Error while fetching comments

When trying to access some issues on the GitLab website, I get one of the following error messages:

  • “Something went wrong while fetching comments”.
  • “Failed to load related branches”

There are several other errors, but since they all happen at the same time and they all go into the same error box replacing the old error I cannot be sure I have seen all the possible error messages.

Inspecting the console, it appears that gitlab.com is responding with a 500 for some requests.

If I try navigating to the webpages in question myself, I do indeed get a 500 response.

We are having the exact same issue, no reply from gitlab support, did you ever find a resolution for this?

I’m sorry to say we did not.
