Enhancement - make projects endpoints configurable

[kolluria]

We have GitLab deployed on prem and the URLs are slightly different from what is mentioned in the API specification. For instance, to get a list of projects the user contributed to, instead of invoking https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/users/5/contributed_projects we have to invoke https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/users/5/contributed.

This change accommodates these discrepancies by exporting the endpoints so that users can configure then if they so need it.

Hmm... Interesting. Are there any docs that explain why these differences exist and/or describe what differences exist for which endpoints? I.e. are these the only two endpoints that are different?

[kolluria]

@svanharmelen I might have spoken too soon. I investigated further and turns out some specific endpoints are not working on our on prem deployment like /api/v4/users/5/contributed_projects. Let me probe further and see if this change even makes sense.

Thanks.

@svanharmelen we might be running an older version of GitLab. This is the output of the version endpoint -

gitlab.Version{Version:"15.11.13-ee", Revision:"c2a3ebb864f"}

Does any of the releases of this project support this version?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Searching through the project I see this was added about a year ago and has always used these paths: #1792 So if version 15.11 is older then a year, I guess not.

Yeah, 15.11 would have been about 1.5 years ago. The contributed_projects API was introduced in 16.2 (here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/124579), so I think you just need to update your gitlab version to take advantage of it via go-gitlab :)

Unfortunately I don't know if that's gonna happen any time soon :(
