Can no longer approve merged merge requests
Summary
Previously, MRs could be approved post-merge by default on the Free tier.
At some point in maybe the last few weeks or months, this is no longer the case.
Given the apparent UI glitches I see as a result, and reports of "unexpected errors" when trying to /approve
, I think this is likely a regression.
Steps to reproduce
- As an eligible reviewer, go to a merged MR you have not approved on gitlab.com.
- Observe the missing approval button despite the present-yet-empty, toggle-able container:
- Attempt to
/approve
and observe failure:
What is the expected correct behavior?
- I am able to approve MRs post-merge, or reconfigure my project to allow prior behavior.
- If the change was intentional, it is noted in the merge request approval documentation explicitly.
