Devtriage

Devtriage is a lightweight CLI that turns a failing command into a reproducible bug report. It captures stdout/stderr, environment data, git context, and produces shareable snapshots or issue templates so teammates can reproduce failures quickly.

Features

• run: execute any command and capture stdout/stderr plus exit metadata.
• snapshot: record environment info (OS, Python, pip freeze, git status, sanitized env vars) and bundle it together with command output in a zip archive.
• issue: run snapshot, emit an ISSUE.md, and optionally auto-open a GitHub issue with --gh (uses the GitHub CLI).
• focus: auto-detect pytest/nose/jest/mocha (or force with --runner) and only run changed tests or -k/pattern filters.
• Safety-first: sensitive env values (KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, etc.) are redacted before writing env.json.
• Visual proof: screenshot of the CLI flow.

Installation

• Stable release: pip install devtriage
• From source: clone and run pip install -e .

Either path installs the devtriage console script (or run python -m devtriage). Python 3.8+ is required.

Usage

Capture a failing test

devtriage run --cmd "pytest tests/test_widget.py::test_happy_path -q" --out ./triage/widget_fail

The target directory receives stdout.txt, stderr.txt, and meta.json describing the run.

Snapshot & share

devtriage snapshot --cmd "pytest tests/test_widget.py::test_happy_path -q" --out ./triage/widget_fail

This writes env.json plus a timestamped devtriage_snapshot_*.zip with everything you need for a bug report.

Generate an Issue

devtriage issue --cmd "pytest tests/test_widget.py::test_happy_path -q" --title "Widget test regression" --out ./triage/widget_fail

ISSUE.md summarizes the failure, environment, and includes the snapshot path; paste it into GitHub/GitLab.

Focused test runs

• Auto-detect: devtriage focus --auto
• Force a runner: devtriage focus --runner jest -k "critical"
• Legacy flag: devtriage focus --pytest

devtriage inspects git diff --name-only HEAD to find relevant tests for Python and JavaScript ecosystems. When no changed tests exist, pass -k/--runner to run the full suite with filters.

Visual proof

Contributing

1. Fork and clone the repo.
2. Create a virtual environment and install with pip install -e .[dev].
3. Run pytest to execute automated checks (including runner detection + sanitization).
4. Run devtriage --help to validate the CLI locally.
5. Open pull requests with a clear description plus tests/recordings when relevant.

Releasing

1. Ensure pyproject.toml and src/devtriage/__init__.py share the same version (currently 0.1.0) and commit your changes.
2. Run pytest locally and confirm CI is green.
3. Build artifacts with python -m pip install --upgrade build twine followed by python -m build.
4. Upload to TestPyPI or PyPI via python -m twine upload dist/*.
5. Tag the release (git tag v<version>; git push origin v<version>) and create a GitHub release in DevMubarak1/Devtriage.
