This library provides interactions with the GitHub CODEOWNERS file for performing validation tasks that include
- ownership checks
- valid syntax
- missing files
- duplicate patterns
The library has been designed in a manner that allows invocation by a consumer in one of two options. The first use case is through the command line interface (CLI). This allows the consumer to execute a command on the terminal and output a report resulting from the validation tasks. The second use case allows consumers direct consumption of the methods utilized for the validation tasks to allow for writing their own custom implementation on how to generate a report.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'codeowner_validator'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install codeowner_validator
codeowner_validator validate
Execution of the validator is against a supplied repository folder location. The business logic for retrieving said repository is up to the consumer.
Upon execution of the validator, the repository location will be asked of the executor. You may enter an absolute location or you could supply a parameter
of -p or --repo-path to avoid the question in the console.
codeowner_validator validate -p /Users/foo/special-repository
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'codeowner_validator'And then execute:
$ bundle
require 'codeowner_validator'
code_owners = CodeownerValidator::CodeOwners.new(
repo_path: "/Users/poloka/application-config"
)
# return an array of patterns that have no files associated to them
code_owners.useless_pattern
# returns a list of files from the repository that do not have an owner assigned
code_owners.missing_assignmentsWith some projects, not all files within the repository need assignments. In this case, a consumer may define a list of relative path locations within the repository to be scanned for evaluation. There are a few options and any combination of these options may be used
If the initialization of the whitelist object is provided a repository path, the retrieval of the pathspec will include entries from the provided file. This file may reside in either the root repository location or within the .github folder.
application-config/
├── CODEOWNERS_WHITELIST
└── .github/
├── CODEOWNERS
└── CODEOWNERS_WHITELIST
If the initialization of the whitelist object is provided a repository path, all entries from the .gitignore will be added as items to exclude from ownership evaluations.
This option of an environment variable 'CODEOWNERS_WHITELIST' with a comma separated string is allowed.
