proposal: elevate diagnostic report to tier1

diagnostic report meets all the criteria required for being tier1, namely:

• The maintainers of the tool must remain responsive when there are problems; tool is part of the core, so maintainers are node core collaborators itself.
• The tool must be actively used by the ecosystem; evidence of usage in the field - through core and help repo issues, as well as in person feedback in collab summit 2019 montreal
• The tool must be heavily depended on; subjective, but report is being established as a unique FFDC capability that helped many issues so far.
• The tool must have a guide or other documentation in the Node.js GitHub organization or website; - API guide exists part of the org, and several external documentations.
• The tool must be working on all supported platforms; achieved
• The tool must only be using APIs exposed by Nodejs as opposed to its dependencies; and
• The tool must be open source. achieved

I propose to elevate report to tier1 status.

On the WG meeting, we decided to ping the working group members then wait 7 days before we open a PR with tier bump.

I propose to elevate report to tier1 status.

The current https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/guides/diagnostic-tooling-support-tiers.md#diagnostic-tooling-support-tiers doesn't mention diagnostic report at all, so this would be adding diagnostic report as tier 1 rather than elevating it.

node-report, the precursor to diagnostics report is on the list but doesn't meet the tier 1 criteria.

The current https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/guides/diagnostic-tooling-support-tiers.md#diagnostic-tooling-support-tiers doesn't mention diagnostic report at all, so this would be adding diagnostic report as tier 1 rather than elevating it.

I don't understand - can you elaborate? diagnostic report is the in-core version of node-report, right? reference: nodejs/node#22712

the guide does not mention diagnostic report, because:

• the guide predates the report
• the report was renamed as part of node-report: meld into core node#22712

[richardlau]

They've diverged and node-report still exists (and will probably still exist until Node.js 10 goes End-of-Life). Any tooling or guides written for diagnostic report would not automatically apply to node-report (and vice versa).

ok - so you are talking about the grace period when both (node-report and diagnostic-report) will co-exist due to logistical / policy related reasons.

I am talking about diagnostic-report as a replacement of node-report (reasons and background in the first comment of nodejs/node#22712) which is a result of endorsement from this working group. I am seeking a similar endorsement in this WG to replace node-report from the (unclassified) tooling tiers with diagnostic-report as classified.

this is achieved, closing. thanks all!
