The issue has been closed
This is a follow up to #865 and #975
If a branch is protected and has the flag Require status checks to pass before merging enabled, then I don't see how I could use the existing feature.

Because until those checks aren't successful, I just see a grayed out button and can't press anything:

It would be awesome, if there would be another button (created by this extension) next to it, to merge as soon as all checks have passed.

To add this feature, we'd have to recreate the whole form, including the logic between merging types. Additionally, we can't know which merging types are available (e.g. a repo only allows Squashing). Sounds impossible 🙁
I think you should ask GitHub to implement our wait-for-build
feature (regardless of this requirement)

fwiw this works for me as a browser snippet
function autoMerge() {
const btn = window.$$('button').filter(el=>el.innerText === 'Merge pull request')[0]
if (btn) {
btn.click()
const btn2 = window.$$('button').filter(btn=>btn.innerText === 'Confirm merge')[0];
if (btn2) {
btn2.click()
return
}
}
setTimeout(autoMerge, 1000)
}
window.$$ = $$;
autoMerge();

That only works if you're fine with the default commit title and message. It's a good workaround but probably most people would expect to be able to preview/edit them.
Thank you for posting it!

@fregante can you add a little message next to the merge button that explains why the feature isn't working? I thought there was an issue with GHR originally

Thanks for the update!
That’s completely different from “Auto-merging” as intended by this extension (i.e. the user still has to click Merge whereas GitHub’s new feature will be completely automatic) but it’s probably what most people are after 🎉

this isn't true. You still have to tick the "merge when pipeline passes" checkbox

Indeed, I think that changed since it came out of beta.
Too bad GitHub decided to make this a per-repo option rather than just allowing it on every repo like Refined GitHub does.

@fregante perhaps GitHub refined should automatically enable this feature on all repositories the user has access to on first install?

That's not something the extension should do. A cli tool would be better suited to do batch changes across multiple repos.
