API notify_release is not working, throws exception

API throws a cryptic exception if used

Dependabot-Gitlab Version:

Helm Chart: 0.7.0 Depedendabot: 0.19.0

How to reproduce:

curl https://dependabot.customdomain.tld/api/notify_release \
     -H 'X-Gitlab-Token: <API TOKEN REDACTED>' \
     -X POST \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"name": "@code/custom-package", "package_ecosystem":"npm"}'

An example is with the custom package, but essentially it fails for any package and any ecosystem.

Response:

{
  "status": 500,
  "error": "undefined method `entries' for nil:NilClass"
}

Expectations:

  • It should schedule a NotifyReleaseJob
  • It should not respond with HTTP 500 and a cryptic exception

Assumptions:

I think it has something to deal with this line
