GitLab Issues

Before you start

You need a GitLab.com account that is a member of the project where issues should be created (Reporter or higher). Self-managed GitLab instances are not supported here.

Get a token from GitLab

1. GitLab → your avatar → Edit profile → Access tokens (or Preferences → Access tokens).
2. Add new token, name it TestKase, set an expiry, tick the api scope, create it, and copy it (glpat-…).

Connect it in TestKase

1. Open Organization → Integrations → Defects and click Connect on the GitLab Issues card.
2. Paste the token and click Connect.
3. Choose the project (group/project). Archived projects aren't listed. Click Save.

What gets created

An issue in that project with the report title and the pre-filled details, created by the token's owner. The screenshot is uploaded to the project and referenced from a note on the issue — that's how GitLab attaches files.

Troubleshooting

▶Project list is empty

The token's user isn't a member of any unarchived project.

Fix: Check membership; the token can only see what its owner can.

▶"Your defect tracker rejected the credentials"

Token expired (GitLab tokens always have an expiry) or revoked.

Fix: Create a new token, ⋮ → Reset, reconnect.
