This MR adds support for in-line comments in the review pane. This allows you to view comments (as diagnostics) directly in the Neovim buffers that you are reviewing. You can then jump to them directly in the discussion tree if you want to reply, edit, and so forth.

|
- Read and Edit an MR description
|
|
- Approve or revoke approval for an MR
|
|
- Add or remove reviewers and assignees
|
|
- Resolve, reply to, and unresolve discussion threads

|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- <a href="https://go.dev/">Go</a> >= v1.19
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
1. Install Go
|
|
2. Add configuration (see Installation section)
|
|
3. Checkout your feature branch: `git checkout feature-branch`
|
|
4. Open Neovim
|
|
5. Run `:lua require("gitlab").review()` to open the reviewer pane
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
With <a href="https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim">Lazy</a>:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
return {
|
|
"harrisoncramer/gitlab.nvim",
|
|
dependencies = {
|
|
"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
|
|
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
|
|
"sindrets/diffview.nvim",
|
|
"stevearc/dressing.nvim", -- Recommended but not required. Better UI for pickers.
|
|
enabled = true,
|
|
},
|
|
build = function () require("gitlab.server").build(true) end, -- Builds the Go binary
|
|
config = function()
|
|
require("gitlab").setup()
|
|
end,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And with Packer:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
use {
|
|
'harrisoncramer/gitlab.nvim',
|
|
requires = {
|
|
"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
|
|
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
|
|
"sindrets/diffview.nvim",
|
|
"stevearc/dressing.nvim",
|
|
},
|
|
run = function() require("gitlab.server").build(true) end,
|
|
config = function()
|
|
require("gitlab").setup()
|
|
end,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Project Configuration
|
|
|
|
This plugin requires an <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html#create-a-personal-access-token">auth token</a> to connect to Gitlab. The token can be set in the root directory of the project in a `.gitlab.nvim` environment file, or can be set via a shell environment variable called `GITLAB_TOKEN` instead. If both are present, the `.gitlab.nvim` file will take precedence.
|
|
|
|
Optionally provide a GITLAB_URL environment variable (or gitlab_url value in the `.gitlab.nvim` file) to connect to a self-hosted Gitlab instance. This is optional, use ONLY for self-hosted instances.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
auth_token=your_gitlab_token
|
|
gitlab_url=https://my-personal-gitlab-instance.com/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to write these into a dotfile, you may provide them via shell variables. These will be overridden by the dotfile if it is present:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export GITLAB_TOKEN="your_gitlab_token"
|
|
export GITLAB_URL="https://my-personal-gitlab-instance.com/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuring the Plugin
|
|
|
|
Here is the default setup function. All of these values are optional, and if you call this function with no values the defaults will be used:
|
|
|
|

