Multiple Url support for Review Apps
Release notes
Allow the support of multiple urls in a Review App environment.
Problem to solve
Sometimes we have multiple apps in 1 repository, e.g. a front and backend application, which have different urls. Currently you can only set 1 url per environment and generally these urls are dynamically generated on the hosting platform after a deployment. So currently there is only 1 button displayed in the Merge Request UI which opens the environment url.
Proposal
Allow the environment url
property to be either a string
or an array
of strings like the example below:
deploy_review:
stage: deploy
script:
- sh deploy.sh
- DYNAMIC_URL_FRONTEND=$(get_url.sh --app=frontend)
- DYNAMIC_URL_BACKEND=$(get_url.sh --app=backend)
- echo "DYNAMIC_URL_FRONTEND=$DYNAMIC_URL_FRONTEND" >> deploy.env
- echo "DYNAMIC_URL_BACKEND=$DYNAMIC_URL_BACKEND" >> deploy.env
artifacts:
reports:
dotenv: deploy.env
environment:
name: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
url:
- $DYNAMIC_URL_FRONTEND
- $DYNAMIC_URL_BACKEND
on_stop: stop_review
