Stable Release Review Workflow

Library Module PR Review Workflow

This describes the process for reviewing a PR to a library module.

Application

This process applies when reviewing a PR to the dev branch of a library module.

Process

  • Review changes to imports and verify dependency minimum versions are accurate.
  • Ensure there are no alpha dependencies
  • Ensure code changes have adequate unit test coverage.
  • Ensure any deprecated methods have adequate logs.
  • Ensure there are no breaking changes.

    If this is a major release, then there may be breaking changes. If there are, then ensure the previous releases had a deprecation warning with this proposed release version listed.

  • If tests are modified, make sure newly deprecated methods are still tested and that changes do not remove any test cases/
  • Ensure any added TODO items have not been completed and are related to an open issue.
  • Leave a review to Approve or Request Changes. If reviewing a draft or if unable to test changes, leave a Comment review indicating why it isn't an Approval, i.e. "Unable to test." or "Noted pending TODO"

Exceptions

  • A maintaining developer may choose at their discretion to allow a pinned alpha dependency for a stable release if the pinned version has been adequately tested, and it is unreasonable or impossible to use a stable release for the dependency.
