Feature request - disallowing shared runners on group level

[torinthiel]

The gitlab_project resource has an attribute shared_runners_enabled, which corresponds to similar setting in gitlab. However this setting exists as well on the group level, along with another one that blocks override on subgroups/projects.

It would be nice to be able to set this on the group level as well.

This is a request to add the shared_runners_enabled attribute to the gitlab_group resource.

I was curious and took a look into this issue, but at a first glance, this does not look as straightforward. Isn't it an issue that the Create Group API does not support setting the shared_runners_setting on creation? According to the documentation, it is only present on the Update Group.

[armsnyder]

Yep, there are some GitLab APIs like that. It's less straightforward, but we do have a way of handling it. In the provider "create" function...

1. Call the create API
2. Set the resource Id (d.SetId(...))
3. Call the update API (conditional on if shared_runners_setting needs to be updated)
4. return

@torinthiel Can I work on this ?

[timofurrer]

@teekhandekar Yes, feel free to open a PR for that. @armsnyder has pretty much laid out the implementation steps already.

In addition, can you implement all the shared runners fields. Looking through the docs I can at least see these:

• Available on create:
  • shared_runners_minutes_limit
  • extra_shared_runners_minutes_limit
• Available on update:
  • shared_runners_setting also see the options for that
• Available on read:
  • shared_runners_enabled

For the shared_runners_enabled field I've created a PR for go-gitlab to support it here:
