FAQ
###
I cannot edit the merge request / issue I've just retrieved
It is likely that you used a ``MergeRequest``, ``GroupMergeRequest``,
``Issue`` or ``GroupIssue`` object. These objects cannot be edited. But you
can create a new ``ProjectMergeRequest`` or ``ProjectIssue`` object to
apply changes. For example::
issue = gl.issues.list()[0]
project = gl.projects.get(issue.project_id, lazy=True)
editable_issue = project.issues.get(issue.iid, lazy=True)
# you can now edit the object
See the :ref:`merge requests example <merge_requests_examples>` and the
:ref:`issues examples <issues_examples>`.
.. _attribute_error_list:
I get an ``AttributeError`` when accessing attributes of an object retrieved via a ``list()`` call.
Fetching a list of objects, doesn’t always include all attributes in the
objects. To retrieve an object with all attributes use a ``get()`` call.
Example with projects::
for projects in gl.projects.list():
# Retrieve project object with all attributes
project = gl.projects.get(project.id)
How can I clone the repository of a project?
python-gitlab doesn't provide an API to clone a project. You have to use a
git library or call the ``git`` command.
The git URI is exposed in the ``ssh_url_to_repo`` attribute of ``Project``
objects.
Example::
import subprocess
project = gl.projects.create(data) # or gl.projects.get(project_id)
print(project.attributes) # displays all the attributes
git_url = project.ssh_url_to_repo
subprocess.call(['git', 'clone', git_url])
I get an ``AttributeError`` when accessing attributes after ``save()`` or ``refresh()``.
You are most likely trying to access an attribute that was not returned
by the server on the second request. Please look at the documentation in
:ref:`object_attributes` to see how to avoid this.
