- Around line 811-812: Move the fm.gitlabURL assignment in submitGitlabURL to
after SavePluginConfig completes successfully, so failed saves do not alter
runtime state. Add a test covering SavePluginConfig returning an error and
verify the manager retains its previous URL.

The /setup flow stored a custom GitLab URL only on the in-memory FlowManager and in the KV instance, never in the plugin settings. The GitLab API client is rebuilt from config.GitlabURL, so after completing the wizard against a self-hosted instance the OAuth token was sent to gitlab.com and every API call failed with 401. Fixes mattermost/mattermost#37497

submitDelegateSelection doesn't check the delegate is an admin so a non admin can reach this step. That was fine when it only set the in memory URL but now it writes the plugin setting and rebuilds p.GitlabClient so they could point the whole integration at their own host.
stepSetDefaultInstance does an isAuthorizedSysAdmin(f.UserID) check for the same reason. Can we add that here and on the gitlab.com button above?

Both tests cover setGitlabURL, which already saved the config. Nothing covers submitGitlabURL, which is what actually changed. f is unused in the body so you can pass nil.

Summary
Running
/setupand choosing a custom (self-hosted) GitLab URL stored the URL only on the in-memoryFlowManagerand in the KV instance configuration — it never reached the plugin settings. The GitLab API client is rebuilt fromconfig.GitlabURLinOnConfigurationChange, so it stayed pointed athttps://gitlab.com.As a result, the OAuth authorize/token steps went to the self-hosted instance (through the KV instance credentials), but the follow-up
GET /api/v4/userwas sent to gitlab.com with the self-hosted token and failed:This also matches the reporter's workaround: configuring the URL through the System Console (which does write the plugin setting) makes the connection work.
Changes:
submitGitlabURLnow persists the submitted URL throughsetGitlabURLinstead of only assigning the in-memory field.setGitlabURLwrites the URL into the saved plugin configuration — previously it saved the configuration map untouched (leftover TODO). The configuration is cloned first, following the concurrency strategy documented inconfiguration.go.make testpasses (382 tests).Ticket Link
Fixes: mattermost/mattermost#37497
Change Impact: 🟡 Medium
Reasoning: The change updates plugin configuration persistence in the
/setupflow. It affects a user-facing GitLab connection path but remains isolated to the flow manager and its tests.Regression Risk: The risk is moderate because the change alters configuration saving behavior. Unit tests cover successful saves and save failures. Manual validation should confirm both hosted and self-hosted GitLab setup flows.
** QA Recommendation:** Perform focused manual QA for custom GitLab URLs and verify API requests use the saved URL. Skipping manual QA carries a moderate risk of missing integration-specific configuration issues.
