gitlab client utility
This is just a small weekend hack to write a command-line utility to access status of a test pipeline. I wanted something to avoid bouncing between my terminal window and a web browser when I was doing trial and error iterations.
So, what I'm doing now is just:
- ... edit, compile, commit ...
git push -f origin HEAD:refs/heads/olofj/testbranch- ... wait a few sec
gcl list-pipelinesgcl list-jobs -p <pipeline from the table above>
Installation
cargo install --path .
(or, if you prefer to run out of the source directory:
cargo build
then
cargo run list-pipelines
... etc
To get started and configure tokens:
cargo run login --token <token from web ui> --url <server url>
The API needs the project specified, and it can be sort of random
which one you end up needing -- it's certainly not necessarily a low
number. It's available to pass in with -P <id> on the commands, but
what I've done is that I just set the envornment variable:
export GITLAB_PROJECT=123
Note: list-projects isn't working at this time, hasn't been a priority
to fix
TODO
I haven't used structopts much, and I haven't been able to get it to
work quite how I'd like it to. For show-job I wanted it to behave a bit
like tail, with -f and -<N> for last N lines. It takes the -<N>
as an argument by default and complains, for example.
