Summary of Changes

Hello @gmechali, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a small but significant fix to the staging script, primarily focusing on improving the robustness and user guidance during the deployment process. It refines how shell commands are executed by allowing more flexible error handling and specifically addresses potential issues with pushing Git tags to the upstream remote, ensuring users are well-informed if their remote configuration is incomplete. These changes aim to streamline the staging build trigger and provide a better developer experience.

Highlights

  • Enhanced Command Execution: The run_command utility function now includes a check parameter, allowing callers to optionally suppress automatic sys.exit on subprocess.CalledProcessError and handle the exception directly.
  • Git Remote Target Change: The script has been updated to push staging tags to the upstream Git remote instead of origin.
  • Improved Error Handling for Git Push: A try-except block has been added around the git push upstream command to catch failures and provide clear, actionable instructions to the user on how to configure the upstream remote if it's missing.
  • Updated Build Status Link: The URL provided for viewing the build status has been revised to a new link.

Code Review

This pull request improves the staging script by ensuring the upstream git remote is used and providing a much better error message if it's not configured. The changes are logical and directly address the goal of the PR. I have one suggestion to improve the security of the script by avoiding shell=True in subprocess calls, which is a general best practice.

raise e
print(f"Error running command: {cmd}")
sys.exit(e.returncode)

security-high high

Using shell=True with subprocess can introduce a security risk of command injection if the command string is crafted from external input. While the inputs in this script appear to be controlled, it's a security best practice to avoid shell=True. You can achieve this by passing command arguments as a list. The shlex.split() function can be used to safely parse the command string. This also allows removing the # noqa: S602 suppressions.

I've included import shlex inside the function for a self-contained suggestion, but it would be best to move it to the top of the file with other imports.

Suggested change
def run_command(cmd: str, *, capture: bool = True, check: bool = True) -> str | int:
try:
if capture:
return subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell=True).decode().strip() # noqa: S602
return subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True) # noqa: S602
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
if not check:
raise e
print(f"Error running command: {cmd}")
sys.exit(e.returncode)
def run_command(cmd: str, *, capture: bool = True, check: bool = True) -> str | int:
import shlex
try:
cmd_args = shlex.split(cmd)
if capture:
return subprocess.check_output(cmd_args).decode().strip()
return subprocess.check_call(cmd_args)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
if not check:
raise e
print(f"Error running command: {cmd}")
sys.exit(e.returncode)
