share your wildcard search

[tjommie]

I'm stumped with wildcard search from: https://github.com/mvisonneau/gitlab-ci-pipelines-exporter/blob/main/docs/configuration_syntax.md
See "Dynamically fetch projects to monitor using a wildcard" section.

Is this a regex? is there some special syntax?

Please share if you have a working version.

Currently my use-case is: I want to find all projects accessible to the group, but I want to either exclude one of more projects, or set a regex to match certain strings in the project name.

Could the gitlab token need to have some special scope or role for the wildcard and/or search to work?

Hello,

I'm not able to use search from wildcard also.
Istead, I put all my projects on project:

projects:
#- # Name of the project (actually path with namespace) to fetch
# (required)

• name: owner/project1
• name: owner/project2
• name: owner/project3
• name: owner/project4
• name: owner/project5

Hello, I was confused too, I tried a lot of variants of wildcard values, but got nothing
After investigating this issue I found, that the library which used by this exporter using api method
https://github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab/blob/68add0327e425160bc0933fb3fae4cdfaec950d5/projects.go#L390

which returns only personal projects according to docs of gitlab api
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#list-a-users-projects

Only the projects in the user’s (specified in user_id) namespace are returned. Projects owned by the user in any group or subgroups are not returned.

So if you created personal project for user - you will get a result for wildcard
