1448334 - "File a bug" link from file view to bugzilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools :: Searchfox, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

In a discussion why BUG_COMPONENT exists in moz.build files:

<jorendorff> looks like it was for this maybe? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1352495
<jorendorff> never landed
<jorendorff> maybe searchfox should have a "file a bug" link that autofills the component :D
<freddyb> jorendorff: that'd be great. want to file an issue in searchfox repo? :)
<jorendorff> i was kind of joking...

And yet here we are.

Is this something people would actually use? While I do occasionally spot bugs in code while browsing on searchfox, I don't know if it happens frequently enough to warrant optimizing the flow of filing a bug.

If we did want to implement this, I think a reasonable approach would be to run something like:

find . -type f -name "*.cpp" | xargs ./mach file-info bugzilla-component

on the m-c tree, and turn the output into a .json file that contains a map from filename -> component. Then, when generating the html for the rendered file, we can look up the map to see if there's an associated component, and add a "File a bug" link under the "Source code" section of the floater nav thingy.
