Describe the bug

I can request a review from a team for a pull-request using the following command:

gh pr edit 180 --add-reviewer <org>/<team-name> --repo <org-name>/<repo-name>

But I can not remove the same team with the following command:

gh pr edit 180 --remove-reviewer <org>/<team-name> --repo <org-name>/<repo-name>

(it works for regular users)

The CLI exits with code 0 and no error is logged, but the team is not removed from the PR.
I can remove the team through the PR UI though.

The repository is an internal one and I'm an owner of the organization.

Affected version

2.72.0

    If I execute the command through my account on the CLI and I'm not part of the team I'm trying to remove it seems to work fine. So it seems to be related to the actor's membership status in the team?

    I tried using a GitHub app from within a GitHub action to not trigger it through my account, but the action also seems to run into the same problem of not being able to remove the team that I'm apart of.
    I'm also the author of the PR in question - might this be part of the problem?

    Thanks for reporting this issue, @tobias-tengler!

    I looked into this and I could reproduce it. The gist is there's an if-statement that aborts the process of updating reviewers if the final slices of both user reviewers and team reviewers are empty, which is not correct because in your case (and what I tried) the user wants to drop all reviewers. Here's the code piece I'm talking about:

    cli/pkg/cmd/pr/edit/edit.go

    Lines 281 to 289 in 90532e8

    func updatePullRequestReviews(httpClient *http.Client, repo ghrepo.Interface, id string, editable shared.Editable) error {
    userIds, teamIds, err := editable.ReviewerIds()
    if err != nil {
    return err
    }
    if (userIds == nil || len(*userIds) == 0) &&
    (teamIds == nil || len(*teamIds) == 0) {
    return nil
    }
    See More

    I could temporarily fix this by dropping the len(.)==0 conditions, but I think the code needs a bit more polishing, especially the pointer-to-slice implementation which is not a Go idiomatic way of handling slices.

    @tobias-tengler, to make sure I'm not missing any other factors here, could you please also share with me the output of running the command below? Please redact unnecessary details/secrets.

    Here's the A/C based on my observations, so far.

    Acceptance Criteria

    Removing user reviewer

    Given I have a PR with only a user reviewer assigned to it
    When I run gh pr edit --remove-reviewer <user>
    Then the PR is updated and has no reviewers

    Removing team reviewer

    Given I have a PR with only a team reviewer assigned to it
    When I run gh pr edit --remove-reviewer <org>/<team>
    Then the PR is updated and has no reviewers

    Removing both

    Given I have a PR with both a user and a team reviewer assigned to it
    When I run gh pr edit --remove-reviewer <user>,<org>/<team>
    Then the PR is updated and has no reviewers

    Thanks for the prompt reply, @tobias-tengler! 🙏

    This confirms what I'm referring to. There is no mutation request for updating the reviewers in the trail, just like what I observed on my end. It should have something like this near the end of the trail (which will drop all reviewers assigned).

    GraphQL query:
mutation PullRequestUpdateRequestReviews($input:RequestReviewsInput!){requestReviews(input: $input){pullRequest{id}}}
GraphQL variables: {"input":{"pullRequestId":"???","userIds":[],"teamIds":[],"union":false}}

...

{
  "data": {
    "requestReviews": {
      "pullRequest": {
        "id": "???"
      }
    }
  }
}

    To reiterate on your original issue, it's not with the teams. It happens whenever you're removing all reviewers regardless of their type (user or team). For example, if you have a PR with just a single user reviewer assigned to it, removing that reviewer would also fail.

    I didn't even think that it could be related to the number of reviewers, because I thought there already was another reviewing team 🤦‍♂️

    Turns out it was just the preview of a team that would get added as CODEOWNERS once I published the PR.
    This also explains why it was working for me with another team, since I was adding that team in addition to the team I was trying to remove, so there actually would've been a team left, once the other team was removed.

    So it seems to be caused by the issue that you've found!

    Makes sense. Thanks for confirmation.

    @tobias-tengler, I have created #10975 to fix this issue.

    If you like, you can try building from source (the PR's branch) and check if the changes work for you.
