Bitbucket pipelines on PR - using PHP Code Sniffer only on changed files

[Sebastian Ruchlewicz]

Is it possible to somehow pass only the changed files in bitbucket-pipelines.yml? I want to run PHP Code Sniffer only on changed files while creating pull request. I couldn't find answer anywhere, all solutions where that I should hardcode the path to the project files. Thanks!

you should be able to generate an app password that allows you to call specific bitbucket APIs.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/deploy-build-artifacts-to-bitbucket-downloads-872124574.html

then possibly using the pullrequest API (https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/pullrequests) and/or diffstat API you could be able to figure out what files changed in the given changesets that comprise the pull request?

@mkleintyeap, that API endpoint did the trick, thanks :)

To be correct I used this one -> https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/pullrequests/%7Bpull_request_id%7D/diffstat as it provides a param for specific PR

Can you post how you integrated this in the yml file please?
