Adds a very limited ability to try and look for false positive /
non-determinstic staging errors. It tries to err on the side of
limiting false false positives, so it's likely to miss many.
Currently has no automation / reporting, just sets a flag on the
stagings which are strongly believed to have failed due to false
positives.
While at it, add link between a "root" staging and its splits. It's
necessary to clear the "false positive" flag, and surfacing it in the
UI could be useful one day.
Fixes#660
- Odoo 17 seems to not be adjusting `nolabel` fields to be `colspan=2`
by default, so every such occurrence has to be adjusted by hand or
it gets squeezed in just the labels column.
- Because of the loss of readonly mode, some fields / setups which
previously looked ugly during the rare edition (e.g. Pr titles) now
look ugly all the time. Rework layout and force them to always be
readonly (hopefully we won't need to edit those).
- This is compounded by unfortunate styling I can't find how to
override e.g. char fields are 100% width even if readonly.
- `<header>` system requires some workarounds to have the right layout
and spacing (notably `header` has a bunch of awful rules which we
need to work around via an interstitial div to set up our own
flexbox).
Broken (can't run odoo at all):
- In Odoo 17.0, the `pre_init_hook` takes an env, not a cursor, update
`_check_citext`.
- Odoo 17.0 rejects `@attrs` and doesn't say where they are or how to
update them, fun, hunt down `attrs={'invisible': ...` and try to fix
them.
- Odoo 17.0 warns on non-multi creates, update them, most were very
reasonable, one very wasn't.
Test failures:
- Odoo 17.0 deprecates `name_get` and doesn't use it as a *source*
anymore, replace overrides by overrides to `_compute_display_name`.
- Multiple tracking changes:
- `_track_set_author` takes a `Partner` not an id.
- `_message_compute_author` still requires overriding in order to
handle record creation, which in standard doesn't support author
overriding.
- `mail.tracking.value.field_type` has been removed, the field type
now needs to be retrieved from the `field_id`.
- Some tracking ordering have changed and require adjusting a few
tests.
Also added a few flushes before SQL queries which are not (obviously
at least) at the start of a cron or controller, no test failure
observed but better safe than sorry (probably).
- Update branch name to prefix with project as it can be hard to
differentiate when filtering by or trying to set targets, given some
targets are extremely common (e.g. `master`/`main`) and not all
fields are filtered by project (or even can be).
- Add a proper menu item and list view for batches, maybe it'll be of
use one day.
- Upgrade label in PR search, it's more likely to be needed than
author or target.
- Put PRs first in the mergebot menu, as it's *by far* the most likely
item to look for, unless it's staging in order to cancel one.
And filter it to only consider branches in the same project as the PR,
and a lower sequence than its target. That way it's harder to fuck up
when trying to set limits from the backend.
Computed on the fly for now. Formatted nicely in the frontend, there
does not seem to be any sort of duration widget in the backend so
just display the integer number of seconds.
Fixes#865
Shove a bunch of stuff in notebook tabs, add a few
affordances (e.g. github and frontend links, links from m2m), surface
a few missing fields.
Hopefully makes the backend form both easier to navigate and easier to
administrate from.
Displays the entire batch set as a table, along both
repository (linked PRs) and branch (forward ports). Should provide a
much more complete overview.
Adds a copy of the dashboard as a raster render, to link from the PR:
as usual SVG is shit, content-based viewboxes are hell and having to
duplicate the entire CSS because `<img/>`-linked CSS can't run is
gross. And there's no payoff since the image is not interactible
anyway.
Performing manual ad-hoc table rendering via pillow is not
significantly worse, it works fine and it's possible to do *really*
good conditional request handling (hopefully) because I've basically
got all the information I need right here.
In fact it might make sense to upgrade the regular HTML page with
similar conditional request handling, at least for the last-update
bit if not the etag.
Fixes #771,fixes #770
Thank god I have a bunch of tests because once again I forgot / missed
a bunch of edge cases in doing the conversion, which the tests
caught (sadly that means I almost certainly broke a few untested edge
cases).
Important notes:
Handling of parent links
------------------------
Unlike PRs, batches don't lose their parent info ever, the link is
permanent, which is convenient to trawl through a forward port
(currently implemented very inefficiently, maybe we'll optimise that
in the future).
However this means the batch having a parent and the batch's PRs
having parents are slightly different informations, one of the edge
cases I missed is that of conflicting PRs, which are deparented and
have to be merged by hand before being forward ported further, I had
originally replaced the checks on a pr and its sibling having parents
by just the batch.
Batches & targets
-----------------
Batches were originally concepted as being fixed to a target and PRs
having that target, a PR being retargeted would move it from one batch
to an other.
