Pull request overview

Adds support for GitLab’s merge train merge-request endpoints (MR status on merge train + adding an MR to a merge train) to python-gitlab, along with unit tests and docs, addressing issue #2547.

Changes:

  • Extend ProjectMergeTrainManager to support get() and add a nested merge_requests manager for merge train MR status/add-to-train endpoints.
  • Add unit tests covering merge train listing, MR status retrieval, and adding an MR to a merge train.
  • Document the new merge train MR classes/managers and provide usage examples.

As a note. It would be nice if it was squashed down to maybe 1 commit? Less than 12 sounds like a good start.

RESTManager._get_parent_ref_id() only supports parent refs that expose an .iid attribute. In this codebase many nested refs (including merge train merge_request) are plain dicts, so this fallback will silently return None even when the dict contains an iid key. Consider supporting dict-like refs (e.g., isinstance(parent_ref, dict) and 'iid' in parent_ref) and returning the raw value without casting to int so str IIDs are also handled correctly.

Suggested change
if hasattr(parent_ref, "iid"):
return cast(int, parent_ref.iid)
if isinstance(parent_ref, dict) and "iid" in parent_ref:
return parent_ref["iid"]
if hasattr(parent_ref, "iid"):
return parent_ref.iid

The GetMixin.get() docstring mentions falling back to _parent_ref_id, but the implementation uses self._get_parent_ref_id() and relies on _parent_ref_attr. Update the wording so it matches the actual mechanism (and attribute name) to avoid confusing API consumers.

the parent reference resolved by ``self._get_parent_ref_id()``

on the manager).

This test treats merge_train.merge_requests.update(...) as returning a list (indexing [0]), but UpdateMixin.update() is typed/documented as returning a dict. Please align the expected response shape with the actual GitLab API response and/or wrap/override the manager method with a correctly typed return value so users don't get misleading type hints.

@isaac-philip Please make the commit message a bit more informative

Currently it is basically just a subject line that says:

feat(functional): merge-train api add and status #2547

It is hard to tell from the message what is being added, what “status” refers to, or whether this is about merge train objects, merge train merge requests, or functional test coverage.

Also the PR number should not be in the commit message.

Is this really needed? Is it really used? I'd prefer to not add this if it isn't needed. It doesn't seem like the tests (non-mixin ones) actually end up using this.

Or I don't understand the changes very well.

I was reviewing this with the help of Claude Code. I ended up coming up with this.

The nesting of ProjectMergeTrainMergeRequestManager under ProjectMergeTrain is misleading because the merge train's ID is never used in the URL. Compare with the established pattern in this codebase:

# ProjectDeploymentMergeRequest — deployment id IS in the path:
_path = "/projects/{project_id}/deployments/{deployment_id}/merge_requests"
_from_parent_attrs = {"deployment_id": "id", "project_id": "project_id"}

# ProjectMergeRequestDiffVersion — MR iid IS in the path:
_path = "/projects/{project_id}/merge_requests/{mr_iid}/versions"
_from_parent_attrs = {"project_id": "project_id", "mr_iid": "iid"}

In both cases _from_parent_attrs includes the parent's own ID so it genuinely scopes the child resource. Here, _from_parent_attrs = {"project_id": "project_id"} only borrows project_id — the merge train's id is silently discarded. This means:

project.merge_trains.get(1,   lazy=True).merge_requests.get(5)  # GET /projects/1/merge_trains/merge_requests/5
project.merge_trains.get(999, lazy=True).merge_requests.get(5)  # GET /projects/1/merge_trains/merge_requests/5  (identical)

The 1 vs 999 makes no difference. A user would reasonably expect the merge train ID to matter.

The GitLab API endpoint /projects/:id/merge_trains/merge_requests/:iid is a project-level resource, not scoped to a specific merge train. The consistent approach would be to attach the manager directly to Project, alongside merge_trains:

# projects.py
merge_trains: ProjectMergeTrainManager
merge_train_merge_requests: ProjectMergeTrainMergeRequestManager

# merge_trains.py
class ProjectMergeTrainMergeRequestManager(...):
    _path = "/projects/{project_id}/merge_trains/merge_requests"
    _from_parent_attrs = {"project_id": "id"}  # "id" from Project directly

Usage becomes project.merge_train_merge_requests.get(mr_iid) — accurate and consistent with the rest of the codebase.
