Overview

This node operation deletes a specific Conan package from the GitLab package registry using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing and cleaning up package versions in a CI/CD pipeline or package management workflow. For example, it can be used to remove outdated or deprecated Conan packages from a project repository.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a specific version of a Conan package from GitLab to free up storage and maintain package hygiene.
  2. Automating package cleanup in a DevOps pipeline by removing packages that are no longer needed or have been superseded.

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates whether the package deletion was successful.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided package name, version, username, and channel are correct and exist in the GitLab package registry.
  • Verify that the API key used has sufficient permissions to delete packages in the target GitLab project or group.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • Common error messages include 404 Not Found if the package does not exist, and 403 Forbidden if the API key lacks delete permissions.
