GitLab - autoApprove + "Remove approvals by Code Owners if their files changed" race condition?

[cody-reibsome]

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

GitLab, Renovate v41.81.1

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Context/Configuration

I have renovate set up to scan a repository with the following relevant configuration:

• Required approvals are enabled (min 1)
• Approvals by CODEOWNERS are enabled (renovate-bot is set up as a CODEOWNER for relevant files)
• "Prevent approval by author" is unchecked
• "Prevent approvals by users who add commits" is unchecked
• "Prevent editing approval rules in merge requests" is unchecked
• When a commit is added: Remove approvals by Code Owners if their files changed
• A merge train is enabled

Renovate is set to automerge, platformAutomerge, autoApprove, and has gitLabIgnoreApprovals set to true. I have renovate running in a scheduled pipeline every two hours from 6pm - 6am, and on weekends.

Issue

Renovate will often "autoApprove" a newly created merge request, and then immediately add new changes to the branch, revoking the approvals.

This does not happen every time, but happens frequently enough for it to be painful. I don't see anything particularly helpful in the logs, I have just enabled debug log level and can follow up here when I see the behavior happen again with more detailed logging.

I know some of this is from an existing issue (renovate not supporting automerge w/ GitLab merge trains), but "PR not yet in mergeable state" after attempting to approve seems suspect and in line with the behavior I'm seeing.

I have nearly the same configuration as you and was experiencing the same problem. Increasing RENOVATE_X_GITLAB_MERGE_REQUEST_DELAY to 2000 works for me, but only when Renovate opens a single MR against a repository. I am going to try increasing it even more to see if that helps when opening multiple MRs. Reference: https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-experimental/#renovate_x_gitlab_merge_request_delay
