These are pretty simple to convert as they are straightforward: an
item is added to a work queue (table), then a cron regularly scans
through the table executing the items and deleting them.
That means the cron trigger can just be added on `create` and things
should work out fine.
There's just two wrinkles in the port_forward cron:
- It can be requeued in the future, so needs a conditional trigger-ing
in `write`.
- It is disabled during freeze (maybe something to change), as a
result triggers don't enqueue at all, so we need to immediately
trigger after freeze to force the cron re-enabling it.
Previously the mergebot would only sync the head commit, but synching
more is useful.
Also update the final sanity check on staging:
- as with check, update the message & target branch
- reset PR state and post a message when updating message instead of
doing so silently
Note: maybe only fail the staging if the message is updated *and*
relevant to staging (aka there's a merge method and it's not
`rebase`)?
Fixes#680
Stop *staging* release PRs: they are normally fairly simple and should
not fail their staging outside of unreliable tests (or possibly a few
edge cases e.g. forgot one version change thing), however staging them
creates the possibility of a "version hole" on the release branch
which is undesirable.
Instead, immediately and unconditionally push the release commits onto
the newly created branches, if there are things which don't work they
can be fixed afterwards (and the process refined, maybe).
Also add the same feature for *bump* PRs, with the difference that the
bump PRs are not created / requested by default (they have to be opted
in individually).
For convenience, add a feature which automatically finds the PRs via
inputting the label (not really tested yet).
Closes#603
The freeze wizard has support for merging freeze / release PRs on each
of the newly created branches. But since this would be done by, well,
merging, those PRs would get forward-ported to master, and would have
to be closed there.
This creates additional work for the freeze master, and noise /
parasitic PRs.
Obviously it's possible for the freeze master to set some nonsense `up
to` (nonsense because the "real" limit doesn't exist yet at that
point), but really it never makes any sense to forward port release
PRs, so the wizard should do it.
Provides a less manual interface for creating the freeze:
* takes the name of the branch to create
* takes any number of PRs which must be part of the freeze
* takes PRs representing the HEADs of the new branches
Then essentially takes care of the test.
Implementation of the actual wizard is not trivial but fairly
straightforward and linear, biggest issue is not being able to
`project_id.branch_ids[1]` to get the new branch, not sure why but it
seems to ignore the ordering, clearing the cache doens't fix it.
When creating the branches, add a sleep after each one for secondary
rate limiting purposes. Same when deleting branches.
Also the forwardbot has been updated to disable the forwardport cron
while a freeze is ongoing, this simplifies the freezing process.
Note: after recommendation of @aab-odoo, tried using `_applyChanges`
in `_checkState` but it simply did not work: the two relational fields
got completely frozen and were impossible to update, which is less
than ideal. Oh well, hopefully it works well enough like this for now.
