Filtering of Merge Request by date wise

[ricky001]

There is no function in the jar from which we can filter the merge request based on date.
But in GitLab API https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/merge_requests.html we can filter based on created_after or created_before or updated_after or updated_before.

How can we filter the merge request based on date wise?

[gmessner]

Use the getMergeRequests() methods that take an instance of MergeRequestFilter:

public List<MergeRequest> getMergeRequests(MergeRequestFilter filter) 
public List<MergeRequest> getMergeRequests(MergeRequestFilter filter, int page, int perPage)
public Pager<MergeRequest> getMergeRequests(MergeRequestFilter filter, int itemsPerPage) 

You can specify the dates in the filter as follows:

MergeRequestFilter filter = new MergeRequestFilter()
    .withUpdatedAfter(ISO8601.toDate("2018-07-02")
    .withUpdatedBefore(ISO8601.toDate("2018-07-05");

@gmessner Not able to find below methods in jar 4.8.8 or 4.8.3

public List getMergeRequests(MergeRequestFilter filter)
public List getMergeRequests(MergeRequestFilter filter, int page, int perPage)
public Pager getMergeRequests(MergeRequestFilter filter, int itemsPerPage)

@ricky001
These methods where added in release 4.8.21, my appologies for not mentioning that.

@gmessner The below method does not provide to filter the merge request of a single project

[tricharu]

MergeRequestFilter filter = new MergeRequestFilter()
.withUpdatedAfter(ISO8601.toDate("2018-05-31"))
.withUpdatedBefore(ISO8601.toDate("2018-07-01"))
;

	List<Project> projects=gitLabApi.getProjectApi().getProjects("sample-bots");
	
	//for(Project project:projects)
	{
		Pager<MergeRequest> merges=gitLabApi.getMergeRequestApi().getMergeRequests(filter, 50);
		while(merges.hasNext())
		{
			List<MergeRequest> merge=merges.next();
			for(MergeRequest merg:merge)
			{
				System.out.println(merg.getMergeStatus()+","+merg.getDescription());
			}
			
		}
	}

Support for filtering by project and merge request IID has been added and is available in release 4.8.34

You'll find 2 new properties that can be set on the MergeRequestFilter:

.withProjectId(Integer projectId)
.withIids(List<Integer> mergeRequestIids)

[gmessner]

@tricharu
I overlooked adding the withProjectId() and withIids() methods, I have added them but they are not available in the 4.8.34 release, you'll need to use the following until 4.8.35 is released:

filter.setProjectId(Integer projectId)
filter.setIids(List<Integer> mergeRequestIids)

[gmessner]

@tricharu
4.8.35 has been released, this includes the missing methods from MergeRequestFilter:

.withProjectId(Integer projectId)
.withIids(List<Integer> mergeRequestIids)

@gmessner Thanks for the updates....
if we want to get the comments given line level under "Changes" tab in merge request not the conversation how to get that part

[gmessner]

@tricharu
I believe the following methods on the NotesApi are what you are looking for:

public List<Note> getMergeRequestNotes(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid) 
public List<Note> getMergeRequestNotes(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid, SortOrder sortOrder, Note.OrderBy orderBy)
public List<Note> getMergeRequestNotes(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid, int page, int perPage)
public List<Note> getMergeRequestNotes(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid, SortOrder sortOrder, Note.OrderBy orderBy, int page, int perPage)
public Pager<Note> getMergeRequestNotes(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid, int itemsPerPage)
public Pager<Note> getMergeRequestNotes(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid, SortOrder sortOrder, Note.OrderBy orderBy, int itemsPerPage)
public Note getMergeRequestNote(Integer projectId, Integer mergeRequestIid, Integer noteId) 

If you are looking for the comments on the commits in the merge request, take a look at these in the CommitsApi:

public List<Comment> getComments(int projectId, String sha)
public Pager<Comment> getComments(int projectId, String sha, int itemsPerPage)

will be available such filters for users with parameters from https://docs.gitlab.com/api/users/?

smth like:

public List getUsers(UserFilter filter)
