Overview

This node operation deletes a specific release from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It targets a release identified by the project ID (or URL-encoded path) and the associated Git tag name. This operation is useful for automating the removal of outdated or incorrect releases in a GitLab project.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically delete a release when a new version is published to keep the project clean.
  2. Remove a release associated with a specific tag after a rollback or hotfix deployment.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates whether the release deletion was successful.
  • statusCode - HTTP status code returned by the API after the delete request.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and tag name are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the API key is missing or invalid; verify credentials.
  • The release may not exist or may have already been deleted, resulting in a 404 error from the API.
