Merge blocked: fast-forward merge is not possible. To merge this request, first rebase locally

I'm working on two branches and they have an open pull request to the develop branch.

My two branches are:

  1. test-increase-test-coverage
  2. feat-add-daily-mileage

I got this error when I wanted to merge them with develop branch:
Merge blocked: fast-forward merge is not possible. To merge this request, first rebase locally.

These two branches had conflicts so I rebased test-increase-test-coverage branch with feat-add-daily-mileage branch with these commands:

git checkout test-increase-test-coverage
git fetch feat-add-daily-mileage
git rebase origin/feat-add-daily-mileage

# Then I fixed conflicts and commited

git rebase --continue
git push -f origin test-increase-test-coverage

These branches no longer have any conflicts and when I run this command git rebase origin/feat-add-daily-mileage again I get this message:
Current branch test-increase-test-coverage is up to date.

But I still see this error message Merge blocked: fast-forward merge is not possible. To merge this request, first rebase locally. in Gitlab.

How can I fix this?

gitlab merge git

You might need to rebase them locally on top of origin/develop first.
Then your merge would be a fast-forward one.

You need to do so for one branch, test-increase-test-coverage for instance. And merge it to develop.

Then you do the same for the other branch feat-add-daily-mileage (after a fetch, to get the newly updated origin/develop)
