Could not add a repo based on gitlab, error 410 when linking a new account

[Garry]

hi, I am adding a repo based on gitlab via the admin dashboard. An error 410 occurred when linking a new account, anyone can help on this? I am using reviewboard  2.5.17.

BTW, I noticed that 

"Unlike most types of source code management systems, Git has a very limited remote protocol, which isn’t capable of some of the requests Review Board and other similar tools require. Because of this, if Review Board does not have local file-based access to your main Git repository, you will need to set up a wrapping service, such as GitWeb or cgit. This is covered in more detail later in this guide."

Does the reviewboard also need local file-based access for  gitlab based repo ？

Hi Garry,

GitLab had made changes to their API since Review Board 2.5, and 2.5 is no longer maintained. You'll need to upgrade to a modern release.

The latest 3.0.x will work fine. We're putting out 4.0.2 shortly with some GitLab fixes that might be relevant to you, depending on setup.

I upgraded reviewboard to version 4.0.x, then try to link a repository based on gitlab, no luck.

errors are as below:

You'll want 4.0.2 to bypass this crash. This was a 4.0/4.0.1 bug.

A couple questions:

1) Does your GitLab use a self-signed certificate?

2) Would you be willing to share the URL with me? It might tell me something.

1). It's signed by a certificate authority (CA), not self-signed certificate.

2). The gitlab is hosted in my intranet, you may not able to access it.

I tried  Review Board Cloud Hosting, Review Board Installer, Docker Container and VM (bitnami.com) to install the latest version 4.0.2. but this installer has a defect that I cannot get to the admin dashboard to do configuration.

I would like to know whether this installer is maintained by our team, and do we have a plan to fix this?

[Christian Hammond]

That’s a third-party installer. We have no control over it. What’s it doing when you access the admin dashboard?

The URL would just be to help me generate some tests you could run internally.
