Create a merge request link in Git shell doesn't work for forks (error 500)
Summary
When pushing a new branch to a fork, something like this is displayed:
remote: To create a merge request for fork-branch, visit:
remote: http://localhost:3000/arvid-group/foo/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=fork-branch
The provided link leads to error 500.
Steps to reproduce
- clone fork (doesn't happen with non-forked projects)
- create new branch
- commit and push
- click link to create a new merge request
What is the current bug behavior?
Error 500 with the following happening in the backend:
Object not found - no match for id (...)
at merge_base
inside the Repository
model. The commit with the given id can be accessed through the web interface and is displayed without problems.
What is the expected correct behavior?
A new merge request is created.
Possible fixes
Inside merge_base
, @path_to_repo
doesn't point to the fork. So the commit may be looked up in the wrong project.
