In case it helps, the affected PR was https://github.com/staabm/rector-view-scope/pull/19

This error occurs when the PullRequest.mergeStateStatus field is BLOCKED, but Kodiak can't determine why.

Kodiak sets the error message here:

https://github.com/chdsbd/kodiak/blob/618993d7db1bf27847d9e938ccef28b084b8a13c/bot/kodiak/evaluation.py#L1026-L1031

I think I had a similar issue recently. My PR looked mergeable in the UI, but when I called the GitHub API, it said the PullRequest.mergeStateStatus was BLOCKED. Retrying my API request didn't resolve the issue. My guess is there's some consistency issue with the GitHub API.

If this happens again we can try opening a support ticket with GitHub.

@clxmstaab If possible, next time this happens don't merge the pull request. That way we can open an issue with GitHub Support. I don't think there's anything we can do right now since we don't have an example to show GitHub.
