Features

🆕 Report results of Add Reviewers action

add-comment action can now report the results of other actions previously occurring in the same workflow.

Why? Continuing our work to split up the add-codeowners action into fine-grained features, we have reintroduced the commenting functionality via the add-comment action.

Can you show me an example?

below you can see the new report-from option that accepts a key associated with a previous action in the workflow. For now only add-reviewers is a valid key, but we hope to expand the options in the future.

YAML
# This would be added within a workflow
actions:
- add-reviewers:
    members: codeowners
    assignment-routing:
      random: 1
- add-comment:
    report-from: add-reviewers
    task: false

This will result in the same comment behavior that you may already use with CODEOWNERS file or the previous add-codeowners action:

Change to automatic CODEOWNERS migration

The automatic process to migrate a CODEOWNERS file, accessible from the in-app DevSensei Documentation, now produces a workflow with a mixture of add-reviewers, add-comment and unapprove actions in the actions section, codeowners and custom-groups in the custom-attributes section, and codeowners-check in the merge-checks section.

This change makes each individual configuration more regular with the rest of DevSensei, unlike the irregular add-codeowners action which combined many separate features.
