Group-level variables API returns 404

    • Closed Issue created by Adam Mulvany @amulvany

    Summary

    groups/:id/variables returns a 404. This should return the variables as described here.

    Steps to reproduce

    In my local installation:

    curl -k --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: XXXXXXXXXXXX" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/:id/variables

    The token being used has all privileges and assigned to the owner of the group (root/administrator).

    What is the current bug behavior?

    API returns a 404

    What is the expected correct behavior?

    Should return a map of key/value pairs.

    Relevant logs and/or screenshots

    From the rails console of my local environment one can confirm that the group exists and has variables assigned:

    When using the API the groups endpoint works correctly but variables throws a 404:

    $ curl -k --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: XXXXXXXXXXXX" https://gitlab-ee-latest/api/v4/groups/6/
{"id":6,"name":"test-group","path":"test-group","description":"","visibility":"private","ldap_cn":null,"ldap_access":null,"lfs_enabled":true,"avatar_url":null,"web_url":"https://gitlab-ee-latest/groups/test-group","request_access_enabled":false,"full_name":"test-group","full_path":"test-group","parent_id":null,"projects":[],"shared_projects":[],"shared_runners_minutes_limit":null}

$ curl -k --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: XXXXXXXXXXXXX" https://gitlab-ee-latest/api/v4/groups/6/variables
{"error":"404 Not Found"}
