I’m sorry, what? If he broke it, he fixes it. There should be guard rails that prevent him from merging his code until all the tests pass, and you as a reviewer should refuse to even start a code review unless the build is green.
Exactly, don't even strat looking at a PR that doesn't pass the CI pipeline
Yup. Nothing wrong with pushing up a draft PR and asking for feedback; but definitely need to be an active participant in fixing the issues, not just expect somebody else to do your work for you.
That does lead to some sticky inter-personal situations though. Like there's people on my team that I trust enough to just rubber-stamp a PR that looks good but doesn't have test coverage etc. Can generally trust those people will let me know if the failing tests uncover some substantial work that needs to be re-reviewed.
There's other people I don't trust and will insist their build passes before I review it. Once that person notices they're being held to a different standard, it can be difficult (but necessary) to have a conversation about what they need to change in order to earn that trust.
