Can I trigger a git hook after a commit from Gitlab web editor?

Question

I use git, specially in conjunction with Gitlab (7.7.1 + shell 2.4.1), to wire together a bunch of parts of my development workflow. The post important part of this is the post-receive hooks that happen on the server end that run various tests and builds. The introduction of custom hooks has made this a lot easier as I no longer have to monkey with the Gitlab code to recover the hook positions it was previously hijacking.

The post-receive hook in this location works great for all commits coming in via SSH. The problem I have is that these hooks do not seem to be called when the web interface built in editor is used to make a commit. I've tried putting a post-commit hook in the custom_hooks folder of my repo but it does not seem to get called. It seems like this lack of hook calling is also the case if I use the HTTPS address for connecting to git rather than SSH.

Is there a way to configure Gitlab or a place to put my hooks such that it will be called for all commits that hit the repository, not just remote pushes via SSH?

Answer 1

Custom hooks ( introduced with gitlab-shell 2.2.0 and Gitlab 7.5+ ) don't seem to be triggered through web ui edit file action ( gitlab/satellite/files/edit_file_action.rb ).

This is reported in issue 8428 , and is still pending.
