My pipeline has 4 stages
- build - Should only happen on merge requests
- test - Should only happen on merge requests
- report - Should only happen on merge into master
- release - Should only happen on merge into master
BUILD: During the build phase I build my test container and upload it to the container registry.
TEST: During the test phase I run the tests within the container, copy out the coverage report from the container and artifact the entire report directory.
REPORT: During the reporting stage I want to copy the artifact from my reporting stage into a Gitlab page directory so we can view the report.
RELEASE: Does terraform plan apply and building the production container.
Since my report and release stages are detached, I'm unable to upload the artifact that was created in a different stage. My work around is to upload the current cov report to /public/<commit-sha> and then move it to /public when it successfully merges with master. Might not be the best solution but I have limited knowledge on gitlab's pipelines.
The issue I'm having is pretty weird.
pages:
stage: report
dependencies:
- unittest
script:
- if [ "$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" == "master" ]; then mv public/$CI_COMMIT_SHA public/; else mv coverage/ public/$CI_COMMIT_SHA; fi
artifacts:
paths:
- public
expire_in: 30 days
This complains that mv: can't rename 'coverage/': No such file or directory
However this works perfectly fine
pages:
stage: report
dependencies:
- unittest
script:
- mv coverage/ public
artifacts:
paths:
- public
expire_in: 30 days
If there's an easier solution to pass artifacts between jobs that would be great, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something really obvious in my script.
