----------------------------------------
Summary: Disable JIRA notifications from GitHub pull requests
Key: DAFFODIL-3062
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-3062
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Reporter: Steve Lawrence
The asf.yml file has a `notifications.jira_options` option that says what
actions to take when a pull request is created or updated and it has a jira
ticket number in the commit title. From the asf.yml documentation, the possible
values (of which you can have multiple) are:
* comment: Add the PR/issue event as a comment in the referenced Jira ticket.
* worklog: Add the event as a worklog entry instead of a comment in the Jira
ticket you reference.
* label: Add a 'pull-request-available' label to referenced tickets. NOTE: Some
Jira projects have set limitations on who can add labels to tickets. If labels
are not being added, you can address this by granting the Jira user githubbot
access to your Jira space as a committer.
* link: When you create a GitHub PR/issue, embed a link to the PR or issue in
the Jira ticket you reference.
I can't find documentation on what the default value is, but "worklog" is
definitely one of them. This means every time a PR is created or commented with
a ticket in the title, it adds an entry to the worklog which sends out an
email. We already get PR emails so the worklog entry really does not add much
value and just leads to excess emails.
So we should modify .asf.yml to set the jira_option to something more suitable
that does not include worklog. I think "label" and "link" would be helpful,
sufficient, and should not create excessive emails.
We should also consider if we want to start including JIRA ticket identifiers
in commit titles to take advantage of this capability. Personally, I like our
current standard since I find ticket numbers in commit titles tend to add more
clutter than value. Maybe we could ask infra if they could add support for
finding ticket numbers in the body of a commit rather than only in the title so
we could keep our current convention but get the benefits of JIRA integration.
