This repository contains scripts written in Dart to report on various aspects of code health within the Flutter repository.

They’re probably not terribly useful if you’re not a Flutter contributor, but you might find some snippets here that show you how to access Github using either GraphQL or the REST API.

Setup

You must have an environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN set with a valid GitHub token for any of these scripts to work.

Scripts

This repository has the following scripts.

run_release_report.sh

Usage: run_release_report.sh [to-date] Runs a release report from Flutter’s 1.20 stable release through the given date.

Creates the files notable-contributors, prs_merged_by_label, prs_merged, issues_closed in Markdown, DOCX, and HTML.

Detailed Instructions

Dependencies

You’ll need to have pandoc installed. See here for an installer. The run-release-report.sh script uses pandoc under the hood to convert the generated Markdown to other formats. If you don’t have it installed, the script will fail, but you’ll have markdown files that you can inspect with a program like emacs or vim.

Under the hood, these scripts ralso ely on the following Dart programs in this repository:

• bin/notable-contributors.dart
• bin/clusters.dart
• bin/prs.dart
• bin/issues.dart

You can also run any of these Dart applications standalone; instructions are below, or run a script with the --help argument.

Process to get the release report

1. For run-release-reports.sh to work, you need to have access to a list of organization members. This list is only available to Googlers because it contains PII; for information as to how to create this list, see go/flutter-release-notes-tooling, available on the Google intranet. You’ll follow the instructions there, and create a file called go_flutter_org_members.csv. This file should not be committed to Github, as it has PII.
2. Obtain the commit dates you want which span the release of interest. Typically this is the date for the last tag of interest to the current tag of interest, written in ISO-8601 format (e.g., 2021-05-14T07:22:00-0700). For example, Flutter 2.2 was tagged on 2021-05-14T07:22:00-0700; the latest release of Flutter 2.3 (Flutter 2.3.0-24.1.pre was tagged on 2101-06-25T09:24:00-0700. You can find this information at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/releases. To get a date for something that says something like “7 days ago”, hover over the date and wait about 5 seconds; Github will show the precise date and time of the tag.
3. Run run-release-reports.sh in the flutter-github-scripts.dart directory. You will need to use the dates you obtained in (3). By default, the script runs from Flutter 2.2 through the current date and time. To change this, you can edit the script and update lines 2 & 4. For sanity’s sake, keep the comment and the date in sync. For example, to run the report from Flutter 2.2 through Flutter 2.3 beta, use the command ./run-release-reports.sh 2021-06-25T09:24:00-0700
4. Go get a cup of coffee. It takes a while. The script will print status messages along the way. For a three-month release window, expect it to take ~45 minutes.

Files Generated

The script generates the following files:

• all-contributors-committers.[docx|html|md] – All committers within the date range you specify. Data includes the counts of commits from each contributor as well as the individual commits.
• all-contributors-reviewers.[docx|html|md] – All reviewers within the date range you specify. Data includes the counts of commits from each contributor as well as the individual commits.
• notable-contributors-committers.[docx|html|md] – All unpaid committers within the date range you specify. Data includes the counts of commits from each contributor as well as the individual commits. For this to be accurate, go_flutter_org_members.csv must be up to date. See (2), above.
• notable-contributors-reviewers.[docx|html|md] – All unpaid reviewers within the date range you specify. Data includes the counts of reviews from each contributor as well as the individual reviews. For this to be accurate, go_flutter_org_members.csv must be up to date. See (2), above.
• prs_merged_by_label.[docx|html|md] – Pull requests committed in the date range, clustered by label, from largest to smallest by label.
• prs_merged.[docx|html|md] – All pull requests merged in the date range, sorted by pull request number.
• issues_closed.[docx|html|md] All issues closed in the date range, sorted by the issue number.

If you’re doing this as part of a real release, you should save these results. Googlers can save these files For housekeeping; these should be copied to a new release directory on Flutter’s shared drive. This link is only available to Googlers.

The script generates output in DOCX, Markdown and HTML formats. You can immediately import the .docx files into Google Drive for easy viewing, copying, and pasting with formatting.

Some files, notably prs_merged_by_label and prs_merged, may require light editing to get them in the format required for the PR to the web site. See an existing release notes doc, like website/src/docs/development/tools/sdk/release-notes/release-notes-2.2.0.md for an example.

Notes

As of Dart 2.14, there’s an issue with a dependency of a dependency (the package uuid) that has yet to be properly migrated. KF6GPE hasn’t had time to fix this, and has instead chosen to pin the Dart version in pubspec.yaml to Dart 2.13.4. This is the version of Dart shipping with Flutter 2.2, so for the next stable release, you should be able to use that version of Dart. This and the dependency scripts may not work for you after that unless you pin the Dart version.

The scripts occasionally time out when Github is being cranky, and you’ll see errors. Don’t panic; just go for a walk and re-run the script.
