The configuration of the @PLUGIN@ plugin is done on project level in the project.config file of the project.
Project owners can do the configuration in the Gerrit web UI from project info screen.

plugin.@PLUGIN@.blockedFileExtension : File extension to be blocked.
The values for this check are case insensitive. You can define the blocked file extensions with or without a leading dot. This check only test if the filename ends with one of the defined values.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.requiredFooter : Footer that is required.
This is the footer in the commit message.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.maxPathLength : Maximum allowed path length. ‘0’ means no limit.
Defaults to '0'.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.invalidFilenamePattern : Patterns for invalid filenames.
This check is using `java.util.regex.Pattern` which is described [here][1].
plugin.@PLUGIN@.rejectWindowsLineEndings : Reject Windows line endings.
This check looks for carriage return (CR) characters in pushed files. If the check finds a carriage return (CR) character the push will be rejected. This check does not run on [binary files][4] The default value is false. This means the check will not be executed.
Some checks should not run on binary files (e. g. InvalidLineEndingCheck). Using this option it is possible to configure which content types are considered binary types. To detect content types [Apache Tika library][2] is used. Content type can be specified as a string, wildcard or a regular expression, for example: - application/zip - application/* - ^application/(pdf|xml) As usual, the '^' prefix is used to denote that the value is a regular expression. Full list of supported content types can be found [here][3].
plugin.@PLUGIN@.rejectSymlink : Reject symbolic links.
This check looks for symbolic links in the set of pushed files. If the check finds a symbolic link the push will be rejected. The default value is false. This means the check will not be executed.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.rejectSubmodule : Reject submodules.
This check looks for submodules in the set of pushed commits. If the check finds a submodule the push will be rejected. The default value is false. This means the check will not be executed.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.blockedKeywordPattern : Patterns for blocked keywords.
This check looks for blocked keywords in files. If the check finds an blocked keyword the push will be rejected. To find a keyword it is possible to pass a regular expressions by blockedKeywordPattern. To detect blocked keywords, this check is using `java.util.regex.Pattern` which is described [here][1]. This check does not run on [binary files][4]
plugin.@PLUGIN@.blockedContentType : Blocked content type.
This check looks for blocked content types. If the check finds a blocked content type the push will be rejected. To detect content types [Apache Tika library][2] is used. Content type can be specified as a string, wildcard or a regular expression, for example: - application/zip - application/* - ^application/(pdf|xml) As usual, the '^' prefix is used to denote that the value is a regular expression. Full list of supported content types can be found [here][3].
plugin.@PLUGIN@.blockedContentTypeWhitelist : Blocked content type whitelist.
If this option is checked, the entered content types are interpreted as a whitelist. Otherwise the entered content types are interpreted as a blacklist and commits that contains one of these content types will be rejected. There must be specified at least one blocked content type pattern, otherwise this option will be ignored. The default value is false. This means the entered content types are interpreted as a blacklist.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.rejectDuplicatePathnames : Reject duplicate pathnames.
This check looks for duplicate pathnames which only differ in case in the tree of the commit as these can cause problems on case insensitive filesystems commonly used e.g. on Windows or Mac. If the check finds duplicate pathnames the push will be rejected. The default value is false. This means duplicate pathnames ignoring case are allowed.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.rejectDuplicatePathnamesLocale : Reject duplicate pathnames locale.
When the validator checks for duplicate pathnames it will convert the pathnames to lower case. In some cases this leads to a [problem][5]. To avoid these kind of problems, this option is used to specify a locale which is used when converting a pathname to lower case. Full list of supported locales can be found [here][6]. The default value is "en" (English).
This @PLUGIN@ configuration is read from the project.config, editable from the general project settings screen. E.g. /admin/projects/myrepo for a project named ‘myrepo’
The configuration parameters for this plugin are inheritable, meaning that child projects can inherit settings from a parent project. The mechanism for evaluating the combined parameters follows the standard Project's inheritance rules.
By default, the validation will be enabled for all refs. However, it can be limited to particular refs by setting plugin.@PLUGIN@.ref. The refs may be configured using specific ref names, ref patterns, or regular expressions. Multiple refs may be specified.
NOTE: ref needs to start with “ref/” for name and pattern or “^ref/” for regex matching. When an invalid ref is specified in the Project config, the plugin functionality is disabled, and an error is reported in the Gerrit log.
E.g. to limit the validation to the master branch and all stable branches the following could be configured:
[plugin "@PLUGIN@"]
ref = refs/heads/master
ref = ^refs/heads/stable-.*
Some users may be allowed to skip some of the rules on a per project and per repository basis by configuring the appropriate “skip” settings in the project.config.
Skip of the rules is controlled by:
plugin.@PLUGIN@.skipGroup : Group names or UUIDs allowed to skip the rules.
Groups that are allowed to skip the rules. Multiple values are supported. Default: nobody is allowed to skip the rules (empty). NOTE: When skipGroup isn't defined, all the other skip settings are ignored.
plugin.@PLUGIN@.skipRef : Ref name, pattern or regexp of the branch to skip.
List of specific ref names, ref patterns, or regular expressions of the branches where Groups defined in skipGroup are allowed to skip the rules. Multiple values are supported. Default: skip validation on all branches for commits pushed by a member of a group listed in skipGroup
plugin.@PLUGIN@.skipValidation : Specific validation to be skipped.
List of specific validation operations allowed to be skipped by the Groups defined in skipGroup on the branches defined in skipRef. Validations can be one of the following strings: - blockedContentType - blockedFileExtension - blockedKeyword - invalidFilename - maxPathLength - rejectDuplicatePathnames - rejectSubmodule - rejectSymlink - rejectWindowsLineEndings - requiredFooter Multiple values are supported. Default: groups defined at skipGroup can skip all the validation rules.
NOTE: Skip of the validations are inherited from parent projects. The definition of the skip criteria on All-Projects automatically apply to every project.
The simplest configuration is to allow a specific group (e.g. Administrators) to skip all the rules:
[plugin "@PLUGIN@"]
skipGroup = Administrators
A typical configuration would be to enable validation for a set of branches, while excluding a few of them.
[plugin "@PLUGIN@"]
ref = ^refs/heads/stable-.*
skipGroup = release-manager
skipRef = refs/heads/stable-3.4
skipRef = refs/heads/stable-5.6
A more complex configuration is to allow a set of groups from LDAP, the ReleaseManager and GerritAdmins, to push any content to any file extension but only for the master branch:
[plugin "@PLUGIN@"]
skipValidation = blockedFileExtension
skipValidation = blockedContentType
skipGroup = ldap/ReleaseManagers
skipGroup = ldap/GerritAdmins
skipRef = refs/heads/master
