Hi,
I am owner in several projects. Today I faced the problem that I get the following error message by creating a merge request in only one of my projects (others are working correctly):
Approval rules name can’t be blank
I also tried to create new approval rules with a name, but I still get the same error.
I am using gitlab.com SaaS.
I compared the working project settings with the one of the failing, but I do not see any difference.
What could be the root cause for this mistake?
I am looking forward receiving your hints.
Best regards
Jan
We just expirienced this issue and it seems to be because the ‘All Members’ approval rule for that project (DB table approval_project_rules) had users assigned to it in the approval_project_rules_users table.
gitlab=# select * from approval_project_rules where project_id = 277;
id | created_at | updated_at | project_id | approvals_required | name | rule_type
----+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+------------+--------------------+-------------+-----------
21 | 2020-02-03 14:34:48.573935+00 | 2021-08-19 11:22:19.828492+00 | 277 | 0 | All Members | 3
gitlab=# select * from approval_project_rules_users;
id | approval_project_rule_id | user_id
----+--------------------------+---------
10 | 21 | 2
11 | 21 | 7
12 | 21 | 14
13 | 21 | 44
14 | 21 | 60
Once I removed the entries in approval_project_rules_users, it seemed to start working again.
