That's very interesting feedback. We certainly don't have a way to force simulate failure. A related capability we are working on is to also rerun the identified flaky tests X times so they pass. This depends on the capabilities o

That is a fair argument. Not all organizations have the bandwidth to measure and manage stability of builds. Some companies build internal tools / dev productivity team for this purpose. There are always right intentions to comment out

Curious, how often do you see a flaky test in your system? In my past experience at one of the mid-size startups, we used to get a new flaky test almost on a weekly basis in a monorepo. We started the process of actually flagging them as ig

Haha great point. Well from what we have learned from our users is "fixing" test typically end up with "delete most of them". Fixing tests can be time consuming effort. Another way to think about it is, whether Flaky tes

Yeh flaky tests generally creep up in a big service due to several issues. There are some best practices to avoid the tests that requires some discipline and good oversight! We wrote some stuff around it: https://www.flakybot.com

Hi HN, we are Spriha and Ankit building Flakybot is a tool to automatically identify and suppress test-flakiness so that developers are better able to trust their test results. Most CI systems leave it up to teams to manually identify and d

That's a great question. FWIW Gitlab does have merge train with similar baseline functionality. There's two part answer to your question: - even though it's trivial from the face of it, since we specialize in merging process,

Are you worried about market size of developer productivity tools in general or just about MQ? We intend to expand into other dev productivity capabilities adjacent to MQ. Our exploration into Flaky test management is also a step in that di

Wow this is amazing. May be you should add MergeQueue to your list :) - Yeh we define our own pre-conditions because some developers also use it for non-protected branches. The default picks up the Github build-in preconditions and allows y

Interesting, you can potentially use MQ for automatic rebasing as well, but if there is a merge conflict, MQ will not be able to resolve it for you. If a rebase can be automatically resolved, then MQ will update the branch for you.

Wow, that's a great story, maybe we should quote that :) If you are open to sharing more of that experience, I would love to hear that. You can also directly email me at ankit[at]mergequeue[dot]com if you don't want to post public

Yes it's somewhat similar to GitLab merge train. Of course we work with Github. And similar to other comments, there are a few more features including batch mode and flaky test management that make MQ a more interesting offering. We do

<3 curious where have you experience this the most? We are also trying to figure out at what point does the problem become acute.

The product being discussed here doesn't solve the issue of merge conflicts itself, but rather of eventual consistency. Merge conflicts is only a part of it, and there are some heuristics that can be used to reduce those, but eventuall

Feels like this should be a post in itself! This is just my opinion so open to any push backs / comments. IMO the main reasons for source control are: - having revisions / diffs that can be reviewed by someone else - while working

Thanks @timtamboy63, now we know you you are :)

Thanks for asking! We priced it to ensure that it's affordable for small teams and is only charging based on who uses it for larger teams. Would you have preferred a different plan.
109.
by ankitdce 6y ago
Early pricing is always a bit experimental. This was anchored on the cost saving from software subscriptions. There's certainly room for improvement.

Thanks for checking it out @cgilbert3. Yes 2FA is added security for enterprise accounts but makes sharing seats / accounts much harder. This app simplifies some of that process without compromising security.

by ankitdce 6y ago
Hey folks, I built this tool while stepping out of my last role. I realized how weird it was to transfer over the accounts to someone else where I owned the 2FA. The only other option is to remove the two-factor authentication completely. W

Hi all, I recently built this tool that enables developers to automate merge workflows for Github. I am always annoyed that even though CI automates running of your builds, it leaves the post execution process to be manual. This tool monito

Also as a shameless plug since I never made it to the first page either :) Would love some feedback on real-time video enabled multiplayer gaming https://multiplayer.app/ Only Jigsaw works right now.

It certainly needs more help with explaining the game. I used the link below to join but could not figure out how to play. What do the buttons on the grid page do? Might be helpful to post some info.
