(Changed) Update PR Agent Configuration

MarjovanLier commented 4 months ago

User description

Summary

This Merge Request (MR) updates the configuration for the PR Agent, a tool that assists in the code review process by providing automated feedback, suggestions, and quality checks.

Context and Background

The PR Agent is valuable for maintaining code quality and facilitating contributor collaboration. By regularly updating its configuration, we can ensure that it stays aligned with the project's evolving needs and incorporates the latest best practices.

Problem Description

The previous configuration of the PR Agent had certain limitations and areas for improvement, such as:

Limited instructions for providing concise and actionable feedback
Insufficient control over the number, scope, and ranking of code suggestions
Lack of support for handling push triggers

These limitations could lead to suboptimal code reviews and inefficiencies in the overall development process.

Solution Description

The proposed changes in this MR aim to enhance the PR Agent's capabilities and provide a more streamlined and effective code review experience. The critical updates include:

Concise Feedback: The extra_instructions field has been updated to encourage contributors to provide concise and actionable comments during code reviews.
Improved Code Suggestions: Several settings in the pr_code_suggestions section have been updated, including:
- num_code_suggestions set to 5, limiting the number of suggestions for better focus
- auto_extended_mode enabled for more comprehensive code analysis
- rank_suggestions enabled to prioritize the most relevant suggestions
- enable_help_text disabled to reduce clutter in the feedback
Push Trigger Handling: A new setting handle_push_trigger has been enabled, allowing the PR Agent to handle push triggers and provide automated reviews and feedback when new commits are pushed to a branch.
Extended Review Mode: The /improve command has been updated to include the --extended flag, enabling a more thorough analysis and potentially more comprehensive suggestions for code improvements.

Tips

### Chat There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit: - Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example: - `I pushed a fix in commit .` - `Generate unit-tests for this file.` - `Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.` - Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.` - `@coderabbitai modularize this function.` - PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples: - `@coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.` - `@coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.` - `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.` - `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.` Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments. ### CodeRabbit Commands (invoked as PR comments) - `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR. - `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews. - `@coderabbitai review` to trigger a review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository. - `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments. - `@coderabbitai help` to get help. Additionally, you can add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed. ### CodeRabbit Configration File (`.coderabbit.yaml`) - You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a `.coderabbit.yaml` file to the root of your repository. - The JSON schema for the configuration file is available [here](https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/coderabbit-overrides.v2.json). - If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/coderabbit-overrides.v2.json` ### CodeRabbit Discord Community Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.com/invite/GsXnASn26c) to get help, request features, and share feedback.

