Using private repository on self Hosted gitlab instance

Hi,

I’m currently migrating my process from gitlink because now I need to use portable PDB.

So I have my own gitlab instance and all of my repos need authorization for reading it.

In my csproj in tried to add:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.SourceLink.GitLab" Version="1.0.0-beta-63102-01" PrivateAssets="All" />
<SourceLinkGitLabHosts Include="gitlab.my-domain.com" />

But there is a way to pass a gitlab read access token ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

I recently had the a similar usecase with a C+±Project. I’m currently migrating from subversion to GitLab and I want to Debug Dumps from an execution if they crash in the field. Getting the correct pdb-files is done manually, this can be done with a symbol-server later. Never the less, if I’m debugging an exception, I want to have the correct source file from GitLab.

I Used the CMake scripts to generate a source-link.json file. I Simply rewrote the url to point to the /raw/ URL of Gitlab.

Everything works so far, except the authentification. Sourcelink would allways download the login-page as my final .cpp file. My solution so far is, to generate an session cookie for Gitlab in Visual Studio 2019. This can be done by logging in to gitlab via the internal web browser: View -> Other Windows -> Web browser.

This is maybe not the perfect solution, but in my usecase, it’s still simpler than implementing some reverse proxy via localhost or anything desribed above. And, if Visual studio implements the missing feature, the “old” releases will still work, but without the manual login.

A Final small remark. If the credentials where wrong it is possible that the wrong file is cached, therefore check the C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Local\SourceServer for wrong files.
