post-commit email hook problem with mailer.py

[David Koontz <dk...@mailblocks.com>]

I have a working subversion repository that I've been using for quite 
some time now and I wanted to add email notification to the post-commit 
action.  I  copied the post-commit.tmpl file and copied the mailer.py 
and mailer.conf files from the source distribution to my hooks 
directory.  My post-commit looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"

mailer.py commit "$REPOS" "$REV" mailer.conf

In my mailer.conf I have set up my smtp host for my ISP and verified 
that the diff = line is pointing to where my "diff" program is.  I 
tried setting the "mail_command =" line and commenting it out, no 
activity either way.  I have a single address for the "to_addr=" line.  
I get no emails or errors in my log files.  I saw the suggestion of 
captureing stdout and stderr in the post-commit file with the line

mailer.py commit "$REPOS" "$REV" mailer.conf &> 
/data/dev/svn/palabra/hooks/log.txt

That also did nothing so I removed the "&> 
/data/dev/svn/palabra/hooks/log.txt".  I am pretty stumped on why I'm 
not getting any emails.  I didn't think the python script was using 
sendmail but I made sure it is running and able to forward an email to 
the same address I have set up in mailer.conf.

TIA,

David

Try this (you need full paths, as the environment forked on a commit
doesn't know anything about path locations):

# Put header stuff here in post-commit

HOOKSDIR=/data/dev/svn/palabra/hooks
${HOOKSDIR}/mailer.py commit "$REPOS" "$REV" ${HOOKSDIR}/mailer.conf

Cheers,
Chris

Hook scripts are run in an empty environment.  You need to either set 
PATH, or specify the full path to mailer.py.  You also need the 
Subversion Python bindings installed to use mailer.py.
