| 6 | +# Create Pull Request (sentry-java) |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Prepare local changes and create a pull request for the sentry-java repo. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +**Required reading:** Before proceeding, read `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` for the full PR and stacked PR workflow details. That file is the source of truth for PR conventions, stack comment format, branch naming, and merge strategy. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Step 0: Determine PR Type |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Ask the user (or infer from context) whether this is: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- **Standalone PR** — a regular PR targeting `main`. Follow Steps 1–6 as written. |
| 17 | +- **First PR of a new stack** — ask for a topic name (e.g. "Global Attributes"). Create a collection branch from `main`, then branch the first PR off it. The first PR targets the collection branch. |
| 18 | +- **Next PR in an existing stack** — identify the previous stack branch and topic. This PR targets the previous stack branch. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If the user mentions "stack", "stacked PR", or provides a topic name with a number (e.g. `[Topic 2]`), treat it as a stacked PR. See `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "Stacked PRs" for full details. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Step 1: Ensure Feature Branch |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```bash |
| 25 | +git branch --show-current |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +If on `main` or `master`, create and switch to a new branch: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +```bash |
| 31 | +git checkout -b <type>/<short-description> |
| 32 | +``` |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Derive the branch name from the changes being made. Use `feat/`, `fix/`, `ref/`, etc. matching the commit type conventions. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +**For stacked PRs:** For the first PR in a new stack, first create and push the collection branch (see `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "Creating the Collection Branch"), then branch the PR off it. For subsequent PRs, branch off the previous stack branch. Use the naming conventions from `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "Branch Naming". |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +**CRITICAL: Never merge, fast-forward, or push commits into the collection branch.** It stays at its initial position until the user merges stack PRs through GitHub. Updating it will auto-merge and destroy the entire PR stack. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Step 2: Format Code and Regenerate API Files |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```bash |
| 43 | +./gradlew spotlessApply apiDump |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +This is **required** before every PR in this repo. It formats all Java/Kotlin code via Spotless and regenerates the `.api` binary compatibility files. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +If the command fails, diagnose and fix the issue before continuing. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Step 3: Commit Changes |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Check for uncommitted changes: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +```bash |
| 55 | +git status --porcelain |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +If there are uncommitted changes, invoke the `sentry-skills:commit` skill to stage and commit them following Sentry conventions. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +**Important:** When staging, ignore changes that are only relevant for local testing and should not be part of the PR. Common examples: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +| Ignore Pattern | Reason | |
| 63 | +|---|---| |
| 64 | +| Hardcoded booleans flipped for testing | Local debug toggles | |
| 65 | +| Sample app config changes (`sentry-samples/`) | Local testing configuration | |
| 66 | +| `.env` or credentials files | Secrets | |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Restore these files before committing: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +```bash |
| 71 | +git checkout -- <file-to-restore> |
| 72 | +``` |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +## Step 4: Push the Branch |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```bash |
| 77 | +git push -u origin HEAD |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +If the push fails due to diverged history, ask the user how to proceed rather than force-pushing. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## Step 5: Create PR |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Invoke the `sentry-skills:create-pr` skill to create a draft PR. When providing the PR body, use the repo's PR template structure from `.github/pull_request_template.md`: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | +## :scroll: Description |
| 88 | +<Describe the changes in detail> |
| 89 | +
|
| 90 | +## :bulb: Motivation and Context |
| 91 | +<Why is this change required? What problem does it solve?> |
| 92 | +
|
| 93 | +## :green_heart: How did you test it? |
| 94 | +<Describe how you tested> |
| 95 | +
|
| 96 | +## :pencil: Checklist |
| 97 | +- [ ] I added GH Issue ID _&_ Linear ID |
| 98 | +- [ ] I added tests to verify the changes. |
| 99 | +- [ ] No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if `sendDefaultPII` is enabled. |
