StarlingX/CodeSubmissionGuidelines

StarlingX Code Submission Guidelines

• Use Gerrit for StarlingX code reviews
• Add the core reviewers for the affected sub-project to the review
  • The core reviewers are listed on each sub-project wiki pages. The list of sub-projects is available here
• All code changes must be pushed to master first and then cherry-picked to the appropriate release branch as needed
  • Exception: Feature branches used during development
• Link your code change to a StoryBoard Story or Launchpad Bug
  • For traceability, always link your code change to a story or bug. Gerrit will update the status of the story/bug automatically once the code is merged.
  • Linking to StoryBoard Stories: Specify the story and task ID in the commit message as follows:

  Story: $story_id
  Task: $task_id

Example: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/590083/

• • Linking to Launchpad Bugs: Specify the Bug ID in the commit message as follows:

  Closes-Bug: $bug_id

Example: https://review.openstack.org/596305

• Pre-Submission / Pre-Gerrit Testing
  • At a minimum, make sure the code builds and runs
  • Verify basic functional testing on a builtISO (ensure the new code get executed)
  • Include automated unit tests when applicable. As we build out the Zuul infrastructure, those tests will run per merge
  • Consult with the component core reviewers for any required/recommended testing
