Overview

This node operation retrieves the digest information of a specific Conan package from the GitLab API. It is useful for users who need to access detailed metadata about a Conan package stored in a GitLab repository, such as package versioning and integrity verification. For example, developers managing C++ package dependencies can use this node to verify package digests before deployment or integration.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the digest of a Conan package named 'my-package' version '1.0' under the user 'my-group+my-project' and channel 'stable' to verify package integrity.
  2. Use the node to automate fetching package digests for continuous integration pipelines that depend on Conan packages hosted on GitLab.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure all required path parameters (package_name, package_version, package_username, package_channel, conan_package_reference) are provided and correctly formatted.
  • If authentication is enabled, verify that the GitLab API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the package data.
  • Check the baseUrl if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure the API endpoint is reachable.
  • Common error messages include 401 Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key), 404 Not Found (package or reference does not exist), and 400 Bad Request (incorrect path parameters).
