declarative pipeline and gitlab

[Pa Y]

Hello,

has somebody managed successfully to use declarative pipeline and gitlab?

I followed the instructions listed here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jenkins.html and this works for freestyle jobs. we use this already without problems.

Now, I try to move to pipelines to have more options in general.

So far, we get gitlab hook sent succcessfully but for this we need to disable in Jenkins : Prevent Cross Site Request Forgery exploits , what I don't really want...

And anyway after hook was sent, Jenkins job can't be triggered

can maybe somebody share a running example?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi,

Maybe it's a "mister obvious" answer but have you set up the build trigger on the receiving pipeline? In the pipeline configuration you should have an option "Build when a change is pushed to gitlab" that you can enable and select the set of the events that would trigger the pipeline.
Also from here you can confirm that the webhook you are using is correct.

Hi Gabriele,

yes, you are right,thanks. The issue was the URL used (I need to RTFM carefully)...  as it seems you have experience with this: by using pipeline so far I get in Jenkins only a note like "Started ​by ​GitLab ​push ​by.." without any link to gitlab merg request.. by using freestyle job, the links are overall there. did you manage to get this?

Best Regards,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

 

which Links? I am seeing Links to GitLab “Commits” in “Changes” section (scripted pipeline; only “Push Events” is enabled for GitLab Triggers; Git checkout has configured “gitlab” as repository browser; this requires Git plugin in beta version IIRC; in addition the pipeline finally calls “updateGitlabCommitStatus” step, but this is another story)

Hallo Reinhold,

I mean that using freestyle jobs in Jenkins we get for each Build a message like:

"Triggered by  GitLab Merge Request #1: ​Tests/feature/1234567 ​=> ​master" (and this is a link to gitlab)

and in Gitlab merge request you get a message like:

"Jenkins Robot @jenkins commented 2 mins ago
 Jenkins Build SUCCESS
Results available at: Jenkins [xxxx mergeRequests #26] " (and this a link to Jenkins build)

but based on your hint, I got all jenkins plugins up to date now and I set trigger for mergerequest events only (not push) and it works fine with pipelines :)

Regards,

Pablo
