### Description

Despite creating a new `codecov.yaml` file specifically for the repo, updating my `.gitlab-ci.yaml` file with the required script to enable the coverage file to be pushed, and creating a webhook for GitLab within Codecov, I am not getting any comments being pushed to any of my merge requests.

Testing the webhook reveals that it is getting a `500` error for merge request events:

 ![GitLab_Webhook_500](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/codecov/original/2X/f/f3e792a2238ea68929cb1a50bc2a943e1d107a24.png)

I can provide information pertaining to how the webhook is configured, if required.

I’ve also noticed that all of my commits show " **Waiting for CI to complete**" at the top of the screen, and clicking the “Push notifications now” link results in a notification stating “Notification job queued.”

It’s worth noting that the GitLab Pipeline starts successfully when expected, and I am able to view the coverage reports at [codecov.io](http://codecov.io).

Am I missing something somewhere?

@amkuchta, I’m seeing some 403 errors when trying to hit GitLab public endpoints like

```auto
https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/21557982/merge_requests/10

```

Do you know why this might be, some GitLab specific permissions?

@tom I’m not seeing anything on my end - the project is public. I haev the repo (and merge requests) locked down to “Only Project Members”, but since I am a project member (and my account is set as the bot), I don’t think this would be a problem.

@tom I verified this by temporarily swapping permissions over to “Everyone with access” and testing the webhook again - still getting a 500 response.

@amkuchta, sorry I meant this as specific to GitLab. In order to get merge request information, we have to hit GitLab’s API ([https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/21557982/merge\_requests/10](https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/21557982/merge_requests/10)), but that is showing a 403 forbidden. Do you know why this might be?

@tom I logged into a brand new computer, created a new PR, and submitted. I noticed that the CI build is showing as passing now, but it doesn’t recognize that I am the user who made the commits (“Unknown”, “Somebody”):

Hi @amkuchta, are you using the same git user settings (email and name) on this computer? That would explain the `Unknown`. I am still seeing a permissions issue. I don’t THINK it will change anything, but just to humor me, would you go through the cookies step?

@tom I went through the cookies step, and still no joy on the comments… I did notice, however, that I am still getting a ‘CI Passed’ in Codecov.

And I didn’t check my git settings on the other system, but that could have very well been the issue.

@amkuchta, apologies, that particular endpoint is authenticated, so it makes sense that we cannot access it directly as such. We made a small change on our end, and I’m curious to see if it’s helped things. Would you be able to push up a new commit and share the SHA?

Let me know if that helps. It’s worth mentioning that it looks like it still is not posting the comment on the merge request.

Sorry but where did you get information on how to set this up? Docs don’t say anything about getting comments to work with gitlab and the page on comments doesn’t mention webhooks at all. What am I missing?
