RE: restricting close PR

[McFarland, Ken]

Jim,

 

Without making perl change in gnatsweb.pl I don't think thing there is support for this today.   However, you could do something like this in your

dbconfig file.  It's not pretty, but would probably work....but you'll need to keep an updated list of people not allowed to close a PR in here  (not

a great solution)  I don't to this exactly, but do change other fields based on certain state changes.  I didn't try this, but tweaked mine a bit for

this example.... I think this would work for you to block say user kmcfarla from closing a PR.

 

fwiw

 

field "State" {
    builtin-name "state"
    description "The current state of the PR"
    enumerated-in-file {
        path "states"
        fields { "state" "type" "description" }
        key "state"
        default "open"
    }
    textsearch

 

    on-change {
        # Add Audit-Trail entries when this field changes.
        add-audit-trail
        # Require that a reason be supplied when this field is edited.
        require-change-reason
    }

 

    #
    # Change State back to its original setting for the following users aren't allowed to Close a PR
    #
    on-change "(oldpr:State[type]==\"open\") & (Originator==\"kmcfarla\")" {

 

                set-field "State" {
                        oldpr:State
                }
    }
}

Subject: restricting close PR

With gnats-web, is there a way to restrict the ability to close PRs to a certain user?

thanks,

Jim
