I want to create a small bash script that checks whether a pull request is started from the correct branches, or exits on error if it is not.
This was my final attempt/iteration before I posted this question:
if [[ -n $(System.PullRequest.TargetBranch) ]]&&[[ "$(System.PullRequest.TargetBranch)"!="refs/heads/master" ]]; then echo "$(System.PullRequest.TargetBranch)"!="refs/heads/master" echo "Branch $(System.PullRequest.TargetBranch) is not master, proceed." exit 0 fi if [ -n $(system.pullRequest.sourceBranch) ]; then if [ "$(system.pullRequest.sourceBranch)"!="refs/heads/hotfixes/"* ]&&[ "$(system.pullRequest.sourceBranch)"!="refs/heads/develop" ]; then echo "Only hotfixes and develop are allowed to be pulled to the master branch" exit 1 else echo "$(system.pullRequest.sourceBranch) is allowed to be pulled to the master branch" fi else echo "variable does not exists" fi Currently I am testing/building this script and I expect an exit 1 in my test case. But I am getting the following output:
refs/heads/master!=refs/heads/master Branch refs/heads/master is not master, proceed. I am guessing that I am doing something wrong with the string comparison statements (not yet to mention the hotfixes startswith check later on). But I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I tried multiple variations, some give other errors. I have no idea where to be going from here.
As can be seen from the output, the two strings that are compared are in fact the same. So I am not sure where this is going wrong.
