CodeBuild / Client / create_webhook

create_webhook

CodeBuild.Client.create_webhook(**kwargs)

For an existing CodeBuild build project that has its source code stored in a GitHub or Bitbucket repository, enables CodeBuild to start rebuilding the source code every time a code change is pushed to the repository.

Warning

If you enable webhooks for an CodeBuild project, and the project is used as a build step in CodePipeline, then two identical builds are created for each commit. One build is triggered through webhooks, and one through CodePipeline. Because billing is on a per-build basis, you are billed for both builds. Therefore, if you are using CodePipeline, we recommend that you disable webhooks in CodeBuild. In the CodeBuild console, clear the Webhook box. For more information, see step 5 in Change a Build Project’s Settings.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_webhook(
    projectName='string',
    branchFilter='string',
    filterGroups=[
        [
            {
                'type': 'EVENT'|'BASE_REF'|'HEAD_REF'|'ACTOR_ACCOUNT_ID'|'FILE_PATH'|'COMMIT_MESSAGE',
                'pattern': 'string',
                'excludeMatchedPattern': True|False

        ],
    ],
    buildType='BUILD'|'BUILD_BATCH'
)

Parameters:

• projectName (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The name of the CodeBuild project.

• branchFilter (string) –

  A regular expression used to determine which repository branches are built when a webhook is triggered. If the name of a branch matches the regular expression, then it is built. If branchFilter is empty, then all branches are built.

  Note

  It is recommended that you use filterGroups instead of branchFilter.

• filterGroups (list) –

  An array of arrays of WebhookFilter objects used to determine which webhooks are triggered. At least one WebhookFilter in the array must specify EVENT as its type.

  For a build to be triggered, at least one filter group in the filterGroups array must pass. For a filter group to pass, each of its filters must pass.

  • (list) –

    • (dict) –

      A filter used to determine which webhooks trigger a build.

      • type (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The type of webhook filter. There are six webhook filter types: EVENT, ACTOR_ACCOUNT_ID, HEAD_REF, BASE_REF, FILE_PATH, and COMMIT_MESSAGE.

        EVENT

        A webhook event triggers a build when the provided pattern matches one of five event types: PUSH, PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED, PULL_REQUEST_REOPENED, and PULL_REQUEST_MERGED. The EVENT patterns are specified as a comma-separated string. For example, PUSH, PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED filters all push, pull request created, and pull request updated events.

        Note

        The PULL_REQUEST_REOPENED works with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise only.

        ACTOR_ACCOUNT_ID

        A webhook event triggers a build when a GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, or Bitbucket account ID matches the regular expression pattern.

        HEAD_REF

        A webhook event triggers a build when the head reference matches the regular expression pattern. For example, refs/heads/branch-name and refs/tags/tag-name.

        Works with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise push, GitHub and GitHub Enterprise pull request, Bitbucket push, and Bitbucket pull request events.

        BASE_REF

        A webhook event triggers a build when the base reference matches the regular expression pattern. For example, refs/heads/branch-name.

        Note

        Works with pull request events only.

        FILE_PATH

        A webhook triggers a build when the path of a changed file matches the regular expression pattern.

        Note

        Works with GitHub and Bitbucket events push and pull requests events. Also works with GitHub Enterprise push events, but does not work with GitHub Enterprise pull request events.

        COMMIT_MESSAGE

        A webhook triggers a build when the head commit message matches the regular expression pattern.

        Note

        Works with GitHub and Bitbucket events push and pull requests events. Also works with GitHub Enterprise push events, but does not work with GitHub Enterprise pull request events.

      • pattern (string) – [REQUIRED]

        For a WebHookFilter that uses EVENT type, a comma-separated string that specifies one or more events. For example, the webhook filter PUSH, PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED allows all push, pull request created, and pull request updated events to trigger a build.

        For a WebHookFilter that uses any of the other filter types, a regular expression pattern. For example, a WebHookFilter that uses HEAD_REF for its type and the pattern ^refs/heads/ triggers a build when the head reference is a branch with a reference name refs/heads/branch-name.

      • excludeMatchedPattern (boolean) –

        Used to indicate that the pattern determines which webhook events do not trigger a build. If true, then a webhook event that does not match the pattern triggers a build. If false, then a webhook event that matches the pattern triggers a build.

• buildType (string) – Specifies the type of build this webhook will trigger.

Return type:

dict
