Overview

This node operation deletes a specific package protection rule from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing project package protection rules by removing outdated or unnecessary rules. For example, a user can automate the cleanup of package protection rules in their CI/CD pipeline or project management workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a package protection rule by specifying the project ID and the package protection rule ID to maintain project security policies.
  2. Automating the removal of package protection rules when a project is archived or no longer requires certain package restrictions.

Output

JSON

  • statusCode - HTTP status code of the delete operation response.
  • responseBody - Response body from the API after attempting to delete the package protection rule.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and package protection rule ID are correct and exist in the GitLab instance.
  • Verify that the API key has sufficient permissions to delete package protection rules in the project.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure it is correct.
  • Common error messages include 404 Not Found if the project or rule ID does not exist, and 403 Forbidden if the API key lacks permissions.
