NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckIssues - Retrieve count of outstanding RT and github issues for your distribution
VERSION
version 0.011
SYNOPSIS
In your dist.ini:
[CheckIssues]
rt = 1 ; default
github = 1 ; default
colour = 1 ; default
[ConfirmRelease]DESCRIPTION
This is a Dist::Zilla plugin that retrieves the RT and/or github issue and pull request counts for your distribution before release. Place it immediately before [ConfirmRelease] in your dist.ini to give you an opportunity to abort the release if you forgot to fix a bug or merge a pull request.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
rt
Checks your distribution's queue at https://rt.cpan.org/. Defaults to true. (You should leave this enabled even if you have your main issue list on github, as sometimes tickets still end up on RT.)
github
Checks the issue list on github for your distribution; does nothing if your distribution is not hosted on github, as listed in your distribution's metadata. Defaults to true.
colour or color
Uses Term::ANSIColor to colour-code the results according to severity. Defaults to true.
repo_url
The URL of the github repository. This is fetched from the resources field in metadata, so it should not normally be specified manually.
FUTURE FEATURES, MAYBE
If I can find the right APIs to call, it would be nice to have a verbose option which fetches the actual titles of the open issues. Advice or patches welcome!
Possibly other issue trackers? Does anyone even use any other issue trackers anymore? :)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Some code was liberally stolen from Ricardo Signes's codereview tool.
