_commits`: If set to `true`, the hooks will not run on commits
149 that are merged. Hooks will still run on the merge commit itself.
150
151## [Hook Scripts]
152
153This section allows for completely arbitrary hooks to run on a per-repo basis.
154
155The key can be any name (as long as the syntax is valid), as can the program
156that is executed. The key is used as the name of the hook for reporting purposes,
157so it should be at least somewhat descriptive.
158
159Whitespace in the key name is OK!
160
161The keys must be unique as duplicates will silently clobber earlier values.
162
163You do not need to send stderr to stdout. The tooling will take care of
164merging them together for you automatically.
165
166```
167[Hook Scripts]
168my first hook = program --gogog ${PREUPLOAD_FILES}
169another hook = funtimes --i-need "some space" ${PREUPLOAD_FILES}
170some fish = linter --ate-a-cat ${PREUPLOAD_FILES}
171some cat = formatter --cat-commit ${PREUPLOAD_COMMIT}
172some dog = tool --no-cat-in-commit-message ${PREUPLOAD_COMMIT_MESSAGE}
173```
174
175## [Builtin Hooks]
176
177This section allows for turning on common/builtin hooks. There are a bunch of
178canned hooks already included geared towards AOSP style guidelines.
179
180* `aidl_format`: Run AIDL files (.aidl) through `aidl-format`.
181* `android_test_mapping_format`: Validate TEST_MAPPING files in Android source
182 code. Refer to go/test-mapping for more details.
183* `bpfmt`: Run Blueprint files (.bp) through `bpfmt`.
184* `checkpatch`: Run commits through the Linux kernel's `checkpatch.pl` script.
185* `clang_format`: Run git-clang-format against the commit. The default style is
186 `file`.
187* `commit_msg_bug_field`: Require a valid `Bug:` line.
188* `commit_msg_changeid_field`: Require a valid `Change-Id:` Gerrit line.
189* `commit_msg_prebuilt_apk_fields`: Require badging and build information for
190 prebuilt APKs.
191* `commit_msg_relnote_field_format`: Check for possible misspellings of the
192 `Relnote:` field and that multiline release notes are properly formatted with
193 quotes.
194* `commit_msg_relnote_for_current_txt`: Check that CLs with changes to
195 current.txt or public_plus_experimental_current.txt also contain a
196 `Relnote:` field in the commit message.
197* `commit_msg_test_field`: Require a `Test:` line.
198* `cpplint`: Run through the cpplint tool (for C++ code).
199* `gofmt`: Run Go code through `gofmt`.
200* `google_java_format`: Run Java code through
201 [`google-java-format`](https://github.com/google/google-java-format).
202 Supports an additional option --include-dirs, which if specified will limit
203 enforcement to only files under the specified directories.
204* `jsonlint`: Verify JSON code is sane.
205* `ktfmt`: Run Kotlin code through `ktfmt`. Supports an additional option
206 --include-dirs, which if specified will limit enforcement to only files under
207 the specified directories.
208* `pylint`: Alias of `pylint2`. Will change to `pylint3` by end of 2019.
209* `pylint2`: Run Python code through `pylint` using Python 2.
210* `pylint3`: Run Python code through `pylint` using Python 3.
211* `rustfmt`: Run Rust code through `rustfmt`.
212* `xmllint`: Run XML code through `xmllint`.
213
214Note: Builtin hooks tend to match specific filenames (e.g. `.json`). If no
215files match in a specific commit, then the hook will be skipped for that commit.
216
217```
218[Builtin Hooks]
219# Turn on cpplint checking.
220cpplint = true
221# Turn off gofmt checking.
222gofmt = false
223```
224
225## [Builtin Hooks Options]
226
227Used to customize the behavior of specific `[Builtin Hooks]`. Any arguments set
228here will be passed directly to the linter in question. This will completely
229override any existing default options, so be sure to include everything you need
230(especially `${PREUPLOAD_FILES}` -- see below).
231
232Quoting is handled naturally. i.e. use `"a b c"` to pass an argument with
233whitespace.
234
235See [Placeholders](#Placeholders) for variables you can expand automatically.
236
237```
238[Builtin Hooks Options]
239# Pass more filter args to cpplint.
