ADWR

What is the ADWR

ADWR (Account Deletion Weekly Report) is a project within gitlab.com that generates weekly reports concerning account deletion requests.

The source code for it is located here.

How does the ADWR work

ADWR works by utilizing GitLab CI/CD and ruby scripts. It runs in two stages:

• gather
• create

gather stage

This stage runs the ./bin/gather script, which includes the ADWR lib files and calls the function ADWR::Gather.run!. This function makes an API request to gitlab.com to grab all the issues within the Account Deletion and Other Requests project that are in an open state. It then compiles these issues into a JSON file, which is stored as an artifact.

create stage

This stage runs the ./bin/create script, which includes the ADWR lib files and calls the function ADWR::Create.run!. This function uses the artifact made in the gather stage to generate a report (which is an ADWR issue).

The body of the created issues comes from parsing the issues from the artifact made in the gather stage, skipping those without an assignee.

This report will contain a table with the following information:

• the issue title
• the assignee’s gitlab.com username
• the assignee’s manager’s gitlab.com username
• labels the issue in question has.

When does the ADWR run

Currently, ADWR runs every Sunday at 0000 UTC.
