Description
GitHub has added a feature called "merge queues" (docs) that feel like a very good solution to some of the race condition issues with automatic PRs I've encountered on https://github.com/openedx/openedx-translations/
When adding a PR to a merge queue, it will try to get the CLA status, but the hook will never return anything
I have added "Merge groups" to the events that trigger openedx-webhooks, but I have not started looking into what changes need to happen in code here to allow running the CLA check for PRs in a queue.
Acceptance Criteria:
- When a PR is added to a merge queue, the CLA check runs and correctly reports the status.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start in the openedx-webhooks code that handles GitHub webhook events, tracing the existing pull-request CLA check flow and the newly mentioned Merge groups event. Compare how queued merge-group pull requests are represented with ordinary pull requests. Done means a PR added to a merge queue triggers the CLA check and reports its status correctly; verify this with the project's available tests or webhook checks.
