Overview

This node operation updates a specific feature flag for a project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing feature flags programmatically, such as enabling or disabling features for different projects dynamically. For example, a user can automate the process of toggling feature flags during deployment or testing phases.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating a feature flag to enable a new feature for a project.
  2. Disabling a feature flag for a project to roll back a feature.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use, typically an API key credential for GitLab.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method to use for the request, default is PUT for this operation.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after updating the feature flag, containing details of the updated feature flag.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and feature flag name are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Verify that the authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to update feature flags.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance instead of gitlab.com.
  • Common error messages include 401 Unauthorized (authentication issues), 404 Not Found (invalid project ID or feature flag name), and 400 Bad Request (invalid request body). Resolving these involves correcting credentials, parameters, or request payload.
