PR Label Checker

The PR Label Checker is a Github Action created by Tara AI that Checks for Labels in a Pull Request and asks Engineers/Developers to add relevant labels to their PR before before it is merged.

Customize Labels

To customize labels, simply add/remove from the list:

      if: >
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'bug') == false && 
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'documentation') == false && 
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'enhancement') == false &&
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'newlabel1') == false &&
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'newlabel2') == false
      run: exit 1

This will require either bug, documentation, enhancement, newlabel1, or newlabel2 to be attached to a PR.

Required Labels

To have multiple required labels on a single PR you can use ||:

      if: >
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'bug') == false ||
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'allocations') == false ||
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'fe') == false
      run: exit 1

Related Labels

To require labels related to other labels you can use needs on a specific job.

jobs:
  check-bug:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Labels not added (bug)
      if: >
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'bug') == false && 
      run: exit 1

  check-sev:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: check-bug
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Labels not added (sev1, sev2, sev3)
      if: >
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'sev1') == false && 
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'sev2') == false && 
        contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'sev3') == false
      run: exit 1
