Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific RubyGem package file from a GitLab project using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for automating the download or inspection of RubyGem packages stored within GitLab projects, especially in CI/CD pipelines or package management workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Download a RubyGem package file from a GitLab project by specifying the project ID and the package file name.
  2. Automate the retrieval of RubyGem package files for auditing or deployment purposes.

Output

JSON

  • data - The retrieved RubyGem package file data or metadata from the GitLab API response.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and file name are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Verify that the API authentication token has sufficient permissions to access the project and its packages.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance instead of gitlab.com.
  • Common errors include 404 Not Found if the project or file does not exist, and 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
