Email confirmation when a review is completed

Post by braddwalker » Mon 24 Mar 2014 21:20

We just started using Review Assistant with our development team and like having email notifications when a review changes. It appears, though, that no email is sent when a review is completed with Accept Changes.

Our developers would like to know when a review has been completed so they can transition their work in our issue tracking system, but currently they have to go to the Code Review Board and refresh the view to see when a given review is closed.

Are we missing a setting, or is there a better way to keep track of which reviews have been completed with Accept Changes by others?

Thanks

Review Assistant sends an email notification to the author, when all reviewers accepted a review.

Review Assistant does not have any settings, that change behavior of the email notification.

Is there some way to debug this? We get all other email notifications, but NOT the one that is supposed to go out when a review is accepted. Does it make any difference if we're only ever assigning the review to a single person?

Try to do the following:
  • Login to Review Assistant as UserA.
    Creat a reiview.
    Assign yourself as the review author and the review moderator.
    Assign UserB as a reviewer.
    Login as a reviewer and accept the review.
In a minute, UserA should receive a letter, saying 'Code is accepted by all reviewers'.

Make sure, that UserA entered a valid email address at the Review Assistant Options -> My Account tab.
