Push-submit triggers

Use the push-submit trigger type to create triggers that fire after changelist creation, but before files are transferred to the shared server. Because push-submit triggers fire before files are transferred to the server, these triggers cannot access file contents. Push-submit triggers are useful for integration with reporting tools or systems that do not require access to file contents.

As mentioned in the previous section where submit and push processing was described, push processing limits the commands you can run in a push-submit trigger. Please use the following commands only:

p4 change -o %changelist%
p4 describe -s %changelist%
p4 files //path/...@=%changelist%
p4 fstat //path/...@=%changelist%

@echo off

if not x%1==x goto doit
echo Usage is %0[change#]
exit 1
:doit
p4 describe -s %1 | findstr "Reviewed and signed off" > nul
if errorlevel 1 echo "Changelist %1 missing review information."

To use the trigger, add the following line to your triggers table:

sample1   push-submit //depot/qa/...   "reviewcheck.bat %changelist%"

Every time a changelist is pushed that affects any files under //depot/qa, the reviewcheck.bat file is called. If the string "Reviewed and signed off" is detected, the script assumes that the required review has happened and permits the changelist push to continue. Otherwise the push is rejected.