PR Code Suggestions

Category	Suggestions
Enhancement	Improve the specificity of `extra_instructions` for better guidance. ___ Consider setting `extra_instructions` to a more specific guidance related to your project's PR review process. Generic instructions might not be very helpful for contributors. [.pr_agent.toml [7]](https://github.com/MarjovanLier/XhprofTrace/pull/20/files#diff-356a4c0b1558da9e4be849aa64f19af78488ec6819f379e21ae93c53e750fbe7R7-R7) ```diff -extra_instructions = "Please ensure comments are concise and actionable." +extra_instructions = "Please ensure comments are concise, actionable, and aligned with our project's coding guidelines." ```
	Enable help text for more efficient PR reviews. ___ To improve the efficiency of PR reviews, consider setting `enable_help_text` to true. This will provide additional context and guidance for contributors, potentially reducing the number of review iterations. [.pr_agent.toml [22]](https://github.com/MarjovanLier/XhprofTrace/pull/20/files#diff-356a4c0b1558da9e4be849aa64f19af78488ec6819f379e21ae93c53e750fbe7R22-R22) ```diff -enable_help_text = false +enable_help_text = true ```
	Enable automatic changelog updates for efficiency. ___ If your project frequently updates its changelog, consider enabling automatic changelog updates by setting `push_changelog_changes` to true. This can streamline the release process and ensure the changelog is always up to date. [.pr_agent.toml [25]](https://github.com/MarjovanLier/XhprofTrace/pull/20/files#diff-356a4c0b1558da9e4be849aa64f19af78488ec6819f379e21ae93c53e750fbe7R25-R25) ```diff -push_changelog_changes = false +push_changelog_changes = true ```
Maintainability	Refactor to reduce command configuration duplication. ___ It's recommended to avoid duplicating command configurations across `pr_commands` and `push_commands`. Consider refactoring to use shared configurations or functions to reduce redundancy and potential errors in command updates. [.pr_agent.toml [36-42]](https://github.com/MarjovanLier/XhprofTrace/pull/20/files#diff-356a4c0b1558da9e4be849aa64f19af78488ec6819f379e21ae93c53e750fbe7R36-R42) ```diff -"/improve --extended --pr_code_suggestions.summarize=true", +shared_improve_command = "/improve --extended --pr_code_suggestions.summarize=true" +pr_commands = [ + "/describe --pr_description.add_original_user_description=true --pr_description.keep_original_user_title=true", + "/update_changelog --pr_update_changelog.push_changelog_changes=false", + shared_improve_command, + "/review auto_approve --pr_reviewer.num_code_suggestions=0 --pr_reviewer.inline_code_comments=true", +] +push_commands = [ + "/describe --pr_description.add_original_user_description=true --pr_description.keep_original_user_title=true", + "/update_changelog --pr_update_changelog.push_changelog_changes=false", + shared_improve_command, + """/auto_review -i \ + --pr_reviewer.require_focused_review=false \ + --pr_reviewer.require_score_review=false \ +] ```
Possible issue	Review the setting of `handle_push_trigger` to avoid unexpected CI/CD behaviors. ___ Ensure that `handle_push_trigger` is intentionally set to true. This option can significantly change how your CI/CD pipeline behaves by triggering actions on push events. If your workflow is not designed for this, it might lead to unexpected behaviors. [.pr_agent.toml [58]](https://github.com/MarjovanLier/XhprofTrace/pull/20/files#diff-356a4c0b1558da9e4be849aa64f19af78488ec6819f379e21ae93c53e750fbe7R58-R58) ```diff -handle_push_trigger = true +handle_push_trigger = false # Set to false if push triggers are not part of your workflow ```

✨ Improve tool usage guide:

**Overview:** The `improve` tool scans the PR code changes, and automatically generates suggestions for improving the PR code. The tool can be triggered [automatically](https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent/blob/main/Usage.md#github-app-automatic-tools) every time a new PR is opened, or can be invoked manually by commenting on a PR. When commenting, to edit [configurations](https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent/blob/main/pr_agent/settings/configuration.toml#L69) related to the improve tool (`pr_code_suggestions` section), use the following template: ``` /improve --pr_code_suggestions.some_config1=... --pr_code_suggestions.some_config2=... ``` With a [configuration file](https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent/blob/main/Usage.md#working-with-github-app), use the following template: ``` [pr_code_suggestions] some_config1=... some_config2=... ```

Enabling\disabling automation

When you first install the app, the [default mode](https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent/blob/main/Usage.md#github-app-automatic-tools) for the improve tool is: ``` pr_commands = ["/improve --pr_code_suggestions.summarize=true", ...] ``` meaning the `improve` tool will run automatically on every PR, with summarization enabled. Delete this line to disable the tool from running automatically.

Utilizing extra instructions

Extra instructions are very important for the `improve` tool, since they enable to guide the model to suggestions that are more relevant to the specific needs of the project. Be specific, clear, and concise in the instructions. With extra instructions, you are the prompter. Specify relevant aspects that you want the model to focus on. Examples for extra instructions: ``` [pr_code_suggestions] # /improve # extra_instructions=""" Emphasize the following aspects: - Does the code logic cover relevant edge cases? - Is the code logic clear and easy to understand? - Is the code logic efficient? ... """ ``` Use triple quotes to write multi-line instructions. Use bullet points to make the instructions more readable.

A note on code suggestions quality

- While the current AI for code is getting better and better (GPT-4), it's not flawless. Not all the suggestions will be perfect, and a user should not accept all of them automatically. - Suggestions are not meant to be simplistic. Instead, they aim to give deep feedback and raise questions, ideas and thoughts to the user, who can then use his judgment, experience, and understanding of the code base. - Recommended to use the 'extra_instructions' field to guide the model to suggestions that are more relevant to the specific needs of the project, or use the [custom suggestions :gem:](https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent/blob/main/docs/CUSTOM_SUGGESTIONS.md) tool - With large PRs, best quality will be obtained by using 'improve --extended' mode.
