Support a GitHub comment trigger for re-running the CLA process

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Any time the CLA bot fails to run on a PR (for various reasons), contributors and maintainers have to remember the best way to force the bot to rerun itself. A @microsoft-github-policy-service rerun command or something similar would be very useful. Simply tagging @microsoft-github-policy-service or issuing @microsoft-github-policy-service help could even yield a comment that talks about when rerun is needed and how to use it.

Closing and reopening the PR is our go-to stop-gap, but that is an annoying step to have to take, especially when there are PR checks that take hours to run and we want to avoid stopping or rerunning them.

thanks for the feedback @jeffhandley , today github had a lot of issue, yes is going to be useful to implement this command "@microsoft-github-policy-service rerun" and we are going to do it.

We in .NET Core-Eng field frequent requests about failed CLA checks and don't have good recommendations other than to close and reopen the affected PRs. Doing this would make our lives easier❕

Any input from people on rerun vs reprocess on the command?

@jeffhandley the rerun command is now in prod, this is the command for dotnet org:
Will close the issue.
