Check if the issue body is the same as the issue template about request-info HOT 18 CLOSED

So I didn't actually get around to this until now, but given the month of October approaching, I'm gonna open this up to any hacktoberfest hackers! 🤖

The edits to code basically need to check that:

1. if a .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md exists, get it's contents, the code for that might look something like:

const res = await context.github.repos.getContent(this.repo({path: '.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md'}))
const issueTemplate = Buffer.from(res.data.content, 'base64').toString()

@codebytere awesome! If you wanna try your hand at implementing some sort of checking to see if the issue template was actually filled out, feel free!

I still think this is outstanding and requires considering a repository might define multiple templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE. I started on this in #39 and would love feedback to ensure I'm on the right track.

Hi @j-f1, thanks for the feedback!

Issue templates was definitely something I considered when creating the bot. There is a bot built by @kytrinyx that closes issues that do not fill out the issue template. This app although specifically designed for one repo, could easily be made configurable and close issues that don't fill out any issue template fields. So this could definitely be done.

An even more awesome feature would be to check if there are any fields in the template that need to be filled out, then ask the user to fill them out.

This could be a little more difficult to accomplish. The main problem I wouldn't be sure about would be determining what fields are missing? Most issue templates are just text, using your example, but a bit shortened:

Description

[Description of the issue]

OS version: [version here]

Steps to Reproduce

1. [First step]
2. [Second step]
3. [and so on]
Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

That could work, I was thinking before assuming we base this only off of information from the issue template. But where would the above live? In a .github/config.yml file? It's somewhat inconvenient because then what if you change your issue template and forget to update the config file?

👍, let’s abandon the template-checking idea and just check for strict equality.

from request-info.

👍 I'll implement this shortly :)

Thanks for opening this issue, a maintainer will get back to you shortly!

Maybe something like this:

boilerplate:
  delimiters:
    - "["
    - "]"
  fields:
    - description of the issue
    - version here
    - first step
    - second step
    - and so on
    - what you expected to happen

@hiimbex yo yo the electron team might be able to make some good use of this 😁 i'll take a swing at it soonish

from request-info.

@codebytere Have you had a chance to do this yet? If you’re busy, I can try to implement the feature this weekend.

from request-info.

I don't think anyone is desperate to implement this for hacktoberfest reasons, so whoever gets around to it first is fine with me! @j-f1 I'd say go for it! (Also if it's not implemented soonish, I can just do it too, I've just been busy lately)

from request-info.

Yeah i can probably get to it this weekend since our need for it has increased recently

I've created a bot similar to this, but checks for incomplete tasklists and keywords from the config file that should be in each issue. Not exactly looking at the issue template, but could go there eventually. https://github.com/szeck87/issue-complete

Heyy, I would love to fix this one for you. 😄

from request-info.

Believe this was done with #32

from request-info.

Thanks @szeck87

from request-info.

actually I think #32 applied to pull request templates, not issue templates. But there is already an open or for this issue.
