From a56d97d13d34fa3588915b748fd78f6c5c9dd852 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lyra Bot Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 05:18:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix(gitea): handle disabled git hooks gracefully in secure-gitea.py Previously, when Gitea is installed with DISABLE_GIT_HOOKS=true (the default), every git-hook API call returned 403 and the script: - marked every repository as FAILED, and - never counted the hook step at all. This change detects the disabled state up front with a single probe against the first editable repo: - If hooks are disabled, it prints a clear notice, skips the pre-receive step for every repo (branch/tag protection still runs normally), and exits non-zero (2) so automation notices the run is partial. - A per-repo 403 on the hook step is isolated (HookNotWritable) so it no longer clobbers the whole repo into FAILED -- branch/tag still apply, and the hook reports 'SKIPPED (git hooks not writable)'. - Adds a Hooks skipped counter and distinguishes 'disabled' vs 'not writable' in the summary. - Fixes an UnboundLocalError on the 'no editable repos' path by initializing hooks_enabled before the probe. Verified end-to-end against a mock Gitea API for both scenarios (hooks disabled -> skip + exit 2; hooks enabled -> exact/stale/missing handled correctly, exit 0). --- secure-gitea.py | 182 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 157 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/secure-gitea.py b/secure-gitea.py index 2a3860d..5e7700d 100644 --- a/secure-gitea.py +++ b/secure-gitea.py @@ -94,6 +94,20 @@ TAG_DESIRED = { } +# When Gitea is installed with DISABLE_GIT_HOOKS=true (the default), the +# git-hook API returns 403 for every repository regardless of who the token +# belongs to -- even a site admin.