As it turns out this does not work in the case where people retarget
forward-port PRs, which I know they do because #551
(2337bd8518). I could not think of a
good way to handle this issue as is, so scrapped the moving PRs thing,
instead one of the coherence checks of a batch being ready is that all
its PRs have the same target, and a batch only has a target if all its
PRs have the same target.
It's possible for somewhat odd effects to arise, notably if a PR is
closed (removed from batch), the other PRs are retargeted, and the new
PR is reopened, it will now be on a separate batch even if it also
gets retargeted. This is weird. I don't quite know how I should handle
it, maybe batches could merge if they have the same target and label?
however batches don't currently have a label so...
Improve limits
--------------
Keep limits on the PRs rather than lift them on the batchL if we can
add/remove PRs of batches having different limits on different PRs of
the same batch is reasonable.
Also leave limit unset by default: previously, the limit was eagerly
set to the tip (accessible) branch. That doesn't really seem
necessary, so stop doing that.
Also remove completely unnecessary `max` when trying to find a PR's
next target: `root` is either `self` or `self.source_id`, so it should
not be possible for that to have a later target.
And for now ensure the limits are consistent per batch: a PR defaults
to the limit of their batch-mate if they don't have one, and if a
limit is set via command it's set on all PRs of a batch.
This commit does not allow differential limits via commands, they are
allowed via the backend but not really tested. The issue is mostly
that it's not clear what the UX should look like to have clear and not
super error prone interactions. So punt on it for now, and hopefully
there's no hole I missed which will create inconsistent batches.
This commit revisits the commands set in order to make it more
regular, and limit inconsistent command-sets, although it includes
pseudo-command aliases for common tasks now removed from the core set.
Hard Errors
===========
The previous iteration of the commands set would ignore any
non-command term in a command line. This has been changed to hard
error (and ignoring the entire thing) if any command is unknown or
invalid.
This fixes inconsistent / unexpected interpretations where a user
sends a command, then writes a novel on the same line some words of
which happen to *also* be commands, leading to merge states they did
not expect. They should now be told to fuck off.
Priority Restructuring
----------------------
The numerical priority system was pretty messy in that it confused
"staging priority" (in ways which were not entirely straightforward)
with overrides to other concerns.
This has now being split along all the axis, with separate command
subsets for:
- staging prioritisation, now separated between `default`, `priority`,
and `alone`,
- `default` means PRs are picked by an unspecified order when
creating a staging, if nothing better is available
- `priority` means PRs are picked first when staging, however if
`priority` PRs don't fill the staging the rest will be filled with
`default`, this mode did not previously exist
- `alone` means the PRs are picked first, before splits, and only
`alone` PRs can be part of the staging (which usually matches the
modename)
- `skipchecks` overrides both statuses and approval checks, for the
batch, something previously implied in `p=0`, but now
independent. Setting `skipchecks` basically makes the entire batch
`ready`.
For consistency this also sets the reviewer implicitly: since
skipchecks overrides both statuses *and approval*, whoever enables
this mode is essentially the reviewer.
- `cancel` cancels any ongoing staging when the marked PR becomes
ready again, previously this was also implied (in a more restricted
form) by setting `p=0`
FWBot removal
=============
While the "forwardport bot" still exists as an API level (to segregate
access rights between tokens) it has been removed as an interaction
point, as part of the modules merge plan. As a result,
fwbot stops responding
----------------------
Feedback messages are now always sent by the mergebot, the
forward-porting bot should not send any message or notification
anymore.
commands moved to the merge bot
-------------------------------
- `ignore`/`up to` simply changes bot
- `close` as well
- `skipci` is now a choice / flag of an `fw` command, which denotes
the forward-port policy,
- `fw=default` is the old `ci` and resets the policy to default,
that is wait for the PR to be merged to create forward ports, and
for the required statuses on each forward port to be received
before creating the next
- `fw=skipci` is the old `skipci`, it waits for the merge of the
base PR but then creates all the forward ports immediately (unless
it gets a conflict)
- `fw=skipmerge` immediately creates all the forward ports, without
even waiting for the PR to be merged
This is a completely new mode, and may be rather broken as until
now the 'bot has always assumed the source PR had been merged.
approval rework
---------------
Because of the previous section, there is no distinguishing feature
between `mergebot r+` = "merge this PR" and `forwardbot r+` = "merge
this PR and all its parent with different access rights".
As a result, the two have been merged under a single `mergebot r+`
with heuristics attempting to provide the best experience:
- if approving a non-forward port, the behavior does not change
- else, with review rights on the source, all ancestors are approved
- else, as author of the original, approves all ancestors which descend
from a merged PR
- else, approves all ancestors up to and including the oldest ancestor
to which we have review rights
Most notably, the source's author is not delegated on the source or
any of its descendants anymore. This might need to be revisited if it
provides too restrictive.
