Puzzler bot

Puzzle Driven Development concept, pdd and 0pdd tools belong to Yegor Bugayenko. Links:

Introduction:

@puzzlerbot is a bot which provides new ways of managing the puzzles - trackable TODO stub-like tasks which make possible to cut corners in fast and smooth way. Initial concept supposes that the puzzles are defined as specially-formatted TODO items in the project's source code, but practically this approach has some drawbacks:

  • Code base is volatile. Puzzles in the code rarely stay in one line. Some code is added, some code is removed, some codebase is changed intentionally or during merge conflicts resolving - it all means that puzzle in code has no stable identity. It opens plenty of ways to mess the issue tracker or get abnormal behavior of the parsers.

  • Code is not the only place where we could cut corners: we may want to cut corners during various high-level discussions, architecture planning, epic stories decomposition - somewhere where code is not existing yet.

  • The syntax, used by documentation generators (like javadoc, for example) differs from conventions, used in GitHub (Markdown). It makes the puzzle hard, almost impossible, to format properly both in documentation and in GitHub Markdown.

@puzzlerbot's approach is to scan for puzzles in issues or pull requests comments after the issue or pull request is closed. Comments tend to be more stable than the code base, they may exist when even no code is written yet, and they are rarely changed.

Principles:

  • @puzzlerbot is not a replacement for 0pdd. It will be always possible to use them both in one project without conflicts.

Quick setup:

Puzzlerbot supports GitHub and GitLab integration.

GitHub

Just add new GitHub webhook to your project's "Settings" -> "Webhooks" tab:

  • Payload URL: https://puzzler-bot.apps.skapral.com/github
  • Content-type: application/json
  • Which events would you like to trigger this webhook: Issues and Pull requests would be enough.

GitLab

In your GitLab project's "Settings" -> "Integration" view, add new webhook:

  • Payload URL: https://puzzler-bot.apps.skapral.com/gitlab
  • Trigger: Issues events and Merge requests events would be enough.

Misc

Note that you can also deploy your own private and personal @puzzlerbot instance using this guide.

How to create a puzzle

Puzzles are placed in issue or pull request comments. Once the issue or pull request is closed, @puzzlerbot scans its comments for puzzles and creates one issue per puzzle. One comment may have at most one puzzle. To make @puzzlebot properly recognize your puzzles, follow conventions described in this section.

Consider comment with this text:

@puzzlebot FYI

Something weird happened with the system, needs to be fixed.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Preconditions
1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Step three

Expected result: Everything is okay.
Actual result Exception is thrown.

This comment will be parsed by @puzzlerbot as a puzzle with title "Something weird happened with the system, heeds to be fixed." and description "Steps to reproduce..." etc.

In details

When parsing comments and seeking for puzzles, @puzzlerbot splits each comment to paragraphs and classifies each paragraph to one of the types below:

  • Controlling - the paragraph which mentions @puzzlerbot user. Controlling paragraphs are an indicator that the comment represents a puzzle. One comment may have any number of controlling paragraphs but only the first will be taken into account. Controlling paragraphs are not included to the resulting issue.

  • Title - the first non-controlling paragraph in a comment. One comment may have only one title paragraph. This paragraph is used for the issue's title.

  • Description - rest of the paragraphs. They are used as the issue's description.
