gtt fails if 'merge requests' feature is off

[daniviga]

We have some projects on a self-hosted GitLab instance that are mainly used for issue tracking and thus they have the 'merge requests' feature off.

In such cases gtt fails with an error:

gtt report sysadmin/infrastructure
🔍  Selected projects: sysadmin/infrastructure
🔍  Resolving "sysadmin/infrastructure"... ✓
📦  Fetching issues... ✓
📦  Fetching merge requests... ✗
Error: could not fetch merge requests.

Everything works fine with the feature enabled.

Would it be possible to just skip the collection of statistics from 'merge requests' when the feature has been disabled instead of making the entire process fail?

We are running gtt 1.7.40 on Linux.
Many thanks for your work!

@daniviga try

gtt report --query=issues sysadmin/infrastructure

it will skip merge requests

the same happens for me. It should just skip or check before attempting to get MRs if they are enabled.

Yes, it would be nice if this could be dynamic since when you are running against a "group" you could have a mix of projects with the features enabled or disabled. Having a "soft fail" if a project is missing issues, or missing merge requests would be optimal
