GitLab and Pull Request Previews

1

I have enabled Pull Request Previews for Static Site repo in GitLab and then created new Merge Request, but render.com Dashboard didn’t pick it up.

There is no Merge Request in the Dashboard PRs tab and nothing came up under GitLab MR.

GitLab Documentation says it PR Previews work with GitLab - so I’m wondering whether I’m doing something wrong or the feature is broken at this moment.

Responded via a private channel.

The problem was caused by the connected GitLab user role which was Reporter for this repository.

Reporter role doesn’t have permission to add GitLab Project Webhooks (see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html)

Solution:

  • I’ve changed member’s role to Maintainer
  • Created new temporary service with same repo which triggered Webhook creation for the GitLab project
  • Removed temporary service

Thanks Jade for support!
