issue-bot

This bot interacts on GitHub issues and pull requests due to multiple reasons.

One example are issues that haven't had any activity for multiple months. Due to the fast nature of fastlane, issues often can't be reproduced anymore after 2-3 months of inactivity. Those issues are closed.

Other use cases:

  • comment on PRs that were merged and will be included in the next release
  • comment on PRs whose content is now available and released
  • adds label to PRs that have been open for too long
  • closes and locks old, inactive issues and PRs
  • responds to issues that contain trigger words with specific message
  • adds label to issues that require a reply from the original poster

Please note that the issue-bot system run by the fastlane core team does not automatically deploy code changes made to this repository. When merging changes to the repository, please let a member of the fastlane core team know (via Slack or at-mention in the GitHub pull request), so that they can manually deploy your code change.

Development

  1. You can use rake to easily run a couple of tasks.

    Run bundle exec rake --tasks (or simply -T) to get a list of all the available tasks and their description.

    You run a task using bundle exec rake <task name>.

  2. You can also use pry to test different methods from the Bot class. For example, to test the processing of new issues:

    1. cd into the repository's project
    2. run bundle exec pry
    3. execute require "logger"
    4. execute load "bot.rb"
    5. execute Fastlane::Bot.new(Logger.new(STDOUT)).start(process: :issues)

    After you modify the bot, you execute load "bot.rb" again for the new changes take effect.

  3. If you want to test it with actual data, you need to create a GitHub access token by going to https://github.com/settings/tokens, generating a new token and following these steps:

    1. create a testing GitHub project
    2. update the SLUG constant with this new project's path (<username>/<project name>)
    3. run export GITHUB_API_TOKEN=<token>
    4. run the steps 2.ii - 2.v
