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 automating the process of adding evidence to releases, which can help in release management and documentation within GitLab projects. For example, a user can automate attaching release notes or other relevant evidence to a release identified by a tag name and project ID.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate adding release evidence after a deployment pipeline completes.
  2. Attach documentation or release notes to a specific release in a GitLab project.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Option to skip authentication for the request.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, default is GET but can be POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, or PATCH.

Output

JSON

  • statusCode - HTTP status code of the response.
  • body - Response body containing the result of posting release evidence.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication token or credentials

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and tag name are correct and exist in the GitLab project.
  • Verify that the authentication token has sufficient permissions to post release evidence.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure it is correct.
  • Common errors include 404 Not Found if the project or tag does not exist, and 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
