How to set up and validate locally

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.

SERVICE DESK SETUP

  1. Setup a service desk on your GDK: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/service_desk_mail_room.md
  2. Send an email to your Service Desk, so you have something to display on the list.

ALTERNATIVE SETUP

  1. You can omit Service Desk setup and force an already existing issue to become a SD issue. Open the rails console: rails c
  2. Use these commands. Change 7 to the project id that matches the one you want to use for testing:
email = 'your-email@gitlab.com'
project = Project.find 7
issue = project.issues.last
issue.update!(service_desk_reply_to: email, author: User.support_bot)
IssueEmailParticipant.create!(issue: issue, email: email)
  1. In rails console enable the feature flag

    Feature.enable(:service_desk_vue_list)
    Feature.enable(:frontend_caching)
  2. Visit the project that has Service Desk setup

  3. In the main navigation click Monitor, than Service Desk.

  4. Add labels, due dates, milestones, etc. Anything you want to sort by.

  5. Select a couple of sorting options, click button for switching between ascending/descending. Observe if the issues' order change.

  6. Select a different sorting option to the one, that was set originally. Reload the page. It should keep your last choice.

  7. Select manual ordering. Drag and drop issues in a different order. Reload the page. It should keep the same order that you set.

FYI There is a known problem that Issues in the main navigation highlight when you are on Service Desk view.
