Addressed Issues:

Fixes #393

What was going wrong

useAdvancedMetrics in src/hooks/useSortedData.js calculates the "Average PR Merge Time" shown on the Analytics page. When adding up merge times, it already skips PRs whose duration can't be used (an unparseable timestamp, or merged_at earlier than created_at). But it still divided the total by all merged PRs, including the skipped ones.

So the total and the divisor didn't match. For example, with one PR that took 10 hours and one PR with an invalid date:

  • the total only includes the valid PR: 10 hours
  • but it was divided by 2 merged PRs
  • so the average showed 5 hours instead of 10

Every skipped PR pulled the average further down, and because the result still looks like a normal number, the mistake is easy to miss.

What I changed

In useAdvancedMetrics, I added a counter that only counts PRs whose duration was actually included in the total, and the average is now divided by that count:

let validDurationCount = 0
const totalMergeTime = mergedPRs.reduce((sum, pr) => {
  const duration = new Date(pr.merged_at).getTime() - new Date(pr.created_at).getTime()
  if (!Number.isFinite(duration) || duration < 0) return sum
  validDurationCount++
  return sum + duration
}, 0)

What stays the same:

  • The "Merged" count still counts every merged PR. Only the average uses the new count.
  • Acceptance rate and the rejected count are untouched.
  • If no PR has a valid duration, the average is still 0, never NaN or Infinity.

How I tested it

There was no test file for this hook yet, so I added src/hooks/useSortedData.test.js. I ran the new tests against the original code first to confirm they catch the bug, then with the fix:

Scenario Before the fix After the fix
One 10h PR + one PR with an invalid merged_at average 5h (wrong) average 10h, merged = 2
One 20h PR + one PR merged before it was created average 10h (wrong) average 20h, merged = 2
Every merged PR has an invalid duration 0 0 (finite)
All PRs valid (10h and 20h) 15h 15h
No PRs at all 0 0

The first two rows are exactly the bug, and the last three confirm the existing behavior hasn't changed.

  • npx vitest run → all new tests pass. One existing test, src/App.test.jsx ("renders the Not Found page for an unknown route"), fails, but it fails the same way on the current main without this change, so it's unrelated to this PR.
  • npm run build → succeeds (only the chunk-size warning that was already there)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Average merge times now use only merged pull requests with valid timestamps and finite, nonnegative durations. Invalid entries are excluded, and the average is zero when no durations qualify.
  • Updates
    • The merge-time card now shows how many pull requests are included in the average, rather than the total number merged.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for valid and invalid durations, missing timestamps, empty data, and sample counts.

Walkthrough

useAdvancedMetrics now averages merge durations only when both timestamps are present and the duration is finite and nonnegative. It returns the qualifying sample size. The analytics caption displays that sample size, while the merged pull request count remains unchanged.

The hook divides total duration by the number of qualifying durations and returns that sample size. Tests cover valid and invalid durations, null timestamps, zero-hour durations, and empty input. The analytics caption displays the sample size.

Explanation

The title names the main change: average merge time is now computed only over PRs with a valid duration. It matches the summary of useAdvancedMetrics and the linked objectives. The title includes the issue number, which is acceptable. The title does not mention the new mergeTimeSampleSize field, but that is a secondary detail.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #393 requires the average merge time to use only merged PRs with a valid, nonnegative duration. In useAdvancedMetrics (src/hooks/useSortedData.js), validDurationCount counts only PRs whose duration is added to totalMergeTime. avgMergeHours divides by this count and returns 0 when the count is 0. The merged value still uses mergedPRs.length, so the merged total is unchanged. The change also rejects missing timestamps before constructing a Date, which avoids the epoch-date case from new Date(null). The core average calculation meets the requirement. The PR adds tests for invalid timestamps, negative durations, all-valid input, no valid durations, and empty input. The PR also changes the Analytics page caption (see the out-of-scope assessment), which does not change the average calculation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The production change in src/hooks/useSortedData.js is related to Issue #393. The change in src/pages/AnalyticsPage.jsx replaces advancedMetrics.merged with advancedMetrics.mergeTimeSampleSize in the caption 'Based on N merged pull requests' under the merge-time card. This changes the number shown to users when invalid PRs exist. The objectives for #393 state that the displayed merged count should remain unchanged. The PR description also states that the merged count keeps counting every merged PR, and it does not mention this caption change. The change is consistent with the average's basis, so it is not clearly unrelated. It does conflict with the stated requirement and the author's description. The merged stat itself is not shown as changed in the diff.

Resolution

Confirm whether the caption under the merge-time card counts as the 'displayed merged count' that must stay unchanged. If it must stay unchanged, revert the AnalyticsPage.jsx change to advancedMetrics.merged. If the caption change is intended, update the PR description to state it and add a test or review note that accepts the changed displayed count.

- Line 54: Expose validDurationCount from the sorted-data hook and use it in the
average label in AnalyticsPage so the label reflects only PRs with valid
durations; keep merged unchanged for the acceptance chart.

Review comments at @src/hooks/useSortedData.test.js:
- Around line 42-43: The useSortedData tests do not verify that zero-duration
PRs contribute to the average. Add a case combining zero-hour and ten-hour
durations and assert an average of five hours, ensuring the zero-duration entry
is included in the calculation.
