gitlab-org / coming-soon

Overview

The CI/CD workflow in the gitlab-org/coming-soon project is designed to automate the process of building, testing, and deploying the application. It is essential to streamline development and ensure consistent quality.

Current CI/CD Setup Status

As of now, the CI/CD setup for this project is not yet configured. It is crucial to establish this system to take full advantage of the benefits that CI/CD offers.

Immediate Next Steps

  1. CI/CD Configuration: Set up a .gitlab-ci.yml file in the root directory of your project. This file will define the various stages and jobs in your CI/CD pipeline.

  2. Determine Stages: Identify the stages required for your application. Typical stages include:

    • build
    • test
    • deploy

  3. Define Jobs: Each stage will contain jobs that specify the scripts to execute.

  4. Testing Framework: Decide on a testing framework to incorporate automated tests.

Example CI/CD Configuration

Below is an example configuration for the gitlab-org/coming-soon project. This sample .gitlab-ci.yml file encompasses a basic CI/CD pipeline with build, test, and deploy stages.

stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

build_job:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "Building the project..."
    - npm install

test_job:
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "Running tests..."
    - npm test

deploy_job:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - echo "Deploying application..."
    - deploy_script.sh

Breakdown of Example Configuration

  • Stages: The stages section specifies the order of operations in the pipeline. Here, three stages are defined: build, test, and deploy.

  • Build Job (build_job):

    • This job installs dependencies for the project.
    • The command npm install is used to fetch all necessary packages for the application.

  • Test Job (test_job):

    • The script for this job executes the testing framework.
    • The command npm test runs the tests defined in the project.

  • Deploy Job (deploy_job):

    • This job handles deployment, which is executed through a script (for example, deploy_script.sh). Ensure that the deploy_script.sh script is present and configured correctly to manage deployment processes.

Conclusion

Setting up CI/CD for the gitlab-org/coming-soon project will enhance development efficiency and maintain code integrity. Follow the immediate next steps to establish a solid CI/CD workflow tailored to the needs of this project.
