It is not removed artifacts from the 1st page of my pipelines list for some reason. It also missed .status attribute in console log. The rest is as advertised, thanks!

@Atarity Check the source code and you will find the hint #starting with page 2 skipping most recent 100 Jobs thus it is intended that the first page of artifacts are not removed.

voiski · 2020-09-23T19:00:44Z

The response can have a json with breaking lines \n. Consider removing it like ${response//\\n/}

response=${response//\\n/}
length=$(echo $response | jq '. | length')

Also, you can easy simulate next page checking [ $length -ne 0 ] and having the page loop to 1000 or more.

I made the following Python script, which works for over 10k jobs, too:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import time

import requests

project_id = '...'
token = '...'
server = 'gitlab.com'

print("Creating list of all jobs that currently have artifacts...")
# We skip the first page.
url = f"https://{server}/api/v4/projects/{project_id}/jobs?per_page=100&page=2"
while url:
    print(f"Processing page: {url}")
    response = requests.get(
        url,
        headers={
            'private-token': token,
        },
    )

    if response.status_code in [500, 429]:
        print(f"Status {response.status_code}, retrying.")
        time.sleep(10)
        continue

    response.raise_for_status()
    response_json = response.json()
    for job in response_json:
        if job.get('artifacts_file', None):
            job_id = job['id']
            delete_response = requests.delete(
                f"https://{server}/api/v4/projects/{project_id}/jobs/{job_id}/artifacts",
                headers={
                    'private-token': token,
                },
            )
            print(f"Processing job ID: {job_id} - status: {delete_response.status_code}")

    url = response.links.get('next', {}).get('url', None)

tamasgal · 2021-11-05T21:38:55Z

The if job.get('artifacts_file', None): needs to be changed to if job.get('artifacts', None): in the current version of the API, at least I don't see artifacts_file in any of the JSON responses.

mitar · 2021-11-07T17:35:28Z

I see it here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/jobs.html

tamasgal · 2021-11-07T18:15:01Z

I don't know why but none of the jobs on our server had artifacts_file but artifacts instead where they were listed including their sizes etc.

willstott101 · 2021-12-09T10:06:49Z

"artifacts_file" worked for me, but it's trivial to support both, I also tweaked the output so you can see what job failed if any, and made it start at the first page:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import time

import requests

project_id = '...'
token = '...'
server = 'gitlab.com'
start_page = 1

print("Creating list of all jobs that currently have artifacts...")
# We skip the first page.
url = f"https://{server}/api/v4/projects/{project_id}/jobs?per_page=100&page={start_page}"
while url:
    print(f"Processing page: {url}")
    response = requests.get(
        url,
        headers={
            'private-token': token,
        },
    )

    if response.status_code in [500, 429]:
        print(f"Status {response.status_code}, retrying.")
        time.sleep(10)
        continue

    response.raise_for_status()
    response_json = response.json()
    for job in response_json:
        if job.get('artifacts_file', None) or job.get('artifacts', None):
            job_id = job['id']
            print(f"Processing job ID: {job_id}", end="")
            delete_response = requests.delete(
                f"https://{server}/api/v4/projects/{project_id}/jobs/{job_id}/artifacts",
                headers={
                    'private-token': token,
                },
            )
            print(f" - status: {delete_response.status_code}")

    url = response.links.get('next', {}).get('url', None)

kbaran1998 · 2022-04-19T11:46:29Z

While the script deletes jobs' artifacts, you can also delete project's artifacts by adding this code:

url = f"https://{server}/api/v4/projects/{project_id}/artifacts"
delete_response = requests.delete(
    url,
    headers={
        'private-token': token,
    }
)
print(f" - status: {delete_response.status_code}")

Muffinman · 2023-06-01T11:48:34Z

This does not work if you're project has more than 10000 jobs, due to the removal of X-Total-Pages header from the Gitlab API responses.

cmuller · 2023-07-07T09:45:50Z

Yes, I just found out that the X-Total-Pages header is now missing for performance reasons. Fortunately when a page number is too high, an empty json list ([]) is returned so it is quite easy to use a loop such as (here in bash):

PER_PAGE=100
PAGE=1
while JOBS=$(curl -s --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOKEN" "$GITLAB_INSTANCE/$PROJECT_ID/jobs?per_page=$PER_PAGE&page=$PAGE&sort=asc") && [ "$JOBS" != "[]" ]
do
   for JOB in $(echo $JOBS | jq .[].id)
   do
      [...]
   done
   PAGE=$((PAGE+1))
done

Here's my slightly improved version for the 'do it in python' section (ignores job.log files which seem to be non-deletable, uses command line arguments to load the settings):

while url:
    print(f"Processing page: {url}")
    response = requests.get(
        url,
        headers={
            'private-token': token,
        },
    )

    if response.status_code in [500, 429]:
        print(f"Status {response.status_code}, retrying.")
        time.sleep(10)
        continue

    response.raise_for_status()
    response_json = response.json()
    for job in response_json:
        artifacts = job.get('artifacts_file', None)
        if not artifacts:
            artifacts = job.get('artifacts', None)

mikeller · 2023-12-13T20:33:41Z

@Tim-Schwalbe: Apologies, yes, I overlooked this case. I have amended the script to ignore artifacts_file, as this file seems to be contained in artifacts anyway.

I have improved my version a bit, it now automatically selects expired artifacts for deletion that (in my opinion) should be deleted in the first place, because they belong to jobs that were run on:

merge requests that have been merged or closed;
branches that have been merged.

It will also take a list of project ids as the last argument, making it easy to use in a cron job: Usage: {sys.argv[0]} <server> <token> <project id>...

@mikeller I suggest you write your script code in a gist, or even fork this one here and replace it with you python code =)

Each gist indicates which forks have activity, making it easy to find interesting changes from others.
