From 951a99eb112c09844da8de33973e942e6258d17b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?S=CC=8Cimon=20S=CC=8Cesta=CC=81k?= Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:35:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] =?UTF-8?q?feat(changelog):=20Detect=20nested=20merged?= =?UTF-8?q?=20branches=20(B=E2=86=92A=E2=86=92main)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add support for detecting all merged branches including nested merges where branch B merges into branch A, and then A merges into main. Previously, using --first-parent only detected the final merge (A). Now detects both A and B by removing --first-parent and using negative filtering to exclude reverse merges (main→feature). Changes: - Add target_branch input to action.yml (default: main|develop|master) - Remove --first-parent flag from git log commands - Add negative filter: grep -v "Merge branch '(TARGET_BRANCH)' into" - Create test_merged-branches.bats with 12 comprehensive tests Filtering logic: - Excludes: Reverse merges (main→feature) for conflict resolution - Includes: All forward merges (feature→feature and feature→main) Test coverage: - Nested merges (B→A→develop) ✓ - Deep nesting (C→B→A→develop) ✓ - Conflict resolution filtering ✓ - Parallel merges ✓ - Custom target branch patterns ✓ All 41 tests pass (29 existing + 12 new) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../action.yml | 5 + .../generate-changelog.sh | 19 +- .../test/test_merged-branches.bats | 448 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 465 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/test/test_merged-branches.bats diff --git a/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/action.yml b/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/action.yml index c910133..725e063 100644 --- a/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/action.yml +++ b/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/action.yml @@ -24,6 +24,10 @@ inputs: description: 'Whether to download Git-LFS files during checkout.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Address all recommendations from code review to improve documentation and test coverage: 1. Performance Impact (Recommendation 1): - Add dedicated "Nested Merge Detection" section to README - Document performance considerations and tradeoffs - Note: Minimal impact for typical workflows, 1-2s for large histories 2. Document Intentional --first-parent (Recommendation 3): - Add inline comments explaining why changelog uses --first-parent - Clarify that branch detection does NOT use --first-parent - Document the intentional separation of concerns 3. Fix Test Documentation (Recommendation 4): - Remove confusing "positive filtering" reference - Clarify squash-merge vs separate merge commit scenarios 4. Add Default TARGET_BRANCH Test (Recommendation 5): - New test verifies default fallback behavior when unset - Ensures "(main|develop|master)" default works correctly 5. Document Regex Patterns (Recommendation 6): - Update action.yml description with ERE syntax details - Add example: "(release.*|hotfix.*)" for flexible matching - Explain filtering behavior clearly Documentation improvements: - Add nested merge detection to Features section - Update inputs table with target_branch and use_git_lfs - Enhance generate-changelog.sh environment variables docs - Add test_merged-branches.bats to test running instructions - Expand test coverage list with new scenarios All 42 tests pass (29 existing + 13 new) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../README.md | 40 ++++++++++++++-- .../action.yml | 2 +- .../generate-changelog.sh | 10 +++- .../test/test_merged-branches.bats | 48 ++++++++++++++++--- 4 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/README.md b/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/README.md index fe61de1..91b71c9 100644 --- a/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/README.md +++ b/.github/actions/universal-detect-changes-and-generate-changelog/README.md @@ -4,6 +4,8 @@ This GitHub Action detects changes since the last built commit and generates a c ## Features +- ✅ **Nested Merge Detection**: Detects ALL merged branches including nested merges (e.g., B→A→develop reports both A and B) +- ✅ **Smart Filtering**: Automatically filters out reverse merges (main→feature) used for conflict resolution - ✅ **Modular Design**: Split into separate bash scripts for better maintainability - ✅ **Customizable Cache Keys**: Support for custom cache key prefixes (format: `latest_builded_commit-` or `{prefix}-latest_builded_commit-`) - ✅ **GitHub-Native**: Leverages GitHub's built-in branch handling (no manual sanitization) @@ -18,6 +20,8 @@ This GitHub Action detects changes since the last built commit and generates a c | `debug` | No | `false` | Enable debug mode for detailed logging | | `fallback_lookback` | No | `"24 hours"` | Time to look back for merge commits when no previous build commit is found | | `cache_key_prefix` | No | - | Custom prefix for cache keys.
