Validate .gitlab-ci.yml via POST request

GitLab CI/CD
1

According to this documentation (https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/ci/lint.html) it is possible to send a POST request to an endpoint provided by GitLab, that validates a .gitlab-ci.yml file.

I’m trying to utilize this. I wrote a PHPUnit test, read the contents of a .gitlab-ci.yml file and create a POST request with guzzle. But I get 400 Bad Request (content is missing).

  • I also tried it with pure php curl, but had no success either.

I’d appreciate any ideas or help.

This is the PHP test: https://appzap.githost.io/sebastian/typo3-gitlab-ci/blob/master/tests/GitLabCiFileTests.php

See the bottom of this build log for the test result: https://appzap.githost.io/sebastian/typo3-gitlab-ci/builds/131

Hello,

you are missing the content-type. I have created a small check-script (alas in Python), see https://gitlab.com/mfriedenhagen/snippets/snippets/31610#L79

Hello @mfriedenhagen
If you don’t mine still I’m not able to figure out how to deploy my app into my local server whenever I merge my code with master,
for this do I need to setup any config files or ssh keys, or git runner on my server.

What I did still now,

  1. I’ve installed runner in my local machine.
  2. Able to write gitlab-ci.yml file and passing the builds, it’s showing as deployed but it’s not deployed–

Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.8.1 (a2efdd4)

Could you please help us how to configure Continous deployment.

Hello Bharadwaja,

I think this is a completely different topic, so please create a new one. You should at least copy your gitlab-ci.yml as well to the post. Regards Mirko
