Gitlab Importer - Skip some validations in Project/Group import
What does this MR do?
Some Project/Group imports are not importing all the relations due to some subrelations (nested relations) being invalid. To avoid that, and fix exceptions like #285107 (closed), every relation created will, from now on, will be validated.
Though, while working on enabling this validation, some tests failed, exposing that some validations are actually blocking some imports.
Validations to check if a major association exists, or follow some kind of requirements, like "DiffNote validating if the MergeRequest is associated", doesn't work in the import process because the relations are created in a nested way. Something like:
diff_note = DiffNote.create(diff_note_attributes)
mr = MergeRequest.create(mr_attributes, diff_notes: [diff_note])
This commit skip these validations on the importing process, using the
validates :validation, unless: :importing?
pattern.
