GithubReporter

This gem is responsible for querying and reporting on a set of repositories over a period of time. It's been quickly fleshed out as a proof of concept.

The idea is to connect issues and pull requests, but also to identify pull requests that might not have tracked to issues.

Installation

TBD.

Usage

At present there's not a tidy interface, but below is an example I used to build out the initial implementation.

Before you even get started you'll need a Github OAuth key. Once you have that:

export GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN="<your-oauth-token>"

First we want to establishing the reporting scope:

scope = GithubReporter::Scope.new(
  repository_names: ["forem/rfcs", "forem/forem"],
  report_since_date: Time.parse("2022-01-01T00:00:00Z"),
  report_until_date: Time.parse("2022-02-01T00:00:00Z")
)

Then we fetch the remote information:

fetcher = GithubReporter::Fetcher.new(scope: scope)
data_store = fetcher.call

Since fetching the remote information can be expensive, I cached the fetched results locally:

File.open("data_store_dump.txt", "w+") do |f|
  f.puts Marshal.dump(data_store)
end

I could then load the local cached values to run the report:

data_store = Marshal.load(File.read("data_store_dump.txt"))

GithubReporter::Reporter.render(data_store: data_store, scope: scope, format: :csv)

Alternatively, if you don't want to use caching, you can use the GithubReporter.run method:

GithubReporter.run(
  since_date: "2022-01-01",
  until_date: "2022-02-01",
  repos: ["forem/forem", "forem/rfcs"],
  format: :csv,
  auth_token: ENV.fetch["GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN"],
  buffer: $stdout
)

The above will live query Github and render output to given buffer.

Or if you'd prefer to write to a file:

File.open("report-2022-03.csv", "w+") do |fbuffer|
  GithubReporter.run(
    format: :csv,
    since_date: "2022-03-01",
    until_date: "2022-04-01",
    repos: ["forem/forem", "forem/rfcs"],
    auth_token: ENV.fetch("GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN"),
    # This doesn't yet work
    data_store: "data_store.dump",
    buffer: fbuffer,
    labels_to_report: ["changelog: rollup", "changelog: spotlight", "changelog: advance", "changelog: none"]
  )
end

And because I've run this a few times, I added a script (which I need to update the dates).

$ GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN_HERE> bundle exec ruby ./to_run.rb
