Issue with CELS GitLab instances

March 29, 2022 by Stacey, Craig

We have been notified of an issue affecting the CELS GitLab instances that impacts the ability to view changes when reviewing a merge request.
We have opened an issue with the gitlab-ce project, and others have reported the same issue. We are hopeful that we will be able to update to a later release where the bug has been fixed sometime Monday.
A work-around, identified by one of our customers, is to use the ‘branch compare’ feature of GitLab to compare the branches to merge; to use the feature:
1. Select ‘Repository’ in the left-hand menu
2. Select ‘Compare’
3. Choose the two branches you want to merge to view the diff
From the command line, you can also use:
git diff origin/destination_branch origin/source_branch
Where ‘origin’ is the name of your remote (origin is the default, ‘git remote’ to view names of your remotes) and destination_branch is the name of the branch you wish to merge changes from source_branch into.
Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing [email protected]
