Just try to debug your settings.json file with a JSON parser. Best guess it is an invisible char (or LRCF issue)

Have you found the Problem. Sorry I somehow missed the notification. uups.

[chraibi]

some news here?

[MJochim]

I encountered the same error when trying to run the software without a Gitlab token (I tried that out of curiosity). After creating a gitlab access token and putting it in settings.json, everything worked fine. Thanks for your software :-)

[spruce]

@MJochim you also got the error with the same error message? Than I would check that inside the application. @chraibi Have you set a token?

[MJochim]

Yep, same message, same stack trace.

Steps to reproduce

1. git clone, npm i, cp sample_settings.json settings.json
2. Replace the value of gitlab.url in settings.json (use e.g. https://gitlab.lrz.de/ or http://www.google.de/)
3. node index.js

Result

If you use an actual gitlab instance in step 2, you get the message described in this issue.
If you use some other URL (e.g. Google), you get a different message.

Comment

This needs fixing in the gitlab package and has actually been documented at jdalrymple/gitbeaker#149.

However some changes in this codebase might also be in order. Try making the change I suggested upstream, repeat the steps to reproduce and you will end up with another error:

TypeError: projects.sort is not a function

Something like Array.isArray(projects) inside the callback function on line 16 might do the trick.

Can you open a new issue with that text? So I can better track it and we don't get on the nerves of the others. Thanks for the repro that helps a lot
