Issue when linking GitLab using Service Tokens

[b-per]

When using service tokens to call the API to link a GitLab repo natively with dbt Cloud the connection is not set up correctly and require manually reconnecting the repo.

The same config works when using a user token.

This has been raised to the engineering team and should be automatically fixed without any action on this repo once the changes are done in dbt Cloud.

Thanks for reporting. This is still an issue.

When diagnosing it I found the API for projects and/or repositories seems to show a little evidence of the problem

        "remote_backend": "gitlab",
        "git_clone_strategy": "deploy_token",
        "deploy_key_id": null,
        "repository_credentials_id": null,

Will not work, however setting this up as user in the UI I do see repository_credentials_id is set.

        "remote_backend": "gitlab",
        "git_clone_strategy": "deploy_token",
        "deploy_key_id": null,
        "repository_credentials_id": 6760,

The latter works fine

Hi @kcd83

Yes, this is still a problem, and the dbt Cloud team is aware of it, but there is nothing we can do just on the Terraform side for now. So, I keep this one as "blocked".
