The class lacks `retry()`, `cancel()`, and similar methods that `ProjectJob` has.\n\nFetching the bridge as a `ProjectJob` via `project.jobs.get(bridge.id)` also fails with a 404, since the `/projects/:id/jobs/:id` endpoint does not return bridge jobs.\n\nThe only way I found to retry a bridge is via a raw HTTP call:\n\n```python\npipeline = project.pipelines.get(pipeline_id)\nbridges = pipeline.bridges.list(all=True)\nbridge = bridges[0]\n\n# This fails - ProjectPipelineBridge has no retry()\nbridge.retry()  # AttributeError\n\n# This also fails - bridges aren't accessible via the jobs endpoint\nproject.jobs.get(bridge.id).retry()  # GitlabGetError: 404\n\n# Only this works\nproject.manager.gitlab.http_post(f\"/projects/{project.id}/jobs/{bridge.id}/retry\")\n```\n\n## Expected Behavior\n\n`ProjectPipelineBridge` should support `retry()` (and maybe other job actions like `cancel()`) either by:\n- Adding the appropriate mixins/custom actions to `ProjectPipelineBridge`, or\n- Making bridge jobs accessible via `project.jobs.get()`.\n\nThe GitLab REST API itself supports `POST /projects/:id/jobs/:job_id/retry` for bridge jobs ([since GitLab 17](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/jobs/#list-all-jobs-for-a-project:~:text=Prior%20to%20GitLab%2017.0%2C%20this%20endpoint%20does%20not%20support%20trigger%20jobs.)), it's only the python-gitlab object model that prevents it.\n\n## Actual Behavior\n\n- `bridge.retry()` raises `AttributeError: 'ProjectPipelineBridge' object has no attribute 'retry'`\n- `project.jobs.get(bridge.id)` raises `GitlabGetError: 404: 404 Not found`\n\n## Specifications\n\n  - python-gitlab version: 8.0.0\n  - Gitlab server version: self-hosted 18.5.5\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/eacherkan-via","@type":"Person","name":"eacherkan-via"},"datePublished":"2026-02-12T07:35:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/3346/python-gitlab/issues/3346"}
