How to run a jbang script from a private gitlab repository

[basti128]

I’m in a bit of a predicament. I got some code that can be run via jbang in a private gitlab repository. Is there a possibility to run that without cloning it by hand with something like : jbang -token = xxx https://gitlab.com/basti128/test/-/blob/main/src/main/java/ex/example/Test.java so basically is it possible to transmit some kind of authentication so that jbang is able to access that repository. The reason would be to allow a third party to run some code, but only if they are authorized. If that's possible (Something like that got mentioned in release 0.99: JBang now fully support proxies and credentials to use with private/internal repositories) can you please provide an example on the needed setup/conditions.

I know we have support for GITHUB_TOKEN as an environment variable, but there's not (yet) anything like that for GitLab or BitBucket.

There's also support for JBANG_AUTH_BASIC_USERNAME and JBANG_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD (although I guess https://USER:[email protected]/etc/etc/etc would work as well).

Other authentication mechanisms are not implemented (yet).

Adding support for GItLab/BitBucket tokens would probably not be too hard (assuming they have something similar to what GitHub does), so contributions are welcome :-)

Thx for your suggestions. But unfortunately none of them work, also tried using an access token with JBANG_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD, but haven't had any luck there either 😬

No, that'll only work for basic authentication, you can't use it for tokens. But the basic authentication should definitely work, if GitLab supports that of course.
