Gitlab Web Hooks

Small Sinatra app for providing Web hooks for Gitlab

Reviewboard Web Hook

With this Web hook it is possible to transfer Merge Request changes in Gitlab to a Reviewboard instance. The configuration is done in the .env file. To use the the Web Hook simply run rackup and add the server address as a Web hook for incoming Merge Request events in Gitlab.

How it works:

• the hook only transfers the changes when the Merge Request has a certain label (default = reviewboard)
• on the first transfer it creates a Review Request on the Reviewboard and writes a Merge Request comment with the ID (e.g. REVIEW_ID: 234)
• for every MR change it uploads a new Diff to Reviewboard and adds a MR comment with the link (e.g. http://localhost:8000/r/234/diff/2-3/)
• it uses the owner of the MR as the submitter of the Review Request, so make sure that:
  • the REVIEWBOARD_USER has the "Can submit as user" permission
  • users in Gitlab and Reviewboard have the same names
  • when using LDAP the user with the GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN has the Admin role (to be able to fetch LDAP user names)
