Installation

npm install --save-dev a15y

Usage

Accountabilibuddy is a command line tool to assist in dependency migration. When a dependency is updated, errors typically appear while running the build command for a given project. This tool will establish ownership for build errors via a mapping between errors and the git blame command. This assumes that the errors contain a file path which can be used for git blame.

To invoke the tool:

a15y '{your build command}' '{string identifying error in console}' '{name of developer (optional)}'

Example from a migration from Typscript 2.3 to Typescript 2.4 in reddit-desktop:

a15y 'npm run build' 'ERROR in [at-loader]' 'Hunter Hodnett'

Output from the npm run build command has errors in the following format:

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:68:30
    TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:91:30
    TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:110:43
    TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

ERROR in [at-loader] ./src/reddit/reducers/widgets/sidebar/index.ts:121:48
    TS2339: Property 'payload' does not exist on type 'A'.

We match errors in the output by defining the string that occurs before the filepath at which the error occurred. This is the 'ERROR in [at-loader]' part of the above command.

If you want to see all errors for a command rather than filter by owner, just omit the developer name:

a15y 'npm run build' 'ERROR in [at-loader]'

Results should appear in the following format:
