Issue

  • We were unable to fetch Gitlab projects using the access token that was provided.

​
Resolution

There’s a few possible reasons for this:
  1. The token does not have the read_api scope OR the token is expired
    • In either case, since Gitlab doesn’t allow you to view the details of a token after creation, we will have to recreate the token
    • Head over to your Glean admin account and navigate to https://app.glean.com/admin/setup/apps
    • Find your Gitlab datasource and got its setup page
    • Follow the instructions to create a new personal access token and save it
      • Make sure to include the read_api scope on the token as this is the scope that allows us to list projects using the personal access token
  2. If the above doesn’t work, it’s possible our crawler has networking issues in reaching your Gitlab instance. Please reach out to us at https://support.glean.com to resolve this.
