release-post-assemble error
Why is this change being made?
When the release post manager runs bin/release-post-assemble
as part of the process to prepare the release post, this error appears:
/Users/user/Development/GitLab/www-gitlab-com/lib/release_posts/post.rb:85:in `block (2 levels) in update_deprecations': undefined method `config' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /Users/user/Development/GitLab/www-gitlab-com/lib/release_posts/post.rb:84:in `each'
from /Users/user/Development/GitLab/www-gitlab-com/lib/release_posts/post.rb:84:in `block in update_deprecations'
from /Users/user/Development/GitLab/www-gitlab-com/lib/release_posts/post.rb:81:in `each'
from /Users/user/Development/GitLab/www-gitlab-com/lib/release_posts/post.rb:81:in `update_deprecations'
from /Users/user/Development/GitLab/www-gitlab-com/lib/release_posts/post.rb:41:in `assemble'
from bin/release-post-assemble:6:in `<main>'
It's a non-blocking error, but it often causes confusion.
This MR will allow the error to fail silently so as not to disrupt the release post manager's progress.
