API: `merged_at` values missing for certain Merge Requests in `merged` state
Summary
In gitlab-insights and future features we rely on the merged_at timestamp being available for Merge Requests in the merged state. Under certain circumstances this field isn't available for merged MRs when indexing MRs and retrieving and individual MR via the API.
This definitely does not affect all MRs, but I could not notice a pattern between those affected
Steps to reproduce
- Query
api/v4/projects/:project_id/merge_requests - Notice some MRs do not have
merged_atdata available
Example Project
The following merged MR is an example that exhibits the problem:
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/24137
- https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gitlab-org%2Fgitlab-ce/merge_requests/24137
What is the current bug behavior?
-
merged_atfield isnull
What is the expected correct behavior?
-
merged_atfield should be populated with the relevant timestamp
