Set component id if a numeric component is available in the component…

@rmistry is there a way to get a componentid from component tag?
Does predator return component tags or ids?

[jonathanmetzman]

hmmm...will component ever be an int? this will fail in that case.

[alhijazi]

It will not be an int, we are doing the same thing a few lines above:

clusterfuzz/src/clusterfuzz/_internal/issue_management/google_issue_tracker/issue_tracker.py

Line 665 in 22e1108

component_paths = self._get_component_paths(self.components)

Interesting bugs for this area are b/315853316 and b/318504348
Interesting PRs for this area are #3584 and #3612

At the time those were submitted, predator returned full component paths, but infrastructure was added to make sure that whenever Chromium's DIR_METADATA was updated to contain component_ids it would continue to work. I do not know whether that was done or not. Looking at cs.chromium.org it looks like all the random ones I clicked on still had component paths (not ids).

I don't think you can get a component_id from a component_name in issuetracker's public API (I could not find a way).

According to this it will set the first component that predator returns. It would be worth looking in logs for components in predator responses to see what is being returned. Maybe the first is not what we want, but it is likely impossible to say what we want.
Perhaps a better way to handle this is to say iff the size of self.components is 1 then set the componentId, otherwise leave it alone.

Though as mentioned in b/341800538#comment8 the PEEPs bot is probably setting things to the 1st component anyway (would be good to verify what actually happens).
