Bug 120131 – REGRESSION (r154022): webkitbot failed to make a changelog for a revert in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120129

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Tim Horton]

In https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120129 I requested a revert of http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/154399.

webkitbot made the bug and the patch, but the patch had lots of OOPS in it (in fact it looks like it hasn't been modified at all!).

This is not useful.

Is this because the changelog format changed recently? Or something else?

[Tim Horton]

update_with_unreviewed_message looks for a line that no longer exists:

def update_with_unreviewed_message(self, message):
        first_boilerplate_line_regexp = re.compile(
                "%sNeed a short description \(OOPS!\)\." % self._changelog_indent)

Dino's change makes it look like this:

<Need the bug URL (OOPS!)> Need a short description (OOPS!)

Which doesn't match anymore. I'll fix this.

Actually, I'm going to roll out the original patch. I don't like the new format enough to spend the time to fix this, the original author can do it if they want :)

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119766 is the bug that changed this, btw.
