* don't warn on every PR on the dot every week, instead wait for the
PRs to be "sufficiently old" (at least 3 days)
* after discussion with bugfix, the reminder ping should be sent every
day following the PR being "old enough"
* run the cron every day instead of every week
* add an override context key for test purposes
Closes#198
Working copies were created in tempdir under the assumption that
they're, well, temporary.
However after thinking about it more there are two issues with this:
* tempdirs might not be in the same FS as the cache dir, meaning
meaning `git clone` can't hardlink the repo objects and has to
copy them
* tempdirs are often on RAM-backed tmpfs, which is not great when we're
filling them with multiple GB worth of git repository...
If the default limit of a forward-port sequence is not a valid
target (either disabled or not actually forward-ported to), the last
effective forward port in a sequence will be commented on as any
intermediate PR rather than get a proper ping and r+ instructions.
Also remove a bunch of leftover prints in the tests.
Fixes#192
* a high renamelimit increases the cherrypick runtime and can
apparently fail for reasons other than actual conflicts (cf
odoo/odoo#36893) so first attempt to cherrypick with the default
renamelimit, and fallback to renamelimit=0 if that fails
* in that case, filter out the spam of "progress" messages about
inexact rename detection as it's not really useful. There seems to
be no built-in way to suppress these.
Closes#196
Turns out bare repositories (unlike normal ones) don't have any
refspecs by default. So adding the PR refspec would... replace the
default behaviour (apparently?) and the base branches would never get
fetched at all.
--mirror looks to be an other option as it has a default refspec but
it's a bit of an odd duck: it has pull requests in refs/pull but not
all of them? And open / closed doesn't seem to be a factor.
Attempts to use rev-list seem to work locally but they fail *a lot*
when live. The previous attempt to fix it in
0f4c22490c made things worse rather than
better once deployed.
Give up on that (at least for now?), and just ask github what the PR's
commits are then cherrypick exactly that.
The ping message was not clear
- don't know if anything is needed from the author
- don't know if the last step in the chain
Ping the authors only when something needs to be done (error or last
step).
Do not ping non-reviewers as they will not have the rights to r+ or
modify the PR anyway
Closes#192
There's an issue of too many commits being selected for
cherry-picking. It still isn't quite clear, but the forward ports to
11.0 systematically seem to get everything from
5045b5f4c346e60c9b127403ef1fde453d49396a to the PR head, and that
commit was one of the first to land after the last merge-based forward
port.
So the commits selection seems to behave as if the commits range was
`..origin/pull/36692` rather than the `origin/10.0..origin/pull/36692`
which is passed to rev-list. This might be an issue of concurrent
access / update of the refs (though I can't reproduce it locally,
missing refs generate an error).
This change attempts to "pin" the local branch in the working copy
rather than go and get it from the repo. It's unclear that this will
change / fix anything, but it might just work.
Also stop creating shared clones, that seems like an unnecessary
risk (and might be the actual source of the issue).
The original method was to `git diff | git apply` in order to get a
complete overview of conflicts generated by the forward port (if
any).
However this turns out to have a huge issue in the presence of renamed
or removed files: in that case `git apply` will simply not do
anything, and fail with a completely clean working copy. Which is very
much undesirable.
-> alternative method, squash the PR to a single commit then
cherry-pick that single commit, this should provide us with proper
conflicts & their markers.
Also add tests for conflicts due to deleted files...
* Cherrypicking is handrolled because there seems to be no easy way to
programmatically edit commit messages during the cherrypicking
sequence: `-n` basically squashes all commits and `-e` invokes a
subprocess. `-e` with `VISUAL=false` kinda sorta works (in that it
interrupts the process before each commit), however there doesn't
seem to be clean status codes so it's difficult to know if the
cherrypick failed or if it's just waiting for a commit of this step.
Instead, cherrypick commits individually then edit / rewrite their
commit messages:
* add a reference to the original commit
* convert signed-off-by to something else as the original commit was
signed off but not necessarily this one
* Can't assign users when creating PRs: only repository collaborators
or people who commented on the issue / PR (which we're in the
process of creating) can be assigned.
PR authors are as likely to be collaborators as not, and we can have
non-collaborator reviewers. So pinging via a regular comment seems
less fraught as a way to notify users.
