Migrate classic "Pipeline for QA" project to to Projects

[churik]

Problem

We need to migrate https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/projects/7 to new project with all automation: 1) when PR is added to repo, it should appear in https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/projects/7 in "Review" column 2) moving to e2e column autonatically runs automation job with predefined parameters

Acceptance Criteria

Projects should be identical, and all PRs should move respectively.

I checked the dokku host where the status-github-bot is hosted and it seems like "Pipeline for QA" no longer seems to be found and we may have to update the bot code to work with newer version of Github Projects.

Since there is a lot of old and unmaintained code in https://github.com/status-im/status-github-bot it seems like a good idea to write a new bot with 2 objectives:

• Triggering E2E jobs the way we did in the past
• Add comments in PRs with build statuses

I'd like to use newer version of probot -> https://github.com/probot/probot/releases/tag/v13.3.7

I'll use this issue to track my progress.

[siddarthkay]

https://github.com/status-im/status-github-bot-v2 made new repo for my minimalistic POC. once I get the basics right and some reviews we could rename and then archive the exiting repo.

[churik]

@siddarthkay bot also automatically add all PRs in repo to pipeline, we also need this.

thank you for picking it up!

I finally got around to finishing a portion of the work here -> https://github.com/sidtech-solutions/github-pr-bot

The idea was to make a new github org and a new repo within the org and finish the work and when the bot is ready move it back to status-im github org, because testing a bot permission change would constantly require admin approval from github org owner and I would then have to open many PRs in status-im org to test.

Majority of the trouble to getting this to work was late realisation that projects V2 does not work with the rest api and required graphql calls instead.

So this bot now adds new PRs to the project board of our choice in the todo column.

[siddarthkay]

Next steps :

• [x] Triggering E2E when project card is moved to E2E column.
  • [x] Tested and it worked here -> https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21268#issuecomment-2413824224
• [ ] Deploy https://github.com/status-im/status-github-bot-v2 on infra-ci fleet
  • [ ] set up a role in ansible to deploy this

[siddarthkay]

We decided to get rid of Dokku host and Dokku services since they are very unreliable, Hence this bot is being deployed via its own ansible role instead of Dokku.

[siddarthkay]

@status-im/mobile-qa : I've deployed v2 of the github bot on our infra-ci fleet and I observed that https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21457 PR was automatically added to contributors column. I also tested moving my react-native upgrade PR to E2E Tests column and saw that E2E job results were posted on the PR.

I still have some other work to do like set up an ssl proxy for it, set up some consul alerts for infra monitoring etc but the bot is useable for now and currently running.

[siddarthkay]

When I attempted to deploy the ssl proxy and use sghb.status.im instead of smee.io url provided by probot I faced the following issues :

• The docker logs for status-github-bot-v2 were flooded with errors like this :

  2024-10-21T12:17:04.797910+00:00 docker/status-github-bot[1006351]: 
  {"level":50,"time":1729513024797,"pid":36,"hostname":"acfa2c2fba9c","name":"probot","name":"server",
  "type":"error","message":"Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames: 
  Host: sghb.status.im. is not in the cert's altnames: DNS:acid.info, DNS:*.acid.info, DNS:dev.acid.info"}

• after running ansible-playbook there was no nginx conf for sghb.status.im

  jakubgs@node-02.do-ams3.proxy.sites:~ % sudo cat /etc/nginx/proxy-sites/sghb.status.im.conf        
  cat: /etc/nginx/proxy-sites/sghb.status.im.conf: No such file or directory

  link to draft ansible playbook changes -> https://github.com/status-im/infra-ci/pull/160/files terraform changes were applied.

I am debugging further on why infra-role-nginx did not create the nginx config
