Create a tool that fails CI based on the PR itself

[orta]

So, you'd write a DSL which is given a few ivars e.g: lines_of_code, pr_url, number_of_commits, files_modified, files_added, files_removed

Culturefile:

if (lines_of_code > 20) && (files_modified.includes? "CHANGELING.yml" == false) {
    fail "needs to have a changelog note for large changes"
}

if (files_added.length > 2) && (files_modified.includes? "ARAppDelegate+Analytics" == false)  {
    warn "You may want analytics"
}

Should < be >?

I don't really care about the actual code in there, it's just pseudo code to demonstrate the potential idea.

This can be grabbed now in:

• travis: via the ENV vars: TRAVIS_REPO_SLUG and TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST
• circle: via CI_PULL_REQUEST which is the full URL

Talked it over with Danger, she thinks it should be called Columbo, and be that "one more thing" thing, with one of these GIFs. Given that there's already a ruby gem called columbo, I'll use brew and write in swift. Only wish there was a dependency manager that could do swift command line tools.

Nice – good idea! I'd suggest running it early in the CI process so that it fails quickly.
