I really wanted to like gitlab, but have had so many reliability issues. The UI thinking the source branch doesn’t exist, CI jobs not running for hours etc.

- Gigachad 5y agoHaha that UI branch name thing is hilarious. Everyone at work has the same problem and has had it for the year and a half we have been using gitlab but the gitlab devs insist it doesn't happen for them. You can workaround it by pressing the right arrow at the end of the text.
- trulyme 5y agoI've been using GL at work for many years now and while it has many faults (the MR comment/thread/discussion UX is atrocious for example), I don't think I stumbled across this one. What is it about? (I still like GL, and I much prefer their CI to GH Actions - I just wish they would put more effort in improving existing features)
- Gigachad 5y agoOn that blue "create merge request" button on the issue page, there is a drop down arrow to let you pick a branch to start from. That text input is super buggy and often says the branch does not exist even if the name is correct.
- trulyme 5y agoInteresting, I never noticed because I usually make a MR from the link I get when I do a git push (which I find super useful btw). It does sound like a myriad other smallish annoyances. Thanks for describing it!
- yibg 5y agoSome times when trying to merge in a MR, the UI will say the source branch doesn’t exist so the MR can’t be merged. Wait a bit and it usually resolves itself. But it’s super annoying when you are in a rush.
