Provide feedback why pick into auto-deploy failed
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/32538#note_211244737, I applied the Pick into auto-deploy
label but the picker failed. It gave this feedback in a MR comment:
@abrandl This merge request could not automatically be picked into
12-3-auto-deploy-20190901
for12.3.0
and will need manual intervention. Please create a new MR targeting the source branch of12-3-auto-deploy-20190901
, and assign to release managers.Once that new MR is merged, please remove ~"Pick into auto-deploy" from this merge request.
I created another MR https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/32552 as outlined above and cherry-picked my commit without a conflict. At this point, I wasn't sure why the picker failed in the first place.
Is it possible to provide more details in the automatic comment on the MR or link the corresponding picker pipeline in the MR comment? This way, a developer would be able to dig into why the auto-pick failed to get a better understanding of it.
