Overview

This node operation retrieves NuGet symbol files from a specific group in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for developers or CI/CD pipelines that need to access symbol files for debugging or symbolication purposes. For example, it can be used to fetch symbol files by specifying the group ID, file name, signature, and a parameter indicating if the file name is the same.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching a NuGet symbol file for a group to debug a .NET application.
  2. Automating retrieval of symbol files in a CI/CD pipeline for error reporting.