| 100 | +- [ ] I updated the docs if needed. |
| 101 | +- [ ] I updated the wizard if needed. |
| 102 | +- [ ] Review from the native team if needed. |
| 103 | +- [ ] No breaking change or entry added to the changelog. |
| 104 | +- [ ] No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs. |
| 105 | +
|
| 106 | +## :crystal_ball: Next steps |
| 107 | +``` |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Fill in each section based on the changes being PR'd. Check any checklist items that apply. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +**For stacked PRs:** |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +- Pass `--base <previous-stack-branch>` so the PR targets the previous branch (first PR in a stack targets the collection branch). |
| 114 | +- Use the stacked PR title format: `<type>(<scope>): [<Topic> <N>] <Subject>` (see `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "PR Title Naming"). |
| 115 | +- Include the stack list at the top of the PR body, before the `## :scroll: Description` section (see `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "Stack List in PR Description" for the format). |
| 116 | +- Add a merge method reminder at the very end of the PR body (see `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "Stack List in PR Description" for the exact text). This only applies to stack PRs, not the collection branch PR. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +Then continue to Step 5.5 (stacked PRs only) or Step 6. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +## Step 5.5: Update Stack List on All PRs (stacked PRs only) |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +Skip this step for standalone PRs. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +After creating the PR, update the PR description on **every other PR in the stack — including the collection branch PR** — so all PRs have the same up-to-date stack list. Follow the format and commands in `.cursor/rules/pr.mdc` § "Stack List in PR Description". |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +**Important:** When updating PR bodies, never use shell redirects (`>`, `>>`) or pipes (`|`) or compound commands (`&&`). These create compound shell expressions that won't match permission patterns. Instead: |
| 127 | +- Use `gh pr view <NUMBER> --json body --jq '.body'` to get the body (output returned directly) |
| 128 | +- Use the `Write` tool to save it to a temp file |
| 129 | +- Use the `Edit` tool to modify the temp file |
| 130 | +- Use `gh pr edit <NUMBER> --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md` to update |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +## Step 6: Update Changelog |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +First, determine whether a changelog entry is needed. **Skip this step** (and go straight to "No changelog needed" below) if the changes are not user-facing, for example: |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +- Test-only changes (new tests, test refactors, test fixtures) |
| 137 | +- CI/CD or build configuration changes |
| 138 | +- Documentation-only changes |
| 139 | +- Code comments or formatting-only changes |
| 140 | +- Internal refactors with no behavior change visible to SDK users |
| 141 | +- Sample app changes |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +If unsure, ask the user. |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### If changelog is needed |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +Add an entry to `CHANGELOG.md` under the `## Unreleased` section. |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +#### Determine the subsection |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +| Change Type | Subsection | |
| 152 | +|---|---| |
| 153 | +| New feature | `### Features` | |
| 154 | +| Bug fix | `### Fixes` | |
| 155 | +| Refactoring, internal cleanup | `### Internal` | |
| 156 | +| Dependency update | `### Dependencies` | |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +Create the subsection under `## Unreleased` if it does not already exist. |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +#### Entry format |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +```markdown |
| 163 | +- <Short description of the change> ([#<PR_NUMBER>](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/<PR_NUMBER>)) |
| 164 | +``` |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +Use the PR number returned by `sentry-skills:create-pr`. Match the style of existing entries — sentence case, ending with the PR link, no trailing period. |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +#### Commit and push |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +Stage `CHANGELOG.md`, commit with message `changelog`, and push: |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +```bash |
| 173 | +git add CHANGELOG.md |
| 174 | +git commit -m "changelog" |
| 175 | +git push |
| 176 | +``` |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +### No changelog needed |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +If no changelog entry is needed, add `#skip-changelog` to the PR description to disable the changelog CI check: |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +1. Get the current body: `gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json body --jq '.body'` |
| 183 | +2. Use the `Write` tool to save the output to `/tmp/pr-body.md`, appending `\n#skip-changelog\n` at the end |
| 184 | +3. Update: `gh pr edit <PR_NUMBER> --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md` |
