Release Bell - Package Updates
-
We use Release Bell entirely to get email notifications across github and gitlab projects. Recently, we have been missing quite a few release notifications. Two separate issues.
a) I don't get notified for some projects
b) For some projects like roundcube, I don't get new release notificationsI found the root cause of both and have pushed a new package 1.4.0.
If you are curious:
a) We made the starred repo API call without pagination! This meant I only got notified about starred repos in the first page.b) Get tags API call also was not paginated. But this doesn't answer why we don't get notified. After all, the first page should contain the latest tags. Turns out, it's not! GitHub API has a limitation that tags are always alphabetically sorted (i.e straight
git tag
output). This still doesn't answer why I don't get Roundcube notifications (because we get it for other projects). Turns out, roundcube changed it's release tags format fromx.y.z
to vx.y.z
. Because of alphabetical sorting, we always got the old tags in the first page and thus never the new tags.Phew
