JIRAs for dependabot upgrades
by Brian Stansberry
We're starting to do a lot of component upgrades from dependabot PRs and I
wanted to talk a bit about JIRAs for those. There's been some discussion
elsewhere, but if you didn't see that or forgot....
Sometimes I or other reviewers of a dependabot PR ask that a JIRA be filed
and a comment added. Sometimes we don't ask for that. Why do we sometimes
ask, sometimes not?
Basically it's because JIRAs appear in release notes, so if the upgrade is
meaningful to end users it should have a JIRA. This …
[View More]means I ask for a JIRA
for production code dependencies, and perhaps for a few build things, like
Galleon tooling, that is only upgraded in the WF source for internal
reasons, but users may only learn about a new version they can use via the
WildFly release notes.
Test dependency and internal build plugin updates are not meaningful to
most users so I don't ask for a JIRA.
The other thing is we ask that the description of component upgrade JIRAs
include links to give readers (particularly reviewers) some idea about
what's come into WF. A release note link or a git diff link work. Putting
those in the JIRA description instead of the PR is better, as JIRA is the
long-term database.
But dependabot generates good changeset info in it's PRs, so if it's done
that I see no reason toe spend energy duplicating it in the JIRA. Perhaps
just say "See dependabot PR for details".
