New Features

Merge checks revisited (breaking changes)

  • Changes:

    • Add support for ANDing merge checks on same line

    • Allow combining OverallCheck and AllGroupsCheck with other merge checks

    • Changed when OR checks are active (BREAKING)

      • For combined Merge checks with OR/AND, the inactive Group checks are stripped and the remaining checks must be fulfilled, that the pull request can be merged.

      • Example:

@@@JavaDevs @matt @ann @peter @@@TeamLeads @doris *.java @@JavaDevs *.adoc @@TeamLeads (Check(@@JavaDevs >= 2) | Check(@@TeamLeads >= 1))

  • Old, up until 4.x: when a PR contains one file foo.java , the complete OR merge check was disabled. Thus, no merge checks were enforced.

  • New, starting with 5.x: when the PR contains one file foo.java, the matching merge check Check(@@JavaDevs >= 2) is active, while the inactive merge check Check(@@TeamLeads >= 1) got stripped. Thus, it is required that two Java Devs approve the PR.
