How long to detect manual merge in Bitbucket server?

[maddy302]

Hi All,

When I perform a manual merge of a PR in Bitbucket server, sometimes it detects the merge and marks the PR as merged. Sometimes it doesn't event after waiting overnight.

By Manual Merge , I mean, Locally - 
- git clone

- git checkout dev/feature, git rebase master, git merge -ff-only, git push -f remote master

Can someone please help me understand what should be done on dev and master to get assured response from Bitbucket that a merge has occured.

Thanks.

Hey @maddy302 , I think that pretty much depends on how you perform the manual merge and what merge strategy you are using. If you manually merge a pull request branch without changing the commits, then Bitbucket should close the existing pull request.

Sry I should have been more elaborate -

By manual merge I mean,

- I download the repo locally

- checkout the branch of the PR

- use the command line to git rebase master, git merge --ff-only locally, then push using git push -f origin master

Sometimes bitbucket detects and many a times it doesn't.

Updating the steps in the question as well.

Hey @maddy302 I think you might try to create a support request if that problem is something you can reproduce on your local instance. Here is the link you can use https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/
