Overview

This node operation retrieves the digest information of a specific Conan package from the GitLab API. It is useful for users who want to programmatically access metadata about a Conan package hosted on GitLab, such as verifying package integrity or managing package versions.

Use Case Examples

  1. A developer wants to verify the digest of a Conan package named 'my-package' version '1.0' under the username 'my-group+my-project' and channel 'stable' to ensure it matches the expected value before deployment.
  2. A CI/CD pipeline fetches the digest of a Conan package to automate package validation steps.

Properties

Output

JSON

  • digest - The digest information of the specified Conan package retrieved from the GitLab API.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API authentication credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the path parameters (package_name, package_version, package_username, package_channel) are correctly provided and match the package details in GitLab.
  • If authentication is enabled, verify that the GitLab API credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the package information.
  • Check the baseUrl to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • Common error messages may include 404 Not Found if the package does not exist or 401 Unauthorized if authentication fails.
