Overview

This node operation allows users to add spent time to a specific merge request in a GitLab project via the GitLab API. It is useful for tracking time spent on code reviews or merge request tasks directly within GitLab. For example, a project manager or developer can log hours worked on a merge request to maintain accurate project time tracking.

Use Case Examples

  1. Adding 2 hours of spent time to a merge request with internal ID 15 in project 'my-project'.
  2. Logging time spent on a merge request to update project management records automatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Option to skip authentication for the request.
Authentication Type of authentication used, default is GitLab API key.
baseUrl Base URL of the GitLab instance, default is https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, default is GET but POST is used for this operation.
Path Parameters Parameters for the API path including project ID and merge request internal ID.

Output

JSON

  • time_spent - The amount of time added to the merge request as spent time.
  • merge_request_id - The internal ID of the merge request to which time was added.
  • project_id - The ID of the project containing the merge request.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and merge request IID are correct and exist in the GitLab instance.
  • Verify that the API key has sufficient permissions to add spent time to merge requests.
  • Check the base URL to confirm it points to the correct GitLab instance if using a self-hosted GitLab.
