Options related to squash are not available when merging the merge request #1982
Closed as not planned
Description
Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet
Options related to squash are not available when merging the merge request
Expected Behavior
All options available in the API should be available as parameters
Actual Behavior
Only merge_commit_message, should_remove_source_branch and merge_when_pipeline_succeeds are available. The options sha, squash_commit_message and squash are missing.
Specifications
- python-gitlab version: 3.3.0
- API version you are using (v3/v4): v4
- Gitlab server version (or gitlab.com): gitlab.com
I checked the code and in the gitlab.v4.objects.ProjectMergeRequest.merge method, the kwargs are ignored. Only 3 hardcoded options are being used.

Thanks for the report.
To keep this maintainable I guess we should move to always using
kwargsin combination withRequiredOptionaltuples even for custom methods, instead of manually parsing them.github-actions commentedon Jul 9, 2025

This issue was closed because it has been marked stale for 15 days
with no activity.
This open-source project relies on community contributions, and
while we value all feedback, we have a limited capacity to address
every issue without a clear path forward.
Currently, this issue hasn't received a proposed fix, and there
hasn't been recent active discussion indicating someone is planning
to work on it. To maintain a manageable backlog and focus our
efforts, we will be closing this issue for now.
This doesn't mean the issue isn't valid or important. If you or
anyone else in the community is willing to investigate and propose
a solution (e.g., by submitting a pull request), please do.
We believe that those who feel a bug is important enough to fix
should ideally be part of the solution. Your contributions are
highly welcome.
Thank you for your understanding and potential future
contributions.
