Gitlab presentation task #95
Conversation
- creates issues in a private test repository of gitlab.lrz.de - file upload, issue creation, and issue modification work as with Redmine - modified create_anchor() to work with Gitlab - added new dependency for python-gitlab
use image_link as dict-key for the ![]() string

In Gitlab, we can only upload new files... As far as I can see, the API does not allow to update an existing file. I have tried to do this with the "update project files" functionality described here, but this only works for actual repository files, i.e., you have to specify a branch/commit etc.

This might become an issue, as it could fill the project space with quite many images. Without having looked into the API in detail, is there call to delete files? So we can mimic an update by delete+upload?

update and delete only work for project files, so files actually lying in the repository. Actually, it's the same on Gitlab in the browser: It is not possible to manually delete an uploaded attachment to an issue/issue comment, either. I wonder if Gitlab does some cleanup automatically if an uploaded issue attachment is not referenced anywhere?

Found this but it doesn't help much. Searching the Gitlab Project REST API I didn't find anything to delete uploaded files. So it may not be a limitation just of python-gitlab.

Great, thanks a lot for getting practical! Looking forward to test and discuss! |
- similar to Redmine, had to adapt some function calls/Mock objects. - fix: A connection error actually throws request.exceptions.ConnectionError, not a gitlab.GitlabConnectionError!
will resolve #89 eventually.
