Response code 409 (Conflict)

Using GitLab 14, on Semantic-Release 17.4.4. I’m still getting this Error 409. It would be great if nothing else to have more information than --debug provides,

Raw log (with context)

The bottom reads,

[4:36:12 PM] [semantic-release] [@semantic-release/gitlab] › ✖  An error occurred while making a request to the GitLab release API:

}

This works locally when I run,

CI=1 GITLAB_TOKEN=token npx semantic-release --publish --ci

So I’m at a loss for why it wouldn’t work on the smoker.

I’ve uploaded more of the log for context.

@ericschmar I believe what @kphunter is saying is he had to use the GitLab Releases API to delete the corresponding releases. But tagging him will help get an answer to that. 😉

That’s correct - either remove the GitLab Release via the API or manually through the UI to get rid of the reference that is causing the conflict.
