Accountabilibuddy

Installation

Accountabilibuddy is registered as a public npm package. a15y is an abbreviation of accountabilibuddy.

npm install --save-dev a15y

Usage

Accountabilibuddy is a command line tool to assist in dependency migration. When a dependency is updated, errors typically appear while running the build command for a given project. This tool will establish ownership for build errors via a mapping between errors and the git blame command. This assumes that the errors contain a file path which can be used for git blame.

To invoke the tool:

a15y '{your build command}' '{string identifying error in console}' '{name of developer (optional)}'

Example from a migration from Typscript 2.3 to Typescript 2.4 in reddit-desktop:

a15y 'npm run build' 'ERROR in [at-loader]' 'Hunter Hodnett'

Output from the npm run build command has errors in the following format:
``
ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:68:30
TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:91:30
TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:110:43
TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:121:48
TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.
`

We match errors in the output by defining the string that occurs before the filepath at which the error occurred. This is the 'ERROR in [at-loader]' part of the above command.

If you want to see all errors for a command rather than filter by owner, just omit the developer name:

a15y 'npm run build' 'ERROR in [at-loader]'

Results should appear in the following format:
