Fixes #11412 (triaged as a bug).

Summary

Images and videos uploaded to a private GitLab project's merge request show as "Image unavailable" / "Video unavailable" in the pull request view, in descriptions and comments alike. GitLab writes uploads as project-relative links (/uploads/<secret>/<name>), which the clients treated as local paths. Even made absolute, a private project serves them only to a signed-in request. Without a session GitLab redirects to /users/sign_in.

Built on two extension points already on main: the forge-owned media route from #23994, and the per-URL resolution GitCafe attachments got in #31741. Server route, contracts and asset signing stay as they are:

text
1GitLab definition (shared)
2 isRepositoryRelativePath(path) # new optional hook: /uploads/<secret>/ is project-relative
3 mediaUrl(url) # claims /<project>/uploads/<secret>/<file>, immutable
4client-runtime resolveChangeRequestMediaUrl # already used by web and mobile for images and links
5 /uploads/… on GitLab → <project URL>/uploads/…, other root-relative paths → origin (unchanged)
6GitLab driver fetchMedia
7 GitLabCredentials.get(upload host) # token glab stores for that host only
8 GET /api/v4/projects/:id/uploads/:secret/:file (GitLab 17.4+, Guest access)
9 API refuses, or gitlab.com without a login → the upload URL itself (public projects)
10 any other host without a login → never fetched
  • Links are resolved while rendering, never in the stored text. Ticking a checkbox or editing the description writes GitLab's own relative links back unchanged, and code blocks stay as written because only parsed image, link and reference nodes are touched.
  • The token comes from glab config get token --host <upload host>. Ambient GITLAB_TOKEN-style variables are ignored because the host comes from text someone wrote into the merge request. OAuth logins are refreshed before use, and a 401 drops the cached token.
  • The server fetches only from a host glab is signed in to, or gitlab.com, because the URL comes from text anyone can write. T3 lists GitLab merge requests through glab, so every host whose merge requests are open has a login.
  • Redirects are followed by hand so the token reaches only the upload's origin, not the object storage a redirect hands off to.
  • GraphQL does not help here: GitLab's GraphQL API does not return file contents, so the REST upload route is the only API path to the bytes.
  • Web now resolves root-relative link nodes too, not only images and reference definitions, so a non-media upload ([log.txt](/uploads/…)) links to GitLab. Mobile resolves tapped links the same way.
  • Not covered: GitLab installs under a relative URL root (https://host/gitlab/...), and uploads written as raw HTML <img src="/uploads/…">.

Desktop uses the web renderer. This replaces #18793, which was closed for missing triage before #11412 was triaged.

Evidence

Private, self-hosted GitLab 19.4 merge request with an uploaded PNG, a six-second MP4 and a task list item, in T3's Browser panel (web client), signed in with glab:

Before (main)After: imageAfter: video and checkbox
Uploads show as unavailableImage rendersVideo plays, checkbox ticked
  • Both uploads load from signed asset URLs. The image decodes at 180×180 and the video reports a 6 s duration at 640 px wide.
  • Ticking the checkbox in T3 saved - [x] to GitLab, and the description read back through glab mr view still has both /uploads/… links relative.
  • The upload API with the stored token returned 200 for the image and 206 for a video range request. Without a token it returned 404.
  • saibotma reproduced the bug on gitlab.com and confirmed that glab api projects/<id>/uploads/<secret>/<file> returns the file there. TonybynMp4 and afrojun confirmed earlier revisions of this PR on their own instances.

To reproduce without shared credentials: create a private project on gitlab.com, open a merge request with a pasted image, sign in with glab auth login, and open the merge request in T3 Code.

Focused tests: URL parsing and the immutable media URL, resolution against the project for GitLab and against the origin for GitCafe, glab credential lookup (stored token only, OAuth refresh, invalidation), and the fetch (API URL and bearer token, token kept off a storage redirect, unauthenticated fallback on gitlab.com and after a 401, no request to a host without a login).

Merge Danger

Door: two-way. No stored data or contract change. Reverting drops GitLab's mediaUrl, fetchMedia and isRepositoryRelativePath and restores the old rendering.

Blast Radius: GitLab merge request bodies and comments, plus root-relative links in any forge's bodies, which now open on the forge. An absolute upload link in a public GitLab project, which the browser used to load directly, now goes through the server as well.

Leaving this as is on purpose. Four spaces of indentation is also how a paragraph or image continues inside a nested list item, and telling the two apart needs list tracking that a line pass does not have. Skipping indented lines would stop uploads in nested list items from loading. Rewriting a link inside an indented code block only makes the shown URL absolute, and it still points at the same file. Fenced blocks and inline code, the common forms, stay as written.

Walkthrough

This change adds GitLab upload URL parsing and relative-link resolution, host-specific credential lookup, and authenticated media fetching. Web and mobile pull-request Markdown apply the available link resolver before rendering.

Changes: GitLab upload media

Layer / File(s)Summary
Upload URL and link resolution
packages/source-control-core/src/shared/definition.ts, packages/source-control-gitlab/src/shared/definition.ts, packages/source-control-gitlab/src/shared/gitLabMedia.ts, packages/source-control-gitlab/src/shared/gitLabMedia.test.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/pullRequestMarkdown.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/pullRequestMarkdown.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/*, apps/mobile/src/features/pull-requests/PullRequestMarkdown.tsx
The source-control definition adds a relative-link resolver. GitLab helpers parse upload URLs, construct API and media URLs, sanitize filenames, and rewrite relative links in Markdown. The client runtime provides a resolver for supported providers. Web and mobile Markdown components apply the resolver before splitting text into segments.
GitLab credential lookup
packages/source-control-gitlab/src/server/GitLabCredentials.ts, packages/source-control-gitlab/src/server/GitLabCredentials.test.ts
The credentials service reads and refreshes host-specific tokens, caches results, and supports invalidation. Tests cover host normalization, token lookup, OAuth refresh, caching, and invalidation.
Authenticated media fetching and server wiring

The media fetcher uses credentials for GitLab upload requests, limits authorization to matching origins, handles redirects, and retries without authorization when needed. The driver wires the fetcher and credentials service. The documentation states the GitLab version requirement.

Explanation

Issue #11412 requires private GitLab merge-request images to display and videos to play and seek. The changes resolve project-relative /uploads/... links outside code, support numeric project IDs and project paths, and create gitlab-media resources. The server uses the host-specific stored glab credential, refreshes OAuth credentials, invalidates a token after a 401, and removes authorization on storage redirects. Web and mobile pull-request Markdown paths use the resolver. Tests cover link handling, credentials, API fetching, redirects, signing, and media behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #11412. Credential handling, shared media-fetch logic, asset routing, web and mobile rendering, documentation, and tests support the GitLab upload flow or preserve existing GitHub media behavior. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly complete. It includes the problem, fix, triaged issue, verification, screenshots, and test limitations. However, the implementation summary names an isRepositoryRelativePath hook that is not in the supplied changes. It also says raw HTML images are not covered, while the test summary includes HTML image sources. Update those details and add a recording that demonstrates video playback and seeking.

Log the upload host, not the full upload URL.

The GitLab upload URL contains the 32-character upload secret and the project path. The handler writes asset.url to the server log on every failed fetch. The repository rule says log annotations must stay bounded: expose "a URL's protocol and host instead" of signed URLs or credentials. Log the host only.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fence detection fails on CRLF lines.

markdown.split("\n") leaves a trailing \r on each line of a CRLF body. In JavaScript, . does not match \r, and FENCE_PATTERN has no m flag. A line such as "```md\r" therefore never matches FENCE_PATTERN. openFence stays null. The resolver then rewrites /uploads/ links inside fenced code blocks, which the PR intends to preserve.

Strip the trailing \r before the fence test. Keep line unchanged so the output keeps its original line endings.

Fixed in the latest commit: the fence test strips a trailing \r, and the output keeps its line endings. Added a CRLF case. splitPullRequestBody in client-runtime has the same limitation, but that is existing code outside this fix, so I left it for a separate change.

