WildFly GitHub Bot
by Martin Stefanko
Hi,
we created a custom wildfly-github-bot that is ready to be deployed to
wildfly/wildfly repository when we get the green light -
https://github.com/xstefank/wildfly-github-bot.
It is a Java application that listens for GitHub events and interacts with
GitHub's public API.
For now, it contains two main features:
1/ PR format verification
Verifies the PR is in the expected format (WFLY-XYZ Test). A simple video
showing this in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgD7RhEegdc.
2/ Automatic /cc comment based on the changed files in the PR:
For instance, in https://github.com/xstefank/wildfly/pull/65 or
https://github.com/xstefank/wildfly/pull/64 you can see that I'm mentioned
because the commit changed a file under microprofile/lra subdirectory.
The configuration lives in the project that is utilizing the bot -
https://github.com/xstefank/wildfly/blob/main/.github/wildfly-bot.yml. As
you can see, mostly everything is configurable.
The bot is currently deployed in the custom OSD (OpenShift Dedicated)
cluster that we got provisioned just for this purpose. I would be the main
maintainer plus a few guys from SET backing me.
The deployed bot is configured for the https://github.com/xstefank/wildfly
repository. Feel free to open as many PRs as you'd like to experiment with
the bot. Check the configuration file to see what you can do -
https://github.com/xstefank/wildfly/blob/main/.github/wildfly-bot.yml.
Of course, this is just a start. We can add automatic labels, CI triggers,
review requests (if wanted), or milestones, etc. We are only limited by
what can be done on GitHub.
Thanks,
