FAQ

How is a label interpreted ?

You may see labels defined as S0-design. It is made of a label code: S, a number: 0 and some description. The rules **only apply to the part of the label without the description and the label above will simply be considered as S0. Should the description change, the rules would remain unaffected.

What are rules ?

Rules are defined in a YAML files and describe:

• the name of the rule
• the conditions of the rule (for instance, some rules only apply if a specific label is present)
• the conditions for a set of labels to be valid. For instance, you will not be able to have C1-low and C5-high for a given PR. You will have to chose one or the other and the rules will enforce this

Where can I find the source of the rules ?

Look for the specs_<name>.yaml files in here.

Are there tests to check those rules ?

Absolutly, look for the tests_<name>.yaml files in here.

Where can I report issues/doubts I have about some rules ?

You can open a new issue in the labels repository.

What happens when rules fail ?

If you label your PR with an invalid set of labels, the CI will fail and tell you what the issue is. You can see an example here where a B label was missing.
