Overview

This node operation allows users to post evidence for a specific release associated with a Git tag in a GitLab project. It is useful for adding proof or documentation related to a release, such as build artifacts or verification data, directly to the release entry in GitLab. Practical applications include automating release management workflows, ensuring release traceability, and integrating CI/CD pipelines with GitLab releases.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically attach build evidence to a release after a successful CI pipeline run.
  2. Add security scan results as evidence to a release for compliance tracking.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and tag name are correct and exist in the GitLab instance to avoid 404 errors.
  • Verify that the authentication credentials have sufficient permissions to post release evidence.
  • Check the baseUrl if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure the API endpoint is reachable.
