Issue Summary
- If there are user in gitlab which have an ambiguous name like following then which ever user is first in alphabetical order is reported as Author.
xyz zxyz mxyz axyz
- It seems that following gitlab API is being used to fetch these users in Jira. This fetch all users matching expression "xyz"
<gitlab-url>/api/v4/users?search=<emailorusername>
- Instead following api should be used to get specific user information.
<gitlab-url>/api/v4/users?username=xyz
This is reproducible on Data Center: no
Steps to Reproduce
NA
Expected Results
Dev tool sidebar is showing the wrong user for actions taken in GitLab. Instead of showing actions done by user "xyz", the DVCS-Connector seems to show the first in alphabetical order containing that username, hence showing "axyz" as "actor".
Following API should be used instead to get correct user information.
<gitlab-url>/api/v4/users?username=xyz
Actual Results
The below exception is thrown in the xxxxxxx.log file:
2024-02-16 16:35:04,746+0100 DVCSConnector.EventService:thread-1 WARN [c.a.j.p.d.spi.gitlab.GitLabCommunicator] Provided user identifier 'xyz' is ambiguous.
