Overview

This node operation performs a POST request to the GitLab API to obtain upload URLs for a specific Conan package version. It is useful for automating package management workflows in GitLab, particularly for Conan package repositories. For example, it can be used to programmatically retrieve URLs needed to upload package files during CI/CD pipelines or package deployment processes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automating Conan package uploads in GitLab CI/CD.
  2. Retrieving upload URLs for a specific Conan package version to integrate with custom deployment scripts.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure all required path parameters (package_name, package_version, package_username, package_channel, conan_package_reference) are correctly provided; missing or incorrect values will cause API errors.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the GitLab API token is invalid or missing; verify credentials are correctly configured.
  • Network or base URL misconfiguration can lead to connection failures; confirm the baseUrl is correct and accessible.