@Rasalas Verified by source inspection: the fence test removes the trailing \r from a copy of the line. The output retains the original line endings. The CRLF regression test checks that fenced upload links remain unchanged. I did not run tests.

Keeping the existing splitPullRequestBody limitation separate is reasonable. Would you like me to open a follow-up issue?

🟡 Minor · Fall back for GitLab retrieval failures. · SourceControlMedia.ts:191-200

apps/server/src/assets/SourceControlMedia.ts:191-200 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fall back for GitLab retrieval failures.

A 5xx response bypasses the current fallback condition and reaches mediaResponse, which returns an empty 502. A transport or client error from fetchFollowingRedirects rejects gitlabMediaResponse and reaches the route's empty 502 handler. The stated fallback contract requires redirecting to the original upload URL for these retrieval failures. Catch the fetch error and include 5xx responses in the existing fallback condition.

Bind media requests to the originating change request host.

SourceControlMediaRequest contains only url and forwarded headers. sourceControlDefinitions.mediaUrl also classifies only the URL; it does not receive or preserve the change request’s provider or host. Therefore, parseGitLabUpload accepts an unrelated HTTPS origin with a GitLab-shaped upload path, and the unauthenticated fallback can request it. Its redirect loop then follows every HTTPS destination.

Carry the originating change request’s approved GitLab origin or host set through media classification, the signed asset, and SourceControlMediaRequest. Reject the initial unauthenticated fallback and validate each of its redirects against that set.

Keep the authenticated API flow separate. Its initial API URL must use the approved GitLab origin, but GitLab can redirect that request to object storage, as the existing test demonstrates. Preserve that approved GitLab-to-object-store flow and continue removing authorization after the request leaves GitLab.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @Rasalas

Fixed in 2f92b674d1, more narrowly than suggested. The server now fetches an upload only from a host glab holds a login for, or from gitlab.com, and never asks any other host. T3 lists GitLab merge requests through glab, so every host whose merge requests can be open has a login. Redirects from those hosts still go anywhere over https, because GitLab hands uploads off to object storage. Threading the change request's host through the signed asset would change the media contract from #23994 for no extra protection. Covered in gitLabMediaFetch.test.ts ("asks no host that glab is not signed in to").

@Rasalas The narrower fix addresses the finding. I verified that the current code returns before any HTTP request when the initial host has no stored glab token and is not gitlab.com.

The regression test asserts that this case makes zero requests. HTTPS redirects to object storage remain supported, and authorization stays restricted to the GitLab origin. Carrying the change request host through the signed asset is not needed for this fix.

I inspected the code and tests but did not run the tests.

Can confirm it works on a self hosted gitlab instance :)

Synced from GitHub

Hey @Rasalas, thanks for sticking with this one! I tested 4b3746f89a against our self-hosted GitLab (19.4.3), and it works without any changes:

  • An MR with 19 PNG screenshots in its description rendered all of them through /api/assets.
  • An MR with two .mov screen recordings played both of them, and seeking worked.

Our hostname has no gitlab label (it looks like code.<company>.com), so matching on the upload path rather than the hostname is what makes this work for us. For comparison, #30165 needs its hostname check removed before it works on our instance. I've left a comment there too.

The PR has merge conflicts with main at the moment. Once it's rebased, I'm happy to re-test it.

@afrojun It's rebased now: a2810d02d8, no conflicts with main. Link resolution moved to render time, so this is worth a fresh run. A re-test on your instance would help, especially ticking a checkbox in an MR description that has uploads. The /uploads/… links should stay relative in GitLab.

Hey @Rasalas, thanks for rebasing! I re-tested a2810d02d8 against our self-hosted GitLab (19.4.3), using a scratch MR that has an uploaded PNG, an uploaded .mov and two checkboxes:

  • The screenshot and the recording both rendered through /api/assets, and seeking in the video worked.
  • After I ticked a checkbox in T3, GitLab's copy of the description had the box ticked and both links still relative (/uploads/<secret>/screenshot.png and /uploads/<secret>/recording.mov). The image and video kept rendering after the refresh too.

might want to support the ![alt](src){width=N height=N} syntax too once that's merged
