Resolve "GitLab Migration - More fine-grained status for group bulk imports"

Illya Klymov requested to merge 330887-gitlab-migration-more-fine-grained-status-for-group-bulk-imports into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR changes backend to create separate bulk import entity for each request provided and updates frontend accordingly

Previously, when initiating multiple imports they shared same bulk import id and had status in sync

How to set up and validate locally

(this assumes your gitlab instance is running on localhost / http://127.0.0.1:3000)

  1. Create personal access token (PAT) at http://localhost:3000/-/profile/personal_access_tokens with api scope

  2. Go to New Group -> Import (http://localhost:3000/groups/new#import-group-pane)

  3. Use http://127.0.0.1:3000 as source instance (localhost might not work) and PAT created on step one

  4. Setup import as following (you can use video as reference):

    • Select two groups to import
    • Select one group (for example gnuwget to target gnuwget/something)

  5. Initiate import but clicking "Import selected on top"

  6. Observe expected behavior:

    • One group immediately fails with error message
    • Two groups are imported, and their status change independently (Note: you might be unlucky and two imports change their status simultaneously due to 3 seconds polling. Just try again)
