Example for "get repository file"

[Herrner]

Can you provide an example of what a working config for "get repository file" would be? The "Full path to file" and "name of branch, tag or commit" are giving me a hard time - I haven't got anything but 404s out of it so far. To get to the README.rst in the root folder of the master branch of any given repository, what would msg.payload.file_path and msg.payload.ref be?

This plugin depends on the node "gitlab", which does not support v4 api. It has also been moved to another project like 3 years ago. I'm trying to fix it.

edit: seemingly it does support v4, but not the version used.

Ok, found a fix:

• replace the plugin with https://github.com/FVLArchive/node-red-contrib-gitlab
  • remove the current one
  • run npm install FVLArchive/node-red-contrib-gitlab in node_modules
  • change the url from XXX/api/v4 to XXX, else you'll get a 404
• put in the below data, but replace the gitlab-config with your own or edit this one.

As a bonus, the one made by FVLArchive is much cleaner code.
