Merge policy for Gitlab / Jenkins

Description

This script merge one branche to another using Gitlab Rest API.

• Create a merge request,
• Wait the merge request to be validated by a merge web hook on Gitlab (Gitlat configuration),
• Accept the merge request if the job succeeds,
• Tag the branch with a certain version number,

Use case

We have a dev branch and a release branch, we want at the end of the sprint merge dev into release.

Merge request script usage

The script has three arguments:

1. git project ssh url : git@XXX:other/YYY.git
2. project version : 1.0.0
3. dev branch name : dev
4. rc branch name : rc

merge_request.py git@XXX:other/YYY.git 1.0.0 dev rc

Usage in Jenkins:

RELEASE_VERSION=$(mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:2.1.1:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version | grep -v '\[')
echo $GIT_URL $RELEASE_VERSION
git add .
git commit -m "Finalize the version $RELEASE_VERSION"
git push origin dev

python /ZZZZ/merge_request.py $GIT_URL $RELEASE_VERSION dev rc
