Question - Create new project (within a "Group") using New-GitLabProject

[NealWalters]

1. Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above

How do you specify a "group", is it the -Path or -Namespace or something else?
The GitLab visual interface seems to have an entity known as "groups".
When using the online interface, you create projects under groups.

2. Describe Your Environment

Operating System and PowerShell version:
Win 2012/R2
Powershell
Major Minor Build Revision
5 1 14409 1005

3. Expected Behavior

Run some command to create a project in a group

4.Current Behavior

Test 1
$projName = "MyCompany.MyNewProjectName"
$groupName = "ExistingGroupName"
New-GitLabProject -name $projName -path $groupName

Results
WARNING: All tokens will be sent over HTTP. Recommendation: Use HTTPS.
New-GitLabProject : Cannot bind parameter because parameter 'name' is specified more than once. To provide multiple values to parameters that can accept
multiple values, use the array syntax. For example, "-parameter value1,value2,value3".

5. Possible Solution

Update doc to link the concept of a group to whatever you call it in the API, assuming it does existin the API.

6. Context

See number 1 above

After finding the GroupID, I have tried the following:

$searchGroup = "MyGroupName"
$group = Get-GitLabGroup -Search $searchGroup 
if ($group -eq $null) 
   {
      Write-Host "Group $searchGroup not found" 
   }
else 
   {
      Get-GitLabProject -GroupId $group.id 
      $newProjectname = 'NealTestScriptAddedProject'
      New-GitlabProject -Name $newProjectname  -Namespace "$searchGroup / $newProjectname" -public 
   }

I was guessing one of two things:

1. That the current group would be used when you add a new project
2. The group name is part of the namespace. When I listed my existing projects in the group that were created using the GitLab website, I saw the following name/value pair:

name_with_namespace : MyGroupName / MyProjectName

Ok, got it! Read this: https://forum.gitlab.com/t/create-a-new-project-in-a-group-using-api/1552/5

Changed one line above:

New-GitlabProject -Name $newProjectname -Namespace "$searchGroup" -public

The namespace is apparently just the group name when adding an item,

I also ran "get-gitlabnamespace" to see the namespaces.
Then I realized that when I retrieved the project that "name with namespace" is not the namespace, but the group name and the namespace.

Next question - how do I set the value of the Wiki for the project? Is it a file that can be uploaded? Or there an API to set it?

I don’t have anything around a wiki in the pipeline. You can treat the wiki as a git repository so you should be able to push changes via git.

Close the issue when you’ve seen the reply!
