GitHub integration
If you use GitHub to track issues in your app, you can connect Flare to GitHub.
Our integration allows to:
- create a GitHub issue directly on a Flare error
- associate a GitHub issue with a Flare error by mentioning a Flare URL in the GitHub issue
- automatically resolve an error on Flare when you close the GitHub issue
- automatically close a GitHub issue when you resolve an error in Flare
Getting started
Go to the GitHub page within the team settings and click on the connect with GitHub button.
Flare will ask read and write access to your issues and pull requests on your GitHub account.
After you've connected Flare to GitHub, you can connect Flare projects with GitHub repositories. In the project settings, there's a GitHub page. On this page, you can select a repository that should be connected with the project.
Associating Flare errors with GitHub issues / PRs
After you've connected a GitHub repo to a Flare project, you'll see an extra button "Create issue" on each error in Flare.
By pressing this button you can quickly create an issue in GitHub.
Alternatively, you could manually open an issue at GitHub and mention add a Flare error URl in the issue description or any of the comments. This will also associate the GitHub issue with the Flare error.
When you return to Flare, you can see that the UI now shows that this error is now associated with one GitHub issue. When you click that link, you'll see a card that contains a link to the issue, and you can optionally couple the same error to another issue.
You can link a GitHub issue or pull request with an error by adding the URL to the Flare error in the title, body or comments of the issue or pull request.
Resolving Flare errors and closing GitHub issues / PRs
Flare will automatically resolve an error when an issue was closed, or a pull request was merged.
Optionally, you can let Flare close GitHub issues whenever an error is resolved. You can opt-in for this behaviour by checking the last option at the GitHub screen in the team settings.
