Usage

The plugin can be configured in the semantic-release configuration file:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    ["@semantic-release/gitlab", {
      "gitlabUrl": "https://custom.gitlab.com",
      "assets": [
        {"path": "dist/asset.min.css", "label": "CSS distribution"},
        {"path": "dist/asset.min.js", "label": "JS distribution"}
      ]
    }],
  ]
}

With this example GitLab releases will be published to the https://custom.gitlab.com instance.

Configuration

GitLab authentication

The GitLab authentication configuration is required and can be set via environment variables.

Create a personal access token with the api scope and make it available in your CI environment via the GL_TOKEN environment variable. If you are using GL_TOKEN as the remote Git repository authentication it must also have the write_repository scope.

Environment variables

Variable Description
GL_TOKEN or GITLAB_TOKEN Required. The token used to authenticate with GitLab.
GL_URL or GITLAB_URL The GitLab endpoint.
GL_PREFIX or GITLAB_PREFIX The GitLab API prefix.

Options

Option Description Default
gitlabUrl The GitLab endpoint. GL_URL or GITLAB_URL environment variable or CI provided environment variables if running on GitLab CI/CD or https://gitlab.com.

Each entry in the assets Array is globbed individually. A glob can be a String ("dist/**/*.js" or "dist/mylib.js") or an Array of Strings that will be globbed together (["dist/**", "!**/*.css"]).

If a directory is configured, all the files under this directory and its children will be included.

Note: If a file has a match in assets it will be included even if it also has a match in .gitignore.

assets examples

'dist/*.js': include all the js files in the dist directory, but not in its sub-directories.

[['dist', '!**/*.css']]: include all the files in the dist directory and its sub-directories excluding the css files.

[{path: 'dist/MyLibrary.js', label: 'MyLibrary JS distribution'}, {path: 'dist/MyLibrary.css', label: 'MyLibrary CSS distribution'}]: include the dist/MyLibrary.js and dist/MyLibrary.css files, and label them MyLibrary JS distribution and MyLibrary CSS distribution in the GitLab release.

[['dist/**/*.{js,css}', '!**/*.min.*'], {path: 'build/MyLibrary.zip', label: 'MyLibrary'}]: include all the js and css files in the dist directory and its sub-directories excluding the minified version, plus the build/MyLibrary.zip file and label it MyLibrary in the GitLab release.

Compatibility

Breaking changes in 14.0

If you are using GitLab.com or have upgraded your self-hosted GitLab instance to 14.0, please use version >=6.0.7 of this plugin.

Why?

In GitLab 14.0, creating a release using the Tags API has been removed (see #290311). This plugin was updated to use the Releases API instead in semantic-release#184, which is available in version 6.0.7 and beyond.
