Check whether auto_deploy lock/unlock ChatOps command is supposed to work

Summary

During the first patch release of 18.5, I attempted to use the auto_deploy lock command in order to apply all subsequent chatops command on the latest auto_deploy branch. However, I saw an error frm the ChatOps pipeline:

Failing pipeline: https://ops.gitlab.net/gitlab-com/chatops/builds/20398996

This process is documented here:

Exit criteria

  • Confirm whether auto-deploy lock/unlock commands should work
  • If they should work: Figure out why they don't work and fix it
  • If they don't work: Remove them and scrub mentions from the documentation
