Add system note for alert when assigning to user

Sarah Yasonik requested to merge alert-system-notes into master

What does this MR do?

This MR adds functionality to create a system note corresponding to when an alert is assigned to a user.

This includes the following items:

  • Adds notes association to AlertManagement::Alert
  • Adds :alert_user_mentions table to integrate with Noteable module
  • Exposes notes in GraphQL API
  • FE pieces - !33763 (merged) => Approved & merged into this MR

Context

This MR represents a vertical slice of functionality for assigning alerts to users. This is slice 4/4.

This work will occur in 4 slices:

  1. Create sidebar view for alert - !32642 (merged)
  2. Add assignee to list view - !32609 (merged)
  3. Add assignee dropdown to sidebar of alert detail view - !33122 (merged)
  4. Add system notes for alert assignment

Slices 2-4 will all be behind a alert_assignee feature flag. Grouping the work in this way will allow us to deliver functional chunks of work which can be validated individually.

GraphQL query test
Screen_Shot_2020-06-02_at_6.21.34_PM

Testing

  1. Alerts live under Operations > Alerts. Follow instructions in the UI to enable the Generic Alerts Endpoint for your project.
  2. To create alerts, either actually use the alert endpoint, or create alerts in the rails console. FactoryBot.create(:alert_management_alert, project: project) should do the trick.
  3. From Operations > Alerts click on an alert item in the list.
  4. Click the Assignee dropdown to change the user.
  5. From /-/graphql-explorer, and alert with an assignee and system note should now be available with a query somewhat like:
{
  project(fullPath: <REPLACE ME>) {
    id
    fullPath
    alertManagementAlerts {
      nodes {
        iid
	status
	assignees {
          username
	}
        notes {
          nodes {
            id
            confidential
            system
            body
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: the system note will not appear in the UI until the FE changes have been incorporated into this MR.
