Review detail

The Review detail shows the current and historical information pertaining to a code review request including attributes like the review request number, status, summary, description, and so on. This view also shows the list of modified files included in the review, and the activities associated with the review like commits, builds, and work items.

Review Associations

Reviews may be associated with other activities such as commits as well as TeamForge work items. The Review Detail view displays this information in the "Associations" section:

  • Commits — Commits are identified by the commit ID, and may be linked to the corresponding commit details page. Commits are associated with a particular review through the commit message or by inclusion in a post-commit review. To explicitly link a commit with a review, prepend to your commit message:

    [<association_prefix>:<review_id>]

    where <association_prefix> is defined per review source and the review_id is the ID of the review request in the originating code review system. You may specify more than one review in your commit message.

    Missing commit details — TeamForge EventQ sometimes learns about commits before the details of these commits are officially reported by the commit source. Such commits are grayed out temporarily in the "Associations" sections of, for example, review and build detail pages until TeamForge EventQ receives this information. Traceability graphs include these commits, but you cannot click on the commit nodes to get commit details. See Troubleshooting TeamForge EventQ for information on commits with missing detail information.

  • Builds — Builds are associated with reviews through the commit associations that they both share in common. Builds are identified by the source display name (user inputted) and build ID. Builds are linked to the corresponding Build Detail page. See Build detail for information about the build details.
  • Work Items — Work items are associated with reviews through the commit associations that they both share in common. See Associate code commits with other items.

Files for Review

The "Files for Review" section lists all modified files included in the review request.
