Adding the label does not trigger autorebase

[ebsaral]

I installed the app, and gave permission to our private repo. But when I add the label autorebase, it doesn't trigger the bot. I am able to see the bot autorebase in the author list. Should we do something additional like adding the webhook manually?

Another thing is that our target branch is staging, not master. Does this cause the problem?

Hi Emin,

Installing the app and enabling it on a repo is all you need to do. However, PRs labeled with autorebase won't be rebased if they have failing status checks as explained in the README. Where you expecting another behavior? If yes, which one?

Hi @tibdex ,

I read the readme and like you said, it's green but still it does not work. Is there a specific order about when to add the label? Please check the screenshot I took. I have to mention again that it's a private repo. I can't think of a proper reason why it shouldn't work. :/ I would really love to use this app.

The app is working fine for me and other projects are using it without issues. I don't have access to the logs of last week. Could you try again and tell me about it so that I can look into the GitHub webhooks sent and the logs on Zeit's Now?

Hey. I have just seen your message, and applied the label immediately right now. I would be happy if you could check the logs. Thank you!

I checked and GitHub indeed sent a webhook following your label addition. So this means the app is correctly installed on your repo.
However, I tried to do a dry-run of Autorebase on your PR but it's now closed/merged. Can you please open a dummy PR on the same repo, put it in a green/mergeable state, add the autorebase label, tell me when it's done, and keep it open. I'll then do another dry-run and try to gather more information. My suspicion is that GitHub would see your PR's mergeableStateStatus as different from clean/behind.

I believe the issue comes from the branch protection settings. When I remove the protection on the branch, autorebase worked successfully.

Do we have to reconfigure the settings or do you have any suggestion to give permission to autorebase app?

Hi Emin,

Autorebase will need push permission on the head branch of the PR to be able to rebase it and on its base branch to be able to merge it. I don’t know if you can add Autorebase to the list of “people and teams with puss access” visible in your screenshot.

I usually never use this “restrict who can push to matching branches” setting and prefer to require pull requests to be approved by a “code owner” reviewer instead. Maybe you could try that too.

Did you manage to make it work?
