View the file for Merge Request comment discussions
Problem to solve
In order to view a merge request comment in context as a reviewer I want to view the file associated with a Merge Request comment.
Given a comment for a file in a commit on a merge request When I view the discussion in the merge request Then I should be able to view the file associated with the comment.
While viewing comments in the discussion tab of a Merge Request, I cannot jump to view the entire file associated with a comment. It's not clear how to view the file or the commit from the merge request.
Viewing the entire file is often useful in order to evaluate how the change may affect other sections of the file.
Further details
Fluid navigation from Merge Request, to commit, to file will allow me to more efficiently judge the correctness and usefulness of changes associated with a Merge Request.
Proposal
The file name in the Merge Request discussion is a link to ... itself. Change this link to a view of the file in the context of the branch being merged.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Success is a link that allows the reviewer to jump to the file associated with the comment.
