Moving Monkey quality checks to Renraku infrastructure

Hi,

At the moment I am moving Pharo quality tools to Renraku model. This is a quality model that I’ve been working on and that was used so far by QualityAssistant.

At the moment I’m stuck while trying to do changes in Monkey, as it is really hard to understand how quality checks are made there. @Guille maybe you can advise something.

In the old model Rules were both checking code and storing the entities that violate them. In Renraku Rules are responsible only for checking, then for each violation they produce a critique object that is a mapping between the rule and the entity that violates the rule. Also critiques can provide plenty of additional information such as suggestion on how to fix the issue.

At the moment we can skip the critiques altogether, just run the rules and store the classes and method that violate them. But at the moment I cannot how Monkey in implemented. I.e. where do the rules come from and what output should be provided.

Cheers.

Cool, I'm interested on that. Do you have some examples, docs?

Well, so far I did not yet investigate all that part. I'm actually
experimenting on a new monkey implementation that has the following
objectives:
  - easy to configure and run locally
  - faster. It should be able to run build validations in parallel
(e.g., in my prototype tests run by 4 parallel pharo images are run in 2
minutes)
  - it should enforce the same process used for issue validation and
integration
  - integrated with the bootstrap :)

Are you going to ESUG?

There are multiple places, but at the moment I’m focusing on in-Pharo help. If you open the Help Browser there is a book called “Renraku Quality Rules”. Let me know if something is unclear or missing, as it is hard to write a good documentation in one shot :)

Yes

This is good that you improve this part.
The critics browser was done by someone that was told to do it and not
someone that believe that it is important :)
So it was a good first step.
Now this is good to revisit LintRules. They already helped us a lot.
Rules are really important for Pharo (and you know it) so this is
supercool that you push that.
Thanks a lot Yuriy.

This is super cool: it will change the way we work and make our life a
lot simpler.
