GitLab is included in Archal’s environment catalog. Use it in a sandbox for projects, branches, commits, issues, merge requests, pipelines, labels, milestones, releases, and webhooks. Preview means the environment is included for testing, but its upstream coverage is incomplete. Verify the operations your test depends on.

​
Compatibility boundary

Local catalog validation: All five published samples passed. Checks cover the state contract, relationships, artifact hash, secret scan, and size limit.
Local catalog validation is not hosted proof. Archal checks current certification, reset, and isolation evidence before admitting new sandboxes. Use the authenticated environment catalog for live availability.
  • Historical demo fixture contains a duplicate branch id; public derivatives remove only later duplicates.

Curated starting states

List the five samples with archal sample list gitlab. Each sample is a versioned starting state with a representative read, mutation, expected diff, reset expectation, and verified artifact hash.
List one private project and update its description in the smallest corrected state.Sample ID: gitlab.project-baseline.v1Category: minimalStarting state: 2 records across branches: 1, projects: 1Supported surface: Stateful projects, issues, merge requests, notes, labels, branches, and pipelines.Required capabilities: state.read, state.load, state.reset, rest.projectsFirst read: GET /api/v4/projects. Expected result: HTTP 200.Representative mutation: PUT /api/v4/projects/82857419. Expected result: HTTP 200.Mutation input
Expected diff: changes include projects. Exact match required: no. Hosted promotion must observe every listed path after the provider-native mutation; dynamic provider ids and timestamps are excluded from exact matching.Expected reset: restores loaded sample.Known limits
  • Historical demo fixture contains a duplicate branch id; public derivatives remove only later duplicates.

Use custom state

Start from a sample when possible. For custom state, inspect the contract with archal environment describe gitlab, then validate the file before creating a sandbox:
Loading state replaces the current collections and establishes a new reset baseline. See Starting state before replacing state in an existing sandbox.
