Gitlab auto approve

[artemptushkin]

Tell us more.

The property autoapprove is available only for the Azure platform.

Though it's a valuable feature for others, for example, if you have more than one approval required you can set one auto-approve from the Renovate bot.

It Aitlab it can be done with calling the API https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/merge_request_approvals.html#approve-merge-request

[rarkins]

Assuming that Renovate is running as a regular user with PAT, is it allowed to approve its own merge requests?

[viceice]

github and gitea forbid approving own PR's

[artemptushkin]

yes, it's a setting https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/settings.html#prevent-approval-by-author

I just implemented this feature but with a custom job using Renovate token

[artemptushkin]

@rarkins any chance this will be taken into the Renovate backlog?

The docs indicate that gitlab is supported:

Please take a look and clarify what difference you are asking for
