Resolving Rules

Once a bug fix has been committed to the source repository, where a user believes a Signature is now Fixed, Rules can be Resolved.

This transitions matching signature jobs to the Fixed state, according to:

  • Fix Branch
  • Fix ID (aka Commit ID, SHA, or Changelist)

How to Resolve an Issue

  1. Locate the Issue Page, by typing it into the Quick Search box (top-right corner), or by clicking any issue link.
  2. Click the green Resolve Issue button.
  3. Enter the Branch and Fix ID which contains the commit of the fix.
  4. (Optional) Click Preview to see which Rules and Assignments match the fix.
  5. Click the Resolve button.
    • Note the state of the Issue will transition to Fixed.

What is the purpose of needing a Fix ID?

The purpose of users entering a Fix ID is so that:

  • Jobs which were run on a model timestamp at or before the Fix ID will be marked as Fixed.
  • Jobs after the Fix Timestamp will be marked as New and re-run against other potential signature rules.

This allows Simscope to allow users to commit a Fix while regressions are still running, and Simscope will automatically transition fails from older commits to Fixed state.
