Description

The Problem

Two problems we have dealt with recently:

  • A commit was attached to an issue that was already released. Thus the commit was left out of the build it was intended for.
  • A commit for an issue got merged that was not attached to the issue. This commit was also left out of a build.

Solution

The solution we'd like to propose is to validate that each commit message is:

  • attached to an issue
  • the issue is in the correct state (NEW, ASSIGNED, POST, or MODIFIED)

We discussed that this should be non-blocking as sometimes commits for small items (fixing typos) don't need an issue. However, this is tricky as Travis can only pass/fail PRs.

I'd propose that commit messages that aren't attached to issues have the tag "#noissue" in them. This would exclude them from this validation.
