Overview

This node operation allows users to add a runner to a specific project in GitLab by making a POST request to the GitLab API endpoint `/api/v4/projects/{id}/runners`. It is useful for automating the management of CI/CD runners associated with GitLab projects, enabling continuous integration workflows to be dynamically configured or updated.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically register a new runner to a project when setting up CI/CD pipelines.
  2. Manage runners for multiple projects programmatically to ensure proper resource allocation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Determines whether to skip authentication for the API request.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method to use, defaulting to GitLab API key authentication.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API request is sent, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method used for the request, defaulting to POST for this operation.
Path Parameters The path parameters for the API request, specifically the project ID or URL-encoded path identifying the project to which the runner will be added.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the project to which the runner was added.
  • runner - Details of the runner added to the project, including its configuration and status.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID provided in the path parameters is correct and accessible by the authenticated user.
  • Verify that the API key credential has sufficient permissions to add runners to the project.
  • Check the base URL to confirm it points to the correct GitLab instance if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • Common error messages may include authentication failures, permission denied errors, or invalid project ID errors. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, permissions, and input parameters.
