Check gate status for a Bitbucket PR by resolving the PR head commit, finding the gate merge commit, inspecting builds on that merge commit, and summarizing root-cause failures with actionable next steps.
# PR Gate Check ## Overview Use this workflow when asked for gate status of a PR. Usually the builds are tied to a merge commit generated on Bitbucket, so this skill goes through finding the remote merge commit. ## Workflow 1. Get PR commits and identify PR head commit (first commit in `gdev-cli bitbucket commits` output): ```bash gdev-cli bitbucket commits --project=G --repo=graalpython --pullrequest=<PR_ID> --all --json ``` 2. Fetch refs and locate merge commit whose parent includes PR head: ```bash git ls-remote origin 'refs/pull-requests/<PR_ID>/*' git fetch --no-tags origin '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*' --prune git rev-list --all --parents | rg ' <PR_HEAD_SHA>( |$)' ``` Pick the merge commit where one parent is `<PR_HEAD_SHA>` and the other is the target branch tip at merge time. If you cannot find it this way, another heuristic is to take the branch name and append `_gate` - that usually has the merge commit we want as tip. 3. Check builds on that merge commit: ```bash gdev-cli bitbucket get-builds --commit=<MERGE_SHA> --all --format=key,state,url ``` 4. Separate root failures from fan-out failures: - `FAILED` + `/builders/.../builds/...` URL: executed failed build (root failure candidate). - `FAILED` + `build_request?brid=` URL: usually not-run/downstream due to earlier failure. 5. Inspect root failed build logs and extract exact failing test/error: - Open build URL and `Run executor` stdio log. - Capture failing test id, traceback/assertion, and command context. 6. Report back: - PR head SHA - merge SHA + parents (target parent + PR parent) - build summary counts - root cause failure(s) - fix options and next action question ## Output Template 1. `PR head:` `<sha>` 2. `Gate merge commit:` `<sha>` (`parent1=<target_sha>`, `parent2=<pr_sha>`) 3. `Builds:` `<total>` total, `<success>` successful, `<failed>` failed 4. `Root failure(s):` - `<build key>`: `<error summary>` - `<failing test/path>` - `<build url>` 5. `Proposed fixes:` short list 6. Ask user what to do next. ## Guardrails - Do not conclude from PR commit statuses alone; always resolve and inspect merge-commit builds. - If many builds are failed but only one executed failure exists, treat that one as primary cause. - Keep proposed fixes minimal and scoped to observed failure.
