status-update¶

rbt status-update is used to interact with status-updates for review requests. There are three sub-commands for interacting with status-updates on review requests: get, set, delete.

Usage¶

$ rbt status-update [options] <action>

Getting status-updates¶

rbt status-update --review-request-id ID get is used for getting all status-updates associated with the review request specified or, if the --status-update-id option is specified, then only the status-update specified that is associated to the review request.

Setting status-updates¶

rbt status-update --review-request-id ID set is used for creating and updating status-updates. The --review option can be used to pass in a JSON formatted file with review details to attach a review to the status-update.

Deleting status-updates¶

rbt status-update --review-request-id ID --status-update-id ID delete is used for deleting status-updates.

--json is a flag for having the output of the command be formatted in JSON.

--review is for adding a review with the status-update. This option is for specifying a file describing the review and comments for the review. An example of the contents for the file:

{
    "review": {
        "body_top": "Header comment"
    },
    "diff_comments": [
        {
            "filediff_id": 1,
            "first_line": 1,
            "issue_opened": true,
            "num_lines": 1,
            "text": "Adding a comment on a diff line",
            "text_type": "markdown"
        },
        {
            "filediff_id": 2,
            "first_line": 2,
            "issue_opened": true,
            "num_lines": 1,
            "text": "Adding a second diff comment",
            "text_type": "markdown"
        }
    ],
    "general_comments": [
        {
            "text": "Adding a general comment",
            "text_type": "markdown"
