Mandate an expert approval [Deprecated]

The approval requirement section is now deprecated, so the mandatary approvals now follow the same rules as specificied in GitHub Codeowners file.

In order to mandate expert approvals on PRs, you can use FlexReview’s Approval Check along with required status checks.

In the FlexReview configuration, set up the file paths under Approval Check. You can use the same file paths as the reviewer suggestion file paths, or specify something else. This will add an aviator/flexreview GitHub status check.

Details of the GitHub status check

Set up MergeQueue required status checks

If your repo is set up to use Aviator’s MergeQueue, navigate to the MergeQueue config. Make sure to set aviator/flexreview as a required check. This requires the PR to have an expert approval before Aviator will merge the PR.

Set up GitHub required status checks

If your repo is not set up to use MergeQueue, you can simply add aviator/flexreview as a required check on GitHub. Read more about GitHub required status checks here.