For the very specialized need of approving a forward-port *and none of
its ancestors*, `review=` can now take a comma (`,`) separated list of
pull request numbers (github numbers, not mergebot ids).
Computed State
==============
The `state` field of pull requests is now computed. Hopefully this
makes the status more consistent and predictable in the long run, and
importantly makes status management more reliable (because reference
datum get updated naturally flowing to the state).
For now however it makes things more complicated as some of the states
have to be separately signaled or updated:
- `closed` and `error` are now separate flags
- `merge_date` is pulled down from forwardport and becomes the
transition signal for ready -> merged
- `reviewed_by` becomes the transition signal for approval (might be a
good idea to rename it...)
- `status` is computed from the head's statuses and overrides, and
*that* becomes the validation state
Ideally, batch-level flags like `skipchecks` should be on, well, the
batch, and `state` should have a dependency on the batch. However
currently the batch is not a durable / permanent member of the system,
so it's a PR-level flag and a messy pile.
On notable change is that *forcing* the state to `ready` now does that
but also sets the reviewer, `skipchecks`, and overrides to ensure the
API-mediated readying does not get rolled back by e.g. the runbot
sending a status.
This is useful for a few types of automated / programmatic PRs
e.g. translation exports, where we set the state programmatically to
limit noise.
recursive dependency hack
-------------------------
Given a sequence of PRs with an override of the source, if one of the
PRs is updated its descendants should not have the override
anymore. However if the updated PR gets overridden, its descendants
should have *that* override.
This requires some unholy manipulations via an override of `modified`,
as the ORM supports recursive fields but not recursive
dependencies (on a different field).
unconditional followup scheduling
---------------------------------
Previously scheduling forward-port followup was contigent on the FW
policy, but it's not actually correct if the new PR is *immediately*
validated (which can happen now that the field is computed, if there
are no required statuses *or* all of the required statuses are
overridden by an ancestor) as nothing will trigger the state change
and thus scheduling of the fp followup.
The followup function checks all the properties of the batch to port,
so this should not result on incorrect ports. Although it's a bit more
expensive, and will lead to more spam.
Previously this would not happen because on creation of a PR the
validation task (commit -> PR) would still have to execute.
Misc Changes
============
- If a PR is marked as overriding / canceling stagings, it now does
so on retry not just when setting initially.
This was not handled at all previously, so a PR in P0 going into
error due to e.g. a non-deterministic bug would be retried and still
p=0, but a current staging would not get cancelled. Same when a PR
in p=0 goes into error because something was failed, then is updated
with a fix.
- Add tracking to a bunch of relevant PR fields.
Post-mortem analysis currently generally requires going through the
text logs to see what happened, which is annoying.
There is a nondeterminism / inconsistency in the tracking which
sometimes leads the admin user to trigger tracking before the bot
does, leading to the staging tracking being attributed to them
during tests, shove under the carpet by ignoring the user to whom
that tracking is attributed.
When multiple users update tracked fields in the same transaction
all the changes are attributed to the first one having triggered
tracking (?), I couldn't find why the admin sometimes takes over.
- added and leveraged support for enum-backed selection fields
- moved variuous fields from forwardport to runbot_merge
- fix a migration which had never worked and which never run (because
I forgot to bump the version on the module)
- remove some unnecessary intermediate de/serialisation
fixes#673, fixes#309, fixes#792, fixes#846 (probably)
- add formatting for a bunch of backend objects
- add cross-links in order to use toplevel navigation between objects
e.g. project -> branch -> staging -> PR with breadcrumbs instead of
shitty dialog boxes
Relates to #802
- override the staging's name_get to provide a slightly more useful
display_name (though still not great as the staging object remains
quite technical and inimical to human interaction)
- show individual PRs in a batch (as m2m tags) for readability
- update PR views to show the author and reviewer, except in the list
of delegations of users where it's a lot less useful
/cc #632
- code in the various menus added over time through the UI (queues,
configuration, ...)
- update / improve PR layout a tick
- fix "outstanding forward ports" count on the dashboard
- improve hover title / help on dashboard
- add date of last modification (usually date of success / failure)
- make casing more coherent (everything lowercase)
- add explicit note that UTC date on staged at label is staged at datetime
- rediscover yet again that the staging information is when hovering
on the staging *except the staged at label*
- improve `PullRequest.unstage` to always insert the PR at the start of the
reason when cancelling the staging, for clarity / traceability
Closes#560, closes#609
To prep for the addition of the freeze wizard:
* move projects out of `pull_requests.py`
* then realize half the methods there have no relation to projects and
move them to more relevant places in `pull_requests.py`
* update corresponding crons (and tests using those crons) as the
methods have changed model, and the cron definitions thus need to be
updated
* split update to labels out of sending feedback comments while at it:
labels are not used much during tests so their manipulation can be
avoided; and labels are not as urgent as feedback so the crons can
be quite a bit slower
* move the project view out of `mergebot.xml` as well
Convert overridable CI to an m2m from partners, it's significantly
more convenient to manipulate as multiple users can (and likely will)
have access to the same overrides, add a name_search so the override
is easy to find from a partner, and provide a view for the
overrides (with partners as tags).
