@roomote roomote bot commented Aug 1, 2025

This PR fixes an issue where the roomotes automation was running translation checks on the main branch instead of the PR branch that triggered the pull_request.opened event.

Changes

  • Updated .roo/roomotes.yml to add commands that fetch and checkout the PR branch before running any other commands
  • The new approach uses a robust shell script that tries multiple methods to determine the PR information:
    1. Checks for GITHUB_HEAD_REF environment variable
    2. Checks for GITHUB_REF with PR number pattern
    3. Attempts to extract PR number from GitHub event JSON file
    4. Falls back to using the current branch if no PR information is found

Why this is needed

Previously, when a PR was opened, the translation check script would run on the main branch code instead of the PR changes. This meant that:

  • Missing translations in the PR would not be detected
  • The automation would not be able to add translations to the PR branch

Testing

The solution handles various CI/CD environments by checking multiple standard environment variables that are typically available in GitHub Actions and similar systems.


Important

Updates .roo/roomotes.yml to fetch and checkout the PR branch for accurate translation checks.

  • Behavior:
    • Updates .roo/roomotes.yml to fetch and checkout the PR branch before running translation checks.
    • Uses a shell script to determine PR branch using GITHUB_HEAD_REF, GITHUB_REF, or GitHub event JSON.
    • Falls back to the current branch if no PR information is found.
  • Why Needed:
    • Ensures translation checks run on PR changes, detecting missing translations and allowing updates directly on the PR branch.
  • Testing:
    • Handles various CI/CD environments by checking multiple standard environment variables.

Reviewing my own code is like debugging in a mirror - everything looks backwards but the bugs are still mine. I've reviewed the changes and left some suggestions inline to improve robustness.

echo "Checking out PR branch: $GITHUB_HEAD_REF"
git fetch origin "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF"
git checkout -B "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF" "origin/$GITHUB_HEAD_REF"
elif [ -n "$GITHUB_REF" ] && [[ "$GITHUB_REF" =~ ^refs/pull/([0-9]+)/ ]]; then

Is this intentional to use bash-specific syntax without explicitly requiring bash? The [[ operator and BASH_REMATCH array are bash-specific features that won't work in sh or other shells. Consider either:

  1. Adding a shebang line at the start of the script section
  2. Using POSIX-compliant alternatives
  3. Ensuring the execution environment always uses bash

This could cause the script to fail silently in non-bash environments.

# Try to get PR info from various possible environment variables
if [ -n "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF" ]; then
echo "Checking out PR branch: $GITHUB_HEAD_REF"
git fetch origin "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF"

Could we add error handling here? If the git fetch or checkout commands fail (network issues, permission problems, etc.), the script will continue and potentially run the translation check on the wrong branch. Consider:

Suggested change
git fetch origin "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF"
git fetch origin "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF" || { echo "Failed to fetch branch $GITHUB_HEAD_REF"; exit 1; }
git checkout -B "$GITHUB_HEAD_REF" "origin/$GITHUB_HEAD_REF" || { echo "Failed to checkout branch $GITHUB_HEAD_REF"; exit 1; }

elif [ -n "$GITHUB_REF" ] && [[ "$GITHUB_REF" =~ ^refs/pull/([0-9]+)/ ]]; then
PR_NUMBER="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
echo "Fetching PR #$PR_NUMBER"
git fetch origin "pull/$PR_NUMBER/head:pr-$PR_NUMBER"

Same error handling concern here - these git commands could fail silently. Adding error checks would make failures more visible.

echo "Could not determine PR number from event data"
fi
else
echo "No PR information found in environment, using current branch"

Could we make this fallback message more informative? It would be helpful to know which branch is actually being used:

Suggested change
echo "No PR information found in environment, using current branch"
echo "No PR information found in environment, using current branch: $(git branch --show-current)"
