How to set up and validate locally

  1. Testing previous behavior:
    • Make sure you're on a Premium/Ultimate plan GitLab GDK instance
    • Goto Admin area -> Settings -> Advanced search
    • It is expected to have Advanced search in the settings menu sidebar.
    • Enable Advanced search according to documentation
    • Try to use search and make sure you have Advanced search is enabled label
  2. When registration features are enabled:
    • Make sure you're on a free plan GitLab GDK instance (for example, remove current license or stub #current to return nil)
    • Make sure you have the Registration Features checkbox enabled (Admin -> Settings -> Metrics and profiling -> Usage statistics -> Enable Service Ping & Enable Registration Features)
    • Goto Admin area -> Settings -> Advanced search
    • It is expected to have Advanced search in the settings menu sidebar.
    • Enable Advanced search according to next documentation
    • Try to use search and make sure you have Advanced search is enabled label
  3. When registration features are disabled:
    • Make sure you're on a free plan GitLab GDK instance
    • Make sure you have the registration features checkbox disabled (Admin -> Settings -> Metrics and profiling -> Usage statistics -> Enable Registration Features)
    • Goto Admin area -> Settings
