doctormo / python-gitlab3

In a nutshell... (this is on a virtualbox image so none of the secrets matter)

import gitlab3 as gitlab
token_secret='xmjRs_poU_RdQUGMBeqN'
gitlab_url='http://192.168.10.111'
gitlab_namespace='Mirrors'
gitlab_user='gitmirror'
git=gitlab.GitLab(gitlab_url=gitlab_url,token=token_secret,ssl_verify=True)
#a group was created with an ID of 3 and project that has an ID of 2
git.group(3).transfer_project(2)

From that action I get the following exception stack trace.

FYI the gitmirror user is owner of the group in which I'm attempting to make the transfer.

producion.log from gitlab

The API documentation still appears to be the same.

http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/api/groups.html#transfer-project-to-group

Nevermind. I forgot that the user was required to be an admin user in gitlab. Closing this issue as the GitLab team basically said they won't fix that.

Transferring a project is forbidden with GitLab 7.6.2
