Hangout with Gusto’s Observability team

We're hosting another installment of our monthly hangouts: For the uninitiated, these are "off-the-record" zoom hangouts for companies to share knowledge with each other around internal engineering productivity, tooling, and developer-experience topics.

This month we'll be joined by Nick Calugar from Gusto, who will talk about how his engineering team does Observability - specifically, how they’ve set up Datadog, and other tools they’ve had experience using. Email Spriha (spriha@aviator.co) for an invite.

This month’s hangout is on June 29th (Thursday), 11am - 12pm PT / 2pm - 3pm ET.

New features

New Pending Status on Dashboard

We have added a new Pending tab to the Queue page. Pending contains PRs that have a ready label added, but are still waiting something in order to be queued (ex. CI is still running or waiting for a review). Queued contains PRs that are in the queue or PRs that are waiting to be added if the max queue depth has been reached.

We now also show a badge max cap reached for the PRs that are waiting for queue depth to recover. These PRs will be on the Queued page.

New APIs

• [REST] BotPullRequest API - Find the associated PR from BotPullRequest number.

• [GraphQL] BotPullRequest exposed as well as its corresponding required checks and status checks

• [GraphQL] Stack exposed for a PullRequest

Slash command for priority merge

Now you can queue a PR with priority using Slash command:

/aviator merge --skip-line

av CLI updates

v0.0.16, v0.0.17, v0.0.18 are released

• New features

  • Aviator API integration

    • av CLI gets new commands that queries PR statuses via Aviator API. This requires a User Access Token in addition to GitHub’s Personal Access Token. You can follow https://docs.aviator.co/aviator-cli/how-to-guides/create-a-user-access-token to set this up.

    • av pr status shows the PR status.

    • av auth status shows the Aviator API auth status.

  • av stack branch --rename gets an option --force to rename a branch with a PR.

  • av stack branch --rename can retroactively follow the branch renaming done by git branch -m.

  • av stack sync gets an option --all. This syncs all branches in the repository.

  • av stack sync gets an option --prune. This removes the merged branches.

  • av branch-commit gets options -a and -A to deal with untracked files.

  • av commit create and av commit amend are added for creating and amending a commit and running av stack sync in one command.

  • Add manpages for each command. For example, you can run man 1 av-pr-create to see online manuals.

  • Add a Vim plugin that highlights the pull-request title and body. https://github.com/aviator-co/av-vim-plugin

• Bug fix

  • av stack sync fetches the merge commit before rebasing.

  • av stack sync works for adopting non-av managed Git branches.

  • av stack diff uses the merge base for calculating the diff (i.e. switched to three-dot diff from two-dot diff).

Bug fixes and improvements

• Added optimizations for Affected Targets mode to work with batching.

• Fixed a bug on the dashboard timeline, should now remember state on refresh.

• Send reset webhook regardless of reset count.

• Fixed bug to parse GitHub status checks in order.

• Fix issue with redirect missing trailing slash in the API requests
