Reviews of code climate:
Not super reliable and it only shows 20 files of coverage even if there are more in the PR. This would not be a problem if there was a way around the limitation but this extension is the only way.
Recent changes require the extension access to your browsing history. This is not acceptable. Update: permissions have been restored as before.
The extension is good, but this new permission to read browser history makes no sense and should not be required.
Permission to access browser history is now required, which is excessive
Useful, but required permissions are excessive.
Is it perfect? No, absolutely not. But it's a super helpful extension that can save you a lot of time running around different sites to understand why your code coverage went down. I do wonder though if a cleaner solution would be to improve the Code Climate site to actually have clear coverage change reports on their end.
The styles are extremely hard to read in the new Github dark mode.
Provides vital functionality; the ability to see inline code coverage in PR diffs. Also, perpetually broken. Some days it works. Some days it dumps API errors into the browser dev console. C'est la vie, baby.
Great Job!
This extension has HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE performance issues. I'm not sure how an engineer or PM felt OK about releasing this with so many blocking calls that hang the browser. It does have some nice features. It would be dramatically improved by fixing the performance issues or by just having an option from the app to toggle it off when it starts wrecking the browser experience (instead you have to go into Chrome Extensions to turn it off). So there's clearly no self-awareness from the app developers about how invasive this is and how much it can interfere with the normal use of GitHub to read code or copy a line from your PR (the extension interferes with your ability to copy and paste)
keep seeing, "Please sign in to get started" even when I am logged in. Won't let me sign into an actual Code Climate account, just assumes I linked it to my Github. You used to be able to view diffs on the website instead of having to install a browser plugin. PLEASE just let us view it on your site instead of having to use this broken product.
It doesn't work on Google Chrome Version 72+. Console log: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation: Function must be called on an object of type StorageArea at DB.get (popup.js:214) at Auth.authenticateWithEnv (popup.js:90) at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (popup.js:1121) at mightThrow (popup.js:43475) at process (popup.js:43543) at _super.bugsnag (popup.js:28908) at popup.js:29397
The extension doesn't seem to be working very well in Github's Blame view - would love if you could fix that. Other than that, this is super helpful!
I liked it in github but it thinks it should inject it's own css. Extensions that do that are very frustrating. At least limit it to github. If you can't do it, why bother? Everyone has their own tastes, I can't see why an extension for code review needs styling.
Love the premise, doesn't work on Chrome52/Linux
Fantastic extension. Allows me to view the issues on each file, in context. Would be great if there was a rating per directory as well.
Dig this. Super helpful. Nice work guys!
Awesome!
Love it. Having this information right inside GitHub is incredible. The developers are also very quick to respond to feedback. Win-win!
Awesome to get this information directly into GitHub. (Full disclosure: I work at Code Climate)
