Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to add asset links to a specific release in a project. It is useful for automating the management of release assets, such as adding downloadable links or references to release notes. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines to programmatically update release information after deployment.

Use Case Examples

  1. Adding a new asset link to a release after a successful build.
  2. Automating release management by updating release assets based on project changes.

Properties

Name Meaning

Output

JSON

  • id - ID of the created asset link
  • name - Name of the asset link
  • url - URL of the asset link
  • link_type - Type of the link (e.g., other, runbook, image)
  • created_at - Timestamp when the asset link was created
  • updated_at - Timestamp when the asset link was last updated

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and tag name are correct and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Verify that the API key has sufficient permissions to modify releases.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance.
  • Common error messages include authentication failures, invalid project or tag identifiers, and permission denied errors. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, parameters, and access rights.