Also make the repository optional on CI overrides.
Fixes#420
On per-repo status configurations, convert the "branch_ids" filter to
a domain on branches. Since the selection is generally
binary (statuses either apply to the master branch or apply to
non-master branch) this avoids error-prone missed updates where we
forget to enable statuses pretty much every time we fork off a new
branch.
Fixes#404
Adds an `override` mergebot command. The ability to override is set on
an individual per-context per-repository basis, similar to but
independent from review rights. That is, a given individual may be
able to override the status X on repository A and unable to do so on
repository B.
Overrides are stored in the same format as regular statuses, but
independent from them in order to persist them across builds.
Only PR statuses can be overridden, statuses which are overridable on
PRs would simply not be required on stagings.
An alternative to implementing this feature in the mergebot would be
to add it to individual status-generating tools on a per-need
basis.
Pros of that alternative:
* display the correct status on PRs, currently the PR will be failing
status-wise (on github) but correct as far as the mergebot is
concerned
* remove complexity from the mergebot
Cons of that alternative:
* each status-generating tool would have to implement some sort of ACL
system
* each status-generating tool would have to receive & parse PR
comments
* each status-generating tool would have to maintain per-pr state in
order to track overrides
Some sort of helper library / framework ought make that rather easy
though. It could also be linked into the central provisioning system
thing.
Closes#376
Requirement for odoo/runbot#376: one can't expect there being someone
to override CI checks on stagings, so it only makes sense for checks
on PRs, which in turns requires that there could be checks only
required on PRs.
Could also be useful for features like incremental linting /
formatting, we may want to apply checks on PRs which filter on the
lines modified, but not require the entire software be reformatted at
once.
Having the required statuses be a mere list of contexts has become a
bit too limiting for our needs as it doesn't allow e.g. adding new
required statuses on only some branches of a repository (e.g. only
master), nor does it allow putting checks on only branches, or only
stagings, which would be useful for overridable checks and the like,
or for checks which only make sense linked to a specific revision
range (e.g. "incremental" linting which would only check whatever's
been modified in a PR).
Split the required statuses into a separate set of objects, any of
which can be separately marked as applying only to some branches (no
branch = all branches).
Fixes#382
* split action_cancel (UI button) from cancel (internal): since the
xhr mapping is weird, if there are available args the mapper thinks
it should pass the call context as reason which is unexpected
* make cancel a no-op when called on already inactive stagings
* make cancel work when called on multiple statgings
* make computing the active staging work properly in an
active_test=False context (e.g. when it's interacted with from the
form view because that comes from the list view which is
active_test=False, probably so we can see not just the stagings but
recursively see deactivated batches in deactivated stagings)
* don't show the cancel button on inactive stagings
Stagings have a "statuses" field which was shown but useless (as it's
a binary), they also have a "heads" field which only provides a
mapping of repository names to commits.
This change provides the staging heads as a commits m2m.
Fixes#178
This is somewhat less useful with runbot's fail-fast as a runbot
failure (false positive or not) will now very quickly trigger an end
to the current staging.
Still, could be of use.
closes#89
The number is probably the most common search criteria for PRs (to
track their status / issues). Having to go through custom filters to
find one is a pain in the ass.
Already done live by editing the view, but means it's getting lost
every time the module gets updated.
closes#73
* fix "Active" filter which was not updated when the active field was
added
* properly enable it by default instead of relying on active_test
* disable active_test on the Stagings action, otherwise the batches
are not visible in the staging once the staging and batches have been
disabled
The old "sync pr" thing is turning out to be a bust, while it
originally worked fine these days it's a catastrophe as the v4 API
performances seem to have significantly degraded, to the point that
fetching all 15k PRs by pages of 100 simply blows up after a few
hundreds/thousands.
Instead, add a table of PRs to sync: if we get notified of a
"compatible" PR (enabled repo & target) which we don't know of, create
an entry in a "fetch jobs" table, then a cron will handle fetching the
PR then fetching/applying all relevant metadata (statuses,
review-comments and reviews).
Also change indexation of Commit(sha) and PR(head) to hash, as btree
indexes are not really sensible for such content (the ordering is
unhelpful and the index locality is awful by design/definition).
