how to get the file content in subdirectory？

[supler]

it will return 404 error using the below codes

with gitlab.Gitlab(url=GITLAB_URL, private_token=TOKEN) as gl:
    p = gl.projects.get(4)
    pom_file = p.files.get(file_path='lal-parent/pom.xml', ref=branch_name)

git likes as the below

lal-imp/
xx
lal-parent/pom.xml --------this is the file I wanted
pom.xml

@supler this should actually work. So this file either does not exist on the branch you're looking for, or you have some other issue like potentially fetching the wrong project, file path, branch etc.

but I always get error as the below

gitlab.exceptions.GitlabListError: 404: 404 Not Found

same exact issue here :( still didn't find a plausible solution

Will need more details.

Also you might try doing:
gl.enable_debug() to see what is being sent to the GitLab server.

Also helpful to look at the upstream docs:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/repository_files.html#get-file-from-repository

After activating the debug mode on the GitLab object instance, I was able to identify the the wrongly passed parameters.
It's now working as expected.
Tks for the hint 👍
