How to set up and validate locally

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.

  1. Setup a runner for the dev instance
  2. Create a pipeline in a project. Example:
stages:
  - test

test-job:
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "$CI_JOB_NAME"
    - echo "$CI_TRIGGER_SHORT_TOKEN"
  1. Create a trigger token by navigating to Settings -> CI/CD -> Pipeline trigger tokens
  2. Create a pipeline by sending a POST request to https://<instance url>/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/ref/<ref_name>/trigger/pipeline?token=<token>
  3. Verify that CI_TRIGGER_SHORT_TOKEN has a value in the job output
