I’m using GitLab for a code review, and while writing multiple review comments, I noticed that each comment triggered a request to the server. However, I didn’t submit the review before restarting my laptop, and now all my comments are gone.
What I’ve Observed:
- Each comment sent a request to the server while I was writing the review.
- I didn’t explicitly save the comments as drafts or submit the review.
- After restarting my laptop, none of the comments appear in the review.
My Questions:
- Does GitLab save review comments as drafts on the server when each request is sent, even if the review is not submitted?
- Is there a way to recover those comments from the server or through the GitLab interface?
What I’ve Tried:
- Revisited the Merge Request in GitLab, but I don’t see any draft or unsubmitted comments.
- Checked browser developer tools and confirmed that each comment triggered a server request, so it’s not local storage.
Additional Information:
- GitLab version: 17.3.5
- Browser: Chrome
- Environment: Self-hosted GitLab
Is there a way to recover my lost comments, or does GitLab not save drafts unless explicitly submitted? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
