Reviews of a submodule change need to show file change in review
When using a git submodule with a pull request / merge request mechanism enforced (i.e., Bitbucket), when the developer changes the submodule and there is no other change in the parent repository other than pointing to the new merge commit, Collaborator shows no files in the review. Commits are properly listed, but there are no changes to actually review, which is incorrect. Bitbucket, for example, lists the "pointer file" that holds the submodule commit reference. It would be extremely helpful to have Collaborator show this difference as well.cjbourn2 years agoFrequent Visitor308Views0likes0CommentsRework what is "Action items"
Right now, I get an action item when a review moves to Inspection and I'm the inspector. That's fine, but once I send it to rework, I don't want to see it again until its back at Inspection. Right now though if the author uploads new reviews, it shows back in my Action item list. Likewise Inspectees will have their review show as an Action Item while its still in the Inspection phase. For larger reviews this is a problem because they'll start uploading new revisions while I'm still conducting the review. Both of these result in confusion for my team.AJAS2 years agoNew ContributorNew Idea305Views0likes0CommentsAdd a "Ready for Approval" state to defects
It would be helpful if there was a third state to indicate that a defect has been resolved, but still needs to be "approved" (marked Fixed) by the author of the defect.Currently a defect only appears as "Open" or "Fixed" in the Defect Log. It is difficult to tell which defects have been resolved without looking through the comments, or having someone tell you to look at a specific defect. When there are a lot of defects in the Defect Log, a third state to filter on would make it easy to identify those defects that need to be marked Fixed. Maybe this could also be shown with a different color bug, instead of red or green.kschmidt2 years agoRegular VisitorAccepted for Discussion908Views0likes2CommentsMultiple Creators filter for a report

Currently a pull request from Bitbucket can only be added to the Remote System Links section automatically when the pull request is created, and there isn't a way to add a link to a pull request manually. Is it possible to make an update that allows linking of more than one pull request in a single review? In the case of making small related changes across multiple repositories, it would be very beneficial to be able to include more than one pull request in a single review, to allow those changes to be reviewed as a set.kschmidt12 months agoRegular VisitorImplemented1.4KViews0likes4CommentsAdd sort functionality to client GUI

In a large review with many files and multiple participants, if you are not the first or last participant, it is hard to know which column is yours in the list. This makes it difficult to see if you have already accepted a review which causes unnecessary scrolling. A few possible solutions: Always make the logged in participant the first column of the list of participants. May not work well when someone how isn't an participant of the review is looking at the review, but this is rare and they probably aren't looking to see what files they haven't reviewed. Draw the left and right column lines with a heavier weight.

I would like to suggest that removing of names can't happen without a confirmation. This is especially true when the removal of the name will allow the review to be completed prematurely. If there was a confirmation screen that popped up that said "Are you sure you want to delete this person even if the review will complete at this time, and in order to re-open the review you will need the assistance of an admin?" We have had several recent examples where a participant was removed from the review before the replacement participant was added, and the review ended prematurely and had to be re-opened by an admin. The proper sequence would be to add the new participant before you delete the old participant. The review would not end in this sequence because the new participant would have to approve of the review before it completed. People do not know that they need to add before they delete. The confirmation screen would not prevent this from happening in all cases, but it is better than not knowing that they will cause problems if they delete first. We are open to other suggestions, if someone has a better way of avoiding the situation.pbauer13 years agoNew Contributor496Views0likes0CommentsCustomize generated email
