Overview

This node operation resets the approvals on a specific merge request within a GitLab project. It is useful for scenarios where you need to clear all existing approvals on a merge request, for example, when significant changes have been made and a fresh review cycle is required.

Use Case Examples

  1. Reset approvals on a merge request after major code changes to ensure all reviewers re-approve.
  2. Clear approvals to restart the review process in a GitLab project merge request.

Properties

baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, default is GET but for this operation it is PUT.

Output

JSON

  • statusCode - HTTP status code of the response indicating success or failure.
  • body - Response body containing details about the reset approvals operation.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and merge request IID are correctly specified; incorrect values will cause the API call to fail.

  • Permission errors can happen if the authenticated user does not have rights to reset approvals on the specified merge request.
