SVN Hook for Updating Packagist

Question

I have a SVN repository for a PHP package that multiple people work together on. We wish to make the package publicly available, so we have added it to packagist with the url svn://svn.xxxx.com/my-package

How do I add a hook to the repository such that whenever a developer makes a commit, packagist is automatically updated, similar to the service hook available in Github?

---

Update

I managed to find the what I was looking for on this page of packagist with the relevant section below:

I have written a script in PHP to do this for me (simply because I am far more comfortable with PHP than python), for which you will need to install PHP5-cli and php curl packages, which can be done on ubuntu with the following command:

sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-curl -y

post-commit file

#!/usr/bin/php

<?php

# Code for sending post request taken from:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16920291/post-request-with-json-body

define('API_TOKEN', 'xxx');
define('USER', 'xxx');
define('REPO_URL', 'https://packagist.org/packages/xxx/xxx');
#define('REPO_URL', 'svn://svn.xxx.com/xxx');


$data = array(
    'repository' => array('url' => REPO_URL)
);

// Setup cURL
$url = 'https://packagist.org/api/update-package?username=' . USER . '&apiToken=' . API_TOKEN;
$ch = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
    CURLOPT_POST            => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER      => array('Content-Type: application/json'),
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS      => json_encode($data)
));

// Send the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if ($response === FALSE)
{
    die(curl_error($ch));
}

// Decode the response
$responseData = json_decode($response, TRUE);

// Print the date from the response
var_dump($responseData);

Make sure to chmod +x the file after creating it.

Current Issue

Unfortunately, this I get stuck with the following response error message:

array(2) {
  ["status"]=>
  string(5) "error"
  ["message"]=>
  string(38) "Could not parse payload repository URL"
}

When I var_dump the data I am sending, it is as follows:

string(43) "{"repository":{"url":"xxx/table-creator"}}"

You can do this by using svn post-commit hook. This code is very close to what you are asking for. It is written in python, and you can easily rewrite it in bash or even php. I assume that you have standard svn repository structure with the trunk, tags and branches directories. Also, you will have to change package name and directory paths.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import tempfile
import subprocess
import tarfile
import shutil

SVN = '/usr/bin/svn'
SVNLOOK = '/usr/bin/svnlook'
PACKAGE_NAME = 'my-package'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    repository = sys.argv[1]
    revision = sys.argv[2]

    tmpdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
    exportdir = tmpdir + '/' + PACKAGE_NAME
    archive = tmpdir + '/' + PACKAGE_NAME + '.tar.gz'

    # Stop hook from running recursively
    cmd = SVNLOOK + ' dirs-changed -r ' + str(revision) + ' ' + repository
    output = subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell = True)
    if 'tags' in output:
        sys.exit(0)

    cmd = SVN + ' export ' + 'file://' + repository + '/trunk ' + exportdir
    output = subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell = True)
    if 'Exported' in output:
        tar = tarfile.open(archive, 'w:gz')
        tar.add(exportdir, arcname = PACKAGE_NAME)
        tar.close()

        # Copy archive to the final destination or add package back to your repository
        # Example 1:
        # shutil.copyfile(archive, '/path/to/new/location/file.tar.gz')

        # Example 2:
        cmd = SVN + ' rm file://' + repository + '/tags/' + PACKAGE_NAME + '.tar.gz -m \"Removed old package.\"'
        output = subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell = True)
        cmd = SVN + ' import ' +  archive + ' file://' + repository + '/tags/' + PACKAGE_NAME + '.tar.gz --force -m \"Imported new package.\"'
        output = subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell = True)

    shutil.rmtree(tmpdir)
    sys.exit(0)

Make sure you add this into the /path/to/repository/hooks/post-commit file, and please test this thoroughly before putting it into the production repository.
