feat(github): 1) modernize issue templates, 2) add Kanban automation for project#4 by 130s · Pull Request #1126 · moveit/moveit2_tutorials

130s · 2026-09-27T18:42:23Z

Description

This PR brings two GitHub workflow improvements to moveit2_tutorials based on the setup in moveit2:

Modernize Issue Templates to GitHub Issue Forms:
- Previously, this repo used a legacy single markdown file (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md). Because it lacked field validation, reporters frequently erased or bypassed the environment checklist, making triage and debugging more difficult (e.g. moveit_visual_tools fails to build when building moveit2_tutorials from source #1125).
- Replaces the legacy template with structured GitHub Issue Forms (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml) adapted from moveit2, including an optional field for the relevant tutorial URL.
Automate Project#4 Kanban Operations:
- Adds .github/workflows/project_automation.yml to automate issue and PR tracking on moveit2_tutorials Project#4 (which gives esp. maintainers a better view of non-/focused tickets).
- Native GitHub Projects v2 workflows cannot branch on user permissions, trigger on issue assignment, or update linked issues targeted by a PR.:
  - New Issues: Placed into Backlog if opened by maintainers/core contributors (OWNER, MEMBER, COLLABORATOR), or To triage if opened by community contributors.
  - New PRs: Placed into In progress (draft) or In review (ready for review).
  - Assigned Issues: Moved to Backlog when assigned.
  - PRs Ready for Review: PR moved to In review, and any targeted/closing issues (Fixes #..., Closes #...) are also moved to In review.
  - Closed Issues/PRs: Moved to Done.
  - Reopened Issues/PRs: Moved to In progress.

Setup Note for Maintainers

Because Project#4 is an organization-level project, modifying its items requires an organization or repository secret (e.g. MOVEIT_PROJECT_TOKEN or GH_PROJECT_TOKEN) with the project scope.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added structured forms for bug reports and feature requests. Bug reports collect environment details, reproduction steps, expected and actual behavior, and optional supporting information; feature requests capture the problem, desired solution, alternatives, and context.
- Bug reports can specify the ROS middleware in use and display a compatibility advisory for certain configurations. The previous free-form issue template is no longer available.
- Issue and pull request activity now adds items to the project and updates their status based on events, including triage, backlog, review, in-progress, and done states.

Walkthrough

The change replaces the Markdown issue template with structured bug-report and feature-request forms. It also adds a workflow that updates Project #4 statuses in response to issue and pull request events.

Changes: Issue intake forms

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Structured issue forms `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md`, `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`, `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml`	The Markdown template is removed. The bug-report form collects environment, reproduction, and behavior details, with optional tutorial, version, and log fields. The feature-request form collects the problem and desired solution, with optional alternatives and context.

Project status automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Workflow setup and project lookup `.github/workflows/project_automation.yml`	The workflow declares issue and pull request triggers, permissions, concurrency, and token selection. It queries Project `#4` and locates its Status field.
Project item and status updates `.github/workflows/project_automation.yml`	The workflow reconciles live item state with requested status, adds items to the project, and updates the Status field when the requested option exists.
Issue and pull request status mapping `.github/workflows/project_automation.yml`	The workflow maps issue and pull request actions to statuses. Non-draft opened, reopened, and ready-for-review pull requests also set up to 20 linked closing issues to In review.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 25e45

The issue forms and the project automation work as intended in the common cases. Remaining gaps are minor: the feature-request form lacks the optional tutorial URL field, a misnamed or removed board option silently leaves items without a status, and a rare race can leave linked issues in In review while the PR is draft. None of these blocks merging, but the owner should be aware of them.

Review details

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md: The issue template was removed, including prompts for the issue description, environment, reproduction steps, expected behavior, and backtrace or console output.
observed — Modified behavior in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml: Adds a bug-report form with required and optional fields, ROS distro and build-type choices, RMW choices, and a Humble/FastRTPS advisory.
observed — Modified behavior in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml: Adds a feature request issue template with four textareas: required problem and solution descriptions, and optional alternatives and additional context.
observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/project_automation.yml: Adds a workflow triggered by issue opened, assigned, closed, and reopened events and pull-request opened, ready_for_review, closed, and reopened events. It runs on Ubuntu with read permissions for issues and pull requests, using MOVEIT_PROJECT_TOKEN, then GH_PROJECT_TOKEN, then GITHUB_TOKEN.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names two changes: modernizing issue templates and adding Kanban automation for Project #4. The changeset matches both. The workflow file adds project automation for Project #4, and the issue template changes replace the legacy Markdown template with GitHub Issue Forms. The title lists both changes in a numbered form, so it covers the main changes. It is long (82 characters) and uses a 'feat(github):' prefix with numbered items, which is less concise than ideal, but it describes real and central parts of the change.

event cannot overwrite a newer status.

Check the pull request's live readiness before updating linked issues.

If a ready_for_review run resumes after the pull request becomes draft again, addItemAndSetStatus correctly puts the pull request in In progress. This helper still puts its open linked issues in In review. The helper checks only each issue's live state, not the pull request's live readiness.

Fetch the pull request's current state and isDraft. Update linked issues only while the pull request is open and non-draft. Per-item concurrency does not prevent the pull request from changing while a run executes. (docs.github.com)
