Hi everyone,
I use CircleCI with a self-managed GitLab instance as a trigger source.
Everything had been working fine until the GitLab personal API key used for the integration expired. After that, CircleCI stopped starting pipelines after merge requests in GitLab.
I generated a new personal API key in GitLab and wanted to update the existing trigger in CircleCI, but it turned out that the trigger was not editable. So I removed the old trigger and tried to create a new one.
Now I get this error:
“GitLab Connection Error
We cannot connect your selected GitLab account. You already have a GitLab account connected to your CircleCI account.”
So at the moment I am stuck in this state:
-
the old trigger is deleted
-
I cannot create a new trigger because CircleCI says the GitLab account is already connected
Has anyone faced this before?
What is the correct way to fully reset or reconnect a self-managed GitLab account in CircleCI after the personal API key expires?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