240cpplint = --filter=-x ${PREUPLOAD_FILES}
241```
242
243## [Builtin Hooks Exclude Paths]
244
245*** note
246This section can only be added to the repo project-wide settings
247[GLOBAL-PREUPLOAD.cfg].
248***
249
250Used to explicitly exclude some projects when processing a hook. With this
251section, it is possible to define a hook that should apply to the majority of
252projects except a few.
253
254An entry must completely match the project's `REPO_PATH`. The paths can use the
255[shell-style wildcards](https://docs.python.org/library/fnmatch.html) and
256quotes. For advanced cases, it is possible to use a [regular
257expression](https://docs.python.org/howto/regex.html) by using the `^` prefix.
258
259```
260[Builtin Hooks Exclude Paths]
261# Run cpplint on all projects except ones under external/ and vendor/.
262# The "external" and "vendor" projects, if they exist, will still run cpplint.
263cpplint = external/* vendor/*
264
265# Run rustfmt on all projects except ones under external/. All projects under
266# hardware/ will be excluded except for ones starting with hardware/google (due to
267# the negative regex match).
268rustfmt = external/ ^hardware/(!?google)
269```
270
271## [Tool Paths]
272
273Some builtin hooks need to call external executables to work correctly. By
274default it will call those tools from the user's `$PATH`, but the paths of those
275executables can be overridden through `[Tool Paths]`. This is helpful to
276provide consistent behavior for developers across different OS and Linux
277distros/versions. The following tools are recognized:
278
279* `aidl-format`: used for the `aidl_format` builtin hook.
280* `android-test-mapping-format`: used for the `android_test_mapping_format`
281 builtin hook.
282* `bpfmt`: used for the `bpfmt` builtin hook.
283* `clang-format`: used for the `clang_format` builtin hook.
284* `cpplint`: used for the `cpplint` builtin hook.
285* `git-clang-format`: used for the `clang_format` builtin hook.
286* `gofmt`: used for the `gofmt` builtin hook.
287* `google-java-format`: used for the `google_java_format` builtin hook.
288* `google-java-format-diff`: used for the `google_java_format` builtin hook.
289* `ktfmt`: used for the `ktfmt` builtin hook.
290* `pylint`: used for the `pylint` builtin hook.
291* `rustfmt`: used for the `rustfmt` builtin hook.
292
293See [Placeholders](#Placeholders) for variables you can expand automatically.
294
295```
296[Tool Paths]
297# Pass absolute paths.
298clang-format = /usr/bin/clang-format
299# Or paths relative to the top of the git project.
300clang-format = prebuilts/bin/clang-format
301# Or paths relative to the repo root.
302clang-format = ${REPO_ROOT}/prebuilts/clang/host/${BUILD_OS}/clang-stable/bin/clang-format
303```
304
305# Hook Developers
306
307These are notes for people updating the `pre-upload.py` hook itself:
308
309* Don't worry about namespace collisions. The `pre-upload.py` script is loaded
310 and exec-ed in its own context. The only entry-point that matters is `main`.
311* New hooks can be added in `rh/hooks.py`. Be sure to keep the list up-to-date
312 with the documentation in this file.
313
314## Warnings
315
316If the return code of a hook is 77, then it is assumed to be a warning. The
317output will be printed to the terminal, but uploading will still be allowed
318without a bypass being required.
319
320# TODO/Limitations
321
322* `pylint` should support per-directory pylintrc files.
323* Some checkers operate on the files as they exist in the filesystem. This is
324 not easy to fix because the linters require not just the modified file but the
325 entire repo in order to perform full checks. e.g. `pylint` needs to know what
326 other modules exist locally to verify their API. We can support this case by
327 doing a full checkout of the repo in a temp dir, but this can slow things down
328 a lot. Will need to consider a `PREUPLOAD.cfg` knob.
329* We need to add `pylint` tool to the AOSP manifest and use that local copy
330 instead of relying on the version that is in $PATH.
331* Should make file extension filters configurable. All hooks currently declare
332 their own list of files like `.cc` and `.py` and `.xml`.
333* Add more checkers.
334 * `clang-check`: Runs static analyzers against code.
335 * License checking (like require AOSP header).
336 * Whitespace checking (trailing/tab mixing/etc...).
337 * Long line checking.
338 * Commit message checks (correct format/BUG/TEST/SOB tags/etc...).
339 * Markdown (gitiles) validator.
340 * Spell checker.
