groups.search('group') method is documented but it is not present

[aruiz]

when I try to use the documented groups.search() method I get this error:

prj = self.gl.groups.search(grp)[0].projects.search(repo)[0]
AttributeError: 'GroupProjectManager' object has no attribute 'search'

The error is not related to the Group manager, but to the GroupProject manager.

There should be a search method on this object anyway, so this is still a bug.

Note: this change will probably not give you the result you expect, because the search method doesn't consider the previous search result (group_id), i.e using self.gl.projects.search(repo)[0] will give the same (and probably unwanted) result.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23185 is probably what's needed here.

Using API v4:
self.group=self.gitlabApi.groups.search(self.project.name)[0]
=>
AttributeError, 'GroupManager' object has no attribute 'search'

How do I get a group by name ?

*v3 group visibility does not work

You can do a search with gl.groups.list(search='group-name'). But that is not documented. I found it in another comment.
