There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

228-236: Consider refining the error handling approach for more robust user feedback.

While this new logic successfully strips out the technical prefix for comment validation errors, there are a few potential improvements:

  1. Localize the user-friendly message: If you plan to display the message in different languages, wrap the final string in a translation function (t()) instead of calling toast.error with a raw string.
  2. Check for partial matches: Confirm that only comment-validation-specific errors get scrubbed. If other error messages contain “text:” or “Comment validation failed:”, they might be inadvertently stripped as well.
  3. Log the original error message if necessary: If you want to preserve the technical message for debugging, consider logging it or sending it to an external monitoring service rather than discarding it.

Please submit your PRs against our develop-postgres branch. This is a temporary requirement as we prepare to migrate our API backend to Postgres.
