Overview

This node operation deletes a specific feature in GitLab by its name using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the removal of feature flags or toggles in GitLab projects, which can help manage feature lifecycle and deployment processes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a feature flag named 'new-ui' from a GitLab project to disable it.
  2. Automating cleanup of deprecated features in a CI/CD pipeline.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'name' path parameter is correctly set to the feature name intended for deletion.
  • Verify that the API authentication credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to delete features.
