An outcome says "Needs you"

What it means when an outcome is tagged Needs you, and how to settle it.

Written by Jack Meyers

Needs you means a builder and Grove disagree about an outcome. The builder says the outcome is done. Grove read the merged code, and couldn't find it. Grove can't decide which is right. You decide.

This isn't an error. It's how Grove makes sure a person checks work that might not be finished.

See why

  1. Open the project's Overview, then the Scope tab.

  2. Click the Needs you tag next to the outcome.

  3. Read What Grove's read found. It tells you what Grove expected to see in the code, and didn't.

  4. Look at Pull requests behind this. It shows which pull request said it completes the outcome.

Settle it

Try the work yourself, such as in a test build or a preview. Grove reads code. It doesn't use your product.

When the builder ships a fix, Grove reads the new pull request, and the tag updates.

Common reasons

  • The work is done, but in a way Grove didn't expect. Try it, and tick it.

  • The pull request finished only part of the outcome. The builder should use advances instead of completes in the claims block.

  • The builder quoted the wrong outcome.
