[testcase notes] #21: pull request functionalities exploration

[dorawyy]

Scenario

Exploration question:

What would happen if adding more commits after the pull request is made?

• Intro: PR1 works as base branch, while PR2 works as head branch
• Alice worked on PR2 branch, Bob worked on PR1 branch
• Alice made 1 commit on PR2, pushed
• Alice opened a pull request PR2 --> PR1
• Alice made more commits on PR2, pushed
• what would happen inside the pull request?

Answer:

• New commits pushed to remote branch will be automatically added to the pull request

Test case steps

Step0: prep

# create start point
git checkout PR1
touch test21
vim test21

git add test21
git commit -m "testcase21: startpoint (create file test21 on PR1 branch)"

git push origin PR1

git checkout PR2
git merge PR1
git push origin PR2

Edit in test21 is:

The project start point status is:

Step1: Alice, 1 commit on PR2

git checkout PR2
vim test21
git add test21
git commit -m "PR2: commit1, in file test21 line 15"

git push origin PR2

Commit1 edit is:

Project status after commit1 is:

Step2: Alice created a pull request

base: PR1, head: PR2

Curerntly, the pull request page is like (with only 1 commit):

Step3: Alice made more commits on PR2

git checkout PR2
vim test21
git add test21
git commit -m "PR2: commit2, in file test21 line 16"

git push origin PR2

Commit2 edit is:

The project status becomes (after commit2):

Step4: Back to check what happened inside the pull request

More adds-on: When manually merging the two branches, the pull request will be closed automatically.
