Creation project with "." in name works incorrectly. #1006
Description
Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet
I'm trying to create project with "." in both name and path, using:
gl.projects.create({'namespace_id': group.id, 'name': projectName, 'path': projectName})Expected Behavior
Name and path are the same and equal to actual "projectName".
URL git_url/test_group/project.test
Actual Behavior
Name is correct, but path has "." replaced with "-".
For example "project.test" has path "project-test".
URL: git_url/test_group/project-test
Specifications
- python-gitlab version: 1.12.1
- API version you are using (v3/v4): v4
- Gitlab server version (or gitlab.com): 12.1.4-ee

Thanks for the report. I guess GitLab changed it now that
.is allowed in the path and name.I don't think that this was possible before.
Btw. it's dangerous to still run
12.1. There are a lot of critical security vulnabilites out in the open.Mukhamedgarif commentedon Feb 3, 2020
Thanks for reply. We tried as an experiment disable replacement and it looks that problem was solved.
gitlab/v4/objects.py
gitlab/init.py
But the question is: why %2E - "." becomes %2D - "-"?
In 12.1.4 I hadn't got any problems with creating project with "." in web UI.
