Overview

This node operation allows uploading files to a specific GitLab project by making a POST request to the GitLab API endpoint `/api/v4/projects/{id}/uploads`. It is useful for automating file uploads to GitLab projects, such as adding images, documents, or other assets programmatically within workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Uploading a project logo or image to a GitLab project.
  2. Automating the upload of release assets or documentation files to a project repository.

  • id - The unique identifier of the uploaded file.
  • alt - Alternative text for the uploaded file.
  • url - The URL where the uploaded file can be accessed.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID path parameter is correctly set and corresponds to an existing project in GitLab.
  • Verify that the authentication credentials (GitLab API key) are valid and have sufficient permissions to upload files to the project.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure it is correct.
  • Common errors include authentication failures, invalid project ID, or file upload size limits imposed by GitLab.
