release-bot's Issues

Pagination for "See All"

It's a bit hard to navigate if you have a lot of repos.

Remove repoLink from database and code

Redundant information, does not need to be stored in database, can be constructed on the go with the repoOwner and repoLink.

Bot sending releases twice

SAM and Breezy Weather

Get rid of update loop

Spamming one release

bot spamming one release, "see all repos" button not responding

Prevent bot to read and reply on any group messages when added to the group

The bot would reply on any messages from the group.

I think it should have a proper command keyword to prevent this.

Update Actions/vm-deploy.yml

vm-deploy show 21 warnings

actions/checkout@v2 -> actions/checkout@v4
docker/setup-qemu-action@v1 -> docker/setup-qemu-action@v3
docker/setup-buildx-action@v1 -> docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
docker/login-action@v1 -> docker/login-action@v3
docker/build-push-action@v2 -> docker/build-push-action@v5

appleboy/ssh-action@master -> actions/checkout@v4 (i think the same can be achieved by using official GitHub actions/checkout, need investigation)

Possible future features

• Run the update handlers in goroutines - make the AwaitingAdd map thread safe, guard against click spam (probably not needed unless the bot is used A LOT)
• Check database if repo exists for other users & it has a new version -> notify

Repo list closes on repo delete

Not sure is it a bug or not, but when i click on delete repo or enable pre releases the repo list is closing. The expected behaviour is closing repo list only by clicking on "back to menu" button.

Error adding repo

Trying to add https://github.com/bmax121/APatch

Same error with https://github.com/janhq/jan

Enable Dependabot for github actions

  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"

Malformed log messages

Some console messages in GCP appear as a list of ASCII characters.

Old release notification

Bot sent older release of TranslateYou.

upd: sent correct latest release, but it was released a week ago

Introduce periodic database cleanup

• Some users are adding repos and then blocking the bot. Their entries need to be deleted from the database.
• Repos can go private and the bot can't see them. Investigate, send notification to affected users, delete from db.

update files encodings

All project files have windows-1251 encoding (except strings.go). Change encodings of all files to UTF-8.

Solution is to create (or update) .editorconfig with these strings

[*]

# Specify charset and end of line

end_of_line = crlf
charset = utf-8

[URGENT] Make notification of pre-releases optional and per repo

By adding another button in the "see all" menu. By default - enabled (to mimic previous behavior)

Features to implement for release

• Implement database updater that also notifies users of new releases
• Address the various TODOs leftovers in the code
• Cron that calls the update database endpoint with a super secret token

Misspell

Ability to send messages in topics

Right now, if I add a bot to a group with multiple topics it send messages only in main topic, even if I run it in different.

I thing it should send messages in the same topic.
