SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually handling Mergify CI tasks like uploading test results, detecting changed code scopes, and retrieving merge queue metadata is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when supporting multiple CI providers and edge cases like silent test failures or quarantine evaluation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • JUnit Test Result Processing: Upload JUnit XML results to Mergify CI Insights, evaluate test quarantine status, and detect silent test runner failures where the exit code is non-zero but no test failures are reported.
  • Git Reference Detection: Automatically identify base and head git references for pull requests across GitHub Actions, Buildkite, CircleCI, and Jenkins to power diff-based operations like affected project testing.
  • CI Scope Management: Detect impacted test scopes from file changes to run targeted CI jobs instead of full test suites, reducing pipeline runtime.
  • Merge Queue Metadata Retrieval: Get batch context for merge queue pull requests to adjust CI workflows based on queue position and batch composition. A common use case is a software engineering team configuring PR CI pipelines: they can use this skill to automate test result processing, run only relevant tests for changed scopes, and pull merge queue context without writing custom scripts for each CI provider.

Quick Start

Use the mergify-ci skill to process your JUnit test results, detect impacted CI scopes, and retrieve merge queue metadata for your current pull request.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upload JUnit test results to Mergify CI Insights?

To upload JUnit test results to Mergify CI Insights, you can automate the processing of JUnit XML files to evaluate quarantine status and detect silent test runner failures without manual scripting. This eliminates manual configuration overhead for pull request validation.

How do I detect impacted test scopes from file changes in a CI pipeline?

Detecting impacted test scopes from file changes allows you to run targeted CI jobs instead of full test suites. You can automate this scope identification across GitHub Actions, Buildkite, CircleCI, and Jenkins to significantly reduce pipeline runtime.

Can I retrieve merge queue metadata for pull requests across different CI providers?

Yes, you can retrieve merge queue metadata for pull requests across GitHub Actions, Buildkite, CircleCI, and Jenkins. This provides batch context to adjust CI workflows based on queue position and batch composition without writing custom provider-specific scripts.

How do I identify base and head git references for a pull request in CircleCI?

Identifying base and head git references for a pull request in CircleCI is automated to power diff-based operations. This git reference detection supports affected project testing by accurately resolving PR context across multiple CI environments.

What is the best way to handle silent test runner failures where the exit code is non-zero?

Handling silent test runner failures where the exit code is non-zero but no failures are reported is automated by evaluating JUnit test results. This detects silent failures during pull request validation, preventing erroneous merges without requiring custom error-checking scripts.

Does Mergify CI pipeline automation work with Jenkins and Buildkite?

Yes, Mergify CI pipeline automation works with Jenkins, Buildkite, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI. It standardizes test result uploads, CI scope identification, and merge queue metadata retrieval across these environments to reduce configuration overhead.
