World driven introduces a contribution based weighted voting system for time-based auto-merges. It defines a process and automates the process of merging Pull Requests based on Reviews.
World driven automatically merges Pull Requests after a certain amount of time, this gives interested people time to review and approve or request changes (in world driven speech: vote). Positive votes reduce the time to merge to speed up the release. Previous contributions are the factor of this merge boost (think of number of commits). Voting against the Pull Request increases the time to merge. Reaching a certain threshold blocks the merge.
The configuration for the repository is:
- Merge duration for a pull request: 10 days
- Per commit time: 0 days
- Merge method: squash

We use a comprehensive labeling system to organize issues and pull requests:
- bug - Something isn't working correctly
- enhancement - New feature or improvement to existing functionality
- question - Requires further information or discussion
- duplicate - This issue or pull request already exists
- invalid - This doesn't seem right or is not actionable
- wontfix - We will not work on or change this
- WIP - Work in progress - do not merge yet
- help wanted - Community contributions welcome
- good first issue - Good for newcomers - straightforward task for first-time contributors
- discussion - Needs discussion or decision before implementation
- dependencies - Pull requests that update a dependency file
- javascript - JavaScript code changes or improvements
- infrastructure - Infrastructure, deployment, and DevOps tasks
- security - Security-related issues and vulnerabilities
- modernization - Modernizing code and dependencies
- technical-debt - Code cleanup and refactoring tasks
- monitoring - Monitoring, logging, and observability
Copy .env-example to .env and add your environment variables.
docker compose upThe application uses MongoDB as back end, the default configuration is localhost:27017
This can be overwritten with the environment variable: MONGODB_URI
Gunicorn serves as the server, checkout the Procfile or use
gunicorn --workers=1 --worker-class=flask_sockets.worker server:app --chdir src.
The authentication and authorization uses GitHub OAuth and API.
For OAuth and merging of pull requests create an GitHub OAuth App
(https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/apps/creating-an-oauth-app)
and set GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET as environment variable.
The GitHub callback path is: /github-callback.
For commenting create and set a personal token
(https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token)
as: GITHUB_USER_TOKEN
Set Session secret as SESSION_SECRET initial a random string.
To disable https in a local environment set DEBUG=true as environment variable.
sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# create database mydb;
postgres=# create user myuser with encrypted password 'mypass';
postgres=# grant all privileges on database mydb to myuser;
Run JavaScript tests with: npm run test
Run python tests with: pytest
To allow different configurations on different repositories you can place a
.worlddriven.ini (see .worlddriven.ini-example) in the root of your
repository and adapt the values.
When World Driven checks new Pull Requests it fetches the .worlddriven.ini from
your default branch (fetching from the Pull Request could be a security issue)
and applies the configuration.
The Front end has three views:
/the front page/dashboarda dashboard with an overview of the repositories and a button to enable World Driven for the repository/:org/:repo/pull/:pull_numberA detailed calculation breakdown for the pull request
Use the following endpoints to more easily work on the dashboard with mock data:
/test/dashboard- for the dashboard/test/:org/:repo/pull/:pull_number- for the pull request view
The World Driven auto-merge service is:
- hosted on Heroku
- tested via CircleCI,
- merged via World Driven and automatically deployed.
