Gitlab CI Pipeline

The pipelines for a project are sole responsibility of the development team to manage and we have templated the workflows extensively to provide short hand expressions to configure the CI.

Gitlab pipelines are defined in easy to read YAML syntax and theres intuitive documentation available for them. But let's walk through the structure and usage with templated pipeline specifically built in context of Openxcell's Development Platform.

Structure

An Ideal CI File will look as follows:

.gitlab-ci.yml

include: https://gitlab.openxcell.dev/public-resources/gitlab-ci/-/raw/master/templates/build.yaml # CI Template to Include

stages:
  - build
  - deploy

variables: 
  PROJECT: "PROJECT_NAME"

build:
  stage: build
  extends: .build #Mixin to Extend
  only: 
  - main

deploy: 
  stage: deploy
  extends: .deploy_devspace
  variables:
    CONT_PORT: "8080" # Port on Which your app is configured to Listen On
    PROJECT_URL: "https://$PROJECT.apps.openxcell.dev"
  only: 
    - main
