Description
When setting up a gitlab element via this library it would be nice to easily detect if there was any actual changes to the object in order to determine whether a save() is necessary
Currently i use this (maybe something similiar could be included?)
def is_modified(self): for k in self.__dict__['_updated_attrs'].keys(): if k == 'id': continue if k == 'password': #since we can't verify change in password we just assume that it is a change return True if k in self.__dict__['_attrs']: if self.__dict__['_updated_attrs'][k] != self.__dict__['_attrs'][k]: return True elif k in self.__dict__['_attrs']['properties']: if self.__dict__['_updated_attrs'][k] != self.__dict__['_attrs']['properties'][k]: return True else: raise Exception('Could not determine if \'%s\' was a changed property' % k) return False setattr(gitlab.base.RESTObject, 'is_modified', is_modified)usage:
approvals = project.approvals.get()approvals.reset_approvals_on_push = Trueif approvals.is_modified(): approvals.save() #only send post if there's actually changesSpecifications