}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
First, check out the branch that you want to review locally.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git checkout feature-branch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open Neovim. To begin, try running the `summary` command or the `review` command.
|
|
|
|
### Summary
|
|
|
|
The `summary` action will open the MR title and description.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").summary()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After editing the description or title, you may save your changes via the `settings.popup.perform_action` keybinding.
|
|
|
|
### Reviewing Diffs
|
|
|
|
The `review` action will open a diff of the changes. You can leave comments using the `create_comment` action. In visual mode, add multiline comments with the `create_multiline_comment` command, and add suggested changes with the `create_comment_suggestion` command.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").review()
|
|
require("gitlab").create_comment()
|
|
require("gitlab").create_multiline_comment()
|
|
require("gitlab").create_comment_suggestion()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For suggesting changes you can use `create_comment_suggestion` in visual mode which works similar to `create_multiline_comment` but prefills the comment window with Gitlab's [suggest changes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/reviews/suggestions.html) code block with prefilled code from the visual selection.
|
|
|
|
### Discussions and Notes
|
|
|
|
Gitlab groups threads of comments together into "discussions."
|
|
|
|
To display all discussions for the current MR, use the `toggle_discussions` action, which will show the discussions in a split window.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").toggle_discussions()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can jump to the comment's location in the reviewer window by using the `state.settings.discussion_tree.jump_to_reviewer` key, or the actual file with the 'state.settings.discussion_tree.jump_to_file' key.
|
|
|
|
Within the discussion tree, you can delete/edit/reply to comments with the `state.settings.discussion_tree.SOME_ACTION` keybindings.
|
|
|
|
#### Notes
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to create a note in an MR (like a comment, but not linked to a specific line) use the `create_note` action. The same keybindings for delete/edit/reply are available on the note tree.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").create_note()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Discussions signs and diagnostics
|
|
|
|
By default when reviewing files you will see signs and diagnostics ( if enabled in configuration ). When cursor is on diagnostic line you can view discussion thread by using `vim.diagnostic.show`. You can also jump to discussion tree where you can reply, edit or delete discussion.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").move_to_discussion_tree_from_diagnostic()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `discussion_sign` configuration controls the display of signs for discussions. The `enabled` option turns on/off the signs. `text` sets the sign text. `linehl`, `texthl`, `culhl`, and `numhl` customize the line highlighting, text highlighting, column highlighting, and number highlighting respectively. Keep in mind that these can be overridden by other configuration (for example diffview.nvim highlights). `priority` controls the sign priority order (when multiple signs are placed on the same line, the sign with highest priority is used). The `helper_signs` table configures additional signs for multiline discussions in order to show the whole context. `enabled` turns on/off the helper signs. `start`, `mid`, and `end` set the helper sign text.
|
|
|
|
The `discussion_diagnostic` configuration customizes the diagnostic display for discussions. The `enabled` option turns on/off the diagnostics. `severity` sets the diagnostic severity level and should be set to one of `vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR`, `vim.diagnostic.severity.WARN`, or `vim.diagnostic.severity.INFO`, `vim.diagnostic.severity.HINT`. `code` specifies a diagnostic code. `display_opts` configures the diagnostic display options where you can configure values like (this is dirrectly used as opts in vim.diagnostic.set):
|
|
|
|
- `virtual_text` - Show virtual text for diagnostics.
|
|
- `underline` - Underline text for diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
Diagnostics for discussions use the `gitlab_discussion` namespace. See `:h vim.diagnostic.config` and `:h diagnostic-structure` for more details.
|
|
|
|
Signs and diagnostics have common settings in `discussion_sign_and_diagnostics`. This allows customizing if discussions that are resolved or no longer relevant should still display visual indicators in the editor:
|
|
|
|
- `skip_resolved_discussion` - Whether to skip showing signs and diagnostics for resolved discussions. Default is `false`, meaning signs and diagnostics will be shown for resolved discussions.
|
|
- `skip_old_revision_discussion` - Whether to skip showing signs and diagnostics for discussions on outdated diff revisions. Default is `true`, meaning signs and diagnostics won't be shown for discussions no longer relevant to the current diff.
|
|
|
|
#### Limitations
|
|
|
|
When checking multiline diagnostic the cursor must be on the "main" line of diagnostic -> where the `discussion_sign.text` is shown otherwise `vim.diagnostic.show` and `jump_to_discussion_tree_from_diagnostic` will not work.
|
|
|
|
### Uploading Files
|
|
|
|
To attach a file to an MR description, reply, comment, and so forth use the `settings.popup.perform_linewise_action` keybinding when the the popup is open. This will open a picker that will look in the directory you specify in the `settings.attachment_dir` folder (this must be an absolute path) for files.
|
|
|
|
When you have picked the file, it will be added to the current buffer at the current line.
|
|
|
|
Use the `settings.popup.perform_action` to send the changes to Gitlab.
|
|
|
|
### MR Approvals
|
|
|
|
You can approve or revoke approval for an MR with the `approve` and `revoke` actions respectively.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").approve()
|
|
require("gitlab").revoke()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pipelines
|
|
|
|
You can view the status of the pipeline for the current MR with the `pipeline` action.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").pipeline()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To re-trigger failed jobs in the pipeline manually, use the `settings.popup.perform_action` keybinding. To open the log trace of a job in a new Neovim buffer, use your `settings.popup.perform_linewise_action` keybinding.
|
|
|
|
### Reviewers and Assignees
|
|
|
|
The `add_reviewer` and `delete_reviewer` actions, as well as the `add_assignee` and `delete_assignee` functions, will let you choose from a list of users who are availble in the current project:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("gitlab").add_reviewer()
|
|
require("gitlab").delete_reviewer()
|
|
require("gitlab").add_assignee()
|
|
require("gitlab").delete_assignee()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These actions use Neovim's built in picker, which is much nicer if you install <a href="https://github.com/stevearc/dressing.nvim">dressing</a>. If you use Dressing, please enable it:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require("dressing").setup({
|
|
input = {
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Keybindings
|
|
|
|
The plugin does not set up any keybindings outside of these buffers, you need to set them up yourself. Here's what I'm using:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local gitlab = require("gitlab")
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glr", gitlab.review)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>gls", gitlab.summary)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glA", gitlab.approve)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glR", gitlab.revoke)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glc", gitlab.create_comment)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>glc", gitlab.create_multiline_comment)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>glC", gitlab.create_comment_suggestion)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glm", gitlab.move_to_discussion_tree_from_diagnostic)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>gln", gitlab.create_note)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>gld", gitlab.toggle_discussions)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glaa", gitlab.add_assignee)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glad", gitlab.delete_assignee)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glra", gitlab.add_reviewer)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glrd", gitlab.delete_reviewer)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glp", gitlab.pipeline)
|
|
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>glo", gitlab.open_in_browser)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**To check that the current settings of the plugin are configured correctly, please run: `:lua require("gitlab").print_settings()`**
|
|
|
|
This plugin uses a Golang server to reach out to Gitlab. It's possible that something is going wrong when starting that server or connecting with Gitlab. The Golang server runs outside of Neovim, and can be interacted with directly in order to troubleshoot. To start the server, check out your feature branch and run these commands:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
:lua require("gitlab.server").build(true)
|
|
:lua require("gitlab.server").start(function() print("Server started") end)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to debug what's going wrong is to turn on the `debug` options in your setup function. This will allow you to see requests leaving the Go server, and the responses coming back from Gitlab. Once the server is running, you can also interact with the Go server like any other process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: ${GITLAB_TOKEN}" localhost:21036/info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
