Gitlab Comment Reporter
Posts MegaLinter results summary in the comments of the related Gitlab merge request (if existing)
Usage
Click on hyperlinks to access detailed logs (click on Download in Artifacts section at the left of a CI job page)
After a first MegaLinter run, a comment is posted on the MR. To avoid multiplicating MegaLinter MR comments, future MegaLinter runs will update the existing MR comment instead of posting a new one.
If you really want a new MR comment for each MegaLinter run, define variable GITLAB_COMMENT_REPORTER_OVERWRITE_COMMENT to false.
Configuration
- Create an access token with scope api
- Paste the access token in a masked CI/CD variable named GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN_MEGALINTER in your project (repository)
| Variable | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| GITLAB_COMMENT_REPORTER | Activates/deactivates reporter | true |
| GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN_MEGALINTER | Must contain a Gitlab private access token defined with api access | |
| GITLAB_COMMENT_REPORTER_OVERWRITE_COMMENT | Set to false to not overwrite existing comments in case of new runs on the same Merge Request | true |
| GITLAB_CUSTOM_CERTIFICATE | SSL certificate value to connect to Gitlab | |
| GITLAB_CERTIFICATE_PATH | Path to SSL certificate to connect to Gitlab (if SSL cert has been manually defined with PRE_COMMANDS) | |
| REPORTERS_MARKDOWN_TYPE | Set to simple to avoid external images in generated markdown |
