# Pipelines for the GitLab project
2019-11-27 01:06:40 -05:00
Pipelines for < https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab > and < https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab-foss > (as well as the
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
`dev` instance's mirrors) are configured in the usual
[`.gitlab-ci.yml` ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml )
which itself includes files under
[`.gitlab/ci/` ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/tree/master/.gitlab/ci )
for easier maintenance.
We're striving to [dogfood ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/#dogfooding )
GitLab [CI/CD features and best-practices ](../ci/yaml/README.md )
as much as possible.
## Stages
The current stages are:
2019-11-27 01:06:40 -05:00
- `sync` : This stage is used to synchronize changes from < https: // gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab > to
< https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab-foss > .
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
- `prepare` : This stage includes jobs that prepare artifacts that are needed by
jobs in subsequent stages.
2020-04-28 08:09:44 -04:00
- `build-images` : This stage includes jobs that prepare docker images
that are needed by jobs in subsequent stages or downstream pipelines.
- `fixtures` : This stage includes jobs that prepare fixtures needed by frontend tests.
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
- `test` : This stage includes most of the tests, DB/migration jobs, and static analysis jobs.
2019-11-29 10:06:43 -05:00
- `post-test` : This stage includes jobs that build reports or gather data from
the `test` stage's jobs (e.g. coverage, Knapsack metadata etc.).
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
- `review-prepare` : This stage includes a job that build the CNG images that are
later used by the (Helm) Review App deployment (see
[Review Apps ](testing_guide/review_apps.md ) for details).
- `review` : This stage includes jobs that deploy the GitLab and Docs Review Apps.
- `qa` : This stage includes jobs that perform QA tasks against the Review App
that is deployed in the previous stage.
2019-11-29 10:06:43 -05:00
- `post-qa` : This stage includes jobs that build reports or gather data from
the `qa` stage's jobs (e.g. Review App performance report).
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
- `pages` : This stage includes a job that deploys the various reports as
2019-11-27 01:06:40 -05:00
GitLab Pages (e.g. < https: / / gitlab-org . gitlab . io / gitlab / coverage-ruby / > ,
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
< https: / / gitlab-org . gitlab . io / gitlab / coverage-javascript / > ,
< https: / / gitlab-org . gitlab . io / gitlab / webpack-report / > ).
## Default image
2020-04-01 08:08:00 -04:00
The default image is defined in < https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab / blob / master / . gitlab-ci . yml > .
2019-10-31 02:06:31 -04:00
2020-04-01 08:08:00 -04:00
It includes Ruby, Go, Git, Git LFS, Chrome, Node, Yarn, PostgreSQL, and Graphics Magick.
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
The images used in our pipelines are configured in the
[`gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images` ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images )
project, which is push-mirrored to < https: / / dev . gitlab . org / gitlab / gitlab-build-images >
for redundancy.
The current version of the build images can be found in the
2019-10-31 02:06:31 -04:00
["Used by GitLab section" ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml ).
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
## Default variables
In addition to the [predefined variables ](../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md ),
2019-10-31 02:06:31 -04:00
each pipeline includes default variables defined in
< https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab / blob / master / . gitlab-ci . yml > .
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
## Common job definitions
Most of the jobs [extend from a few CI definitions ](../ci/yaml/README.md#extends )
2020-03-09 08:07:45 -04:00
defined in [`.gitlab/ci/global.gitlab-ci.yml` ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/.gitlab/ci/global.gitlab-ci.yml )
that are scoped to a single [configuration parameter ](../ci/yaml/README.md#configuration-parameters ).
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
2020-02-18 10:08:51 -05:00
| Job definitions | Description |
|------------------|-------------|
| `.default-tags` | Ensures a job has the `gitlab-org` tag to ensure it's using our dedicated runners. |
| `.default-retry` | Allows a job to [retry ](../ci/yaml/README.md#retry ) upon `unknown_failure` , `api_failure` , `runner_system_failure` , `job_execution_timeout` , or `stuck_or_timeout_failure` . |
| `.default-before_script` | Allows a job to use a default `before_script` definition suitable for Ruby/Rails tasks that may need a database running (e.g. tests). |
| `.default-cache` | Allows a job to use a default `cache` definition suitable for Ruby/Rails and frontend tasks. |
2020-03-09 08:07:45 -04:00
| `.use-pg11` | Allows a job to use the `postgres:11.6` and `redis:alpine` services. |
| `.use-pg11-ee` | Same as `.use-pg11` but also use the `docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.4.2` services. |
2020-04-28 08:09:44 -04:00
| `.use-kaniko` | Allows a job to use the `kaniko` tool to build Docker images. |
2020-02-18 10:08:51 -05:00
| `.as-if-foss` | Simulate the FOSS project by setting the `FOSS_ONLY='1'` environment variable. |
2020-03-09 08:07:45 -04:00
## `workflow:rules`
We're using the [`workflow:rules` keyword ](../ci/yaml/README.md#workflowrules ) to
define default rules to determine whether or not a pipeline is created.
These rules are defined in < https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab / blob / master / . gitlab-ci . yml >
and are as follows:
1. If `$FORCE_GITLAB_CI` is set, create a pipeline.
1. For merge requests, create a pipeline.
1. For `master` branch, create a pipeline (this includes on schedules, pushes, merges, etc.).
1. For tags, create a pipeline.
1. If `$GITLAB_INTERNAL` isn't set, don't create a pipeline.
2020-03-09 14:07:59 -04:00
1. For stable, auto-deploy, and security branches, create a pipeline.
1. For any other cases (e.g. when pushing a branch with no MR for it), no pipeline is created.
2020-03-09 08:07:45 -04:00
2020-02-18 10:08:51 -05:00
## `rules`, `if:` conditions and `changes:` patterns
We're using the [`rules` keyword ](../ci/yaml/README.md#rules ) extensively.
All `rules` definitions are defined in
< https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab / - / blob / master / . gitlab / ci / rules . gitlab-ci . yml > ,
then included in individual jobs via [`extends` ](../ci/yaml/README.md#extends ).
The `rules` definitions are composed of `if:` conditions and `changes:` patterns,
which are also defined in
< https: / / gitlab . com / gitlab-org / gitlab / - / blob / master / . gitlab / ci / rules . gitlab-ci . yml >
and included in `rules` definitions via [YAML anchors ](../ci/yaml/README.md#anchors )

2019-12-23 16:07:52 -05:00
2020-03-27 05:08:28 -04:00
## Interruptible jobs pipelines
By default, all jobs are [interruptible ](../ci/yaml/README.md#interruptible ), except the
`dont-interrupt-me` job which runs automatically on `master` , and is `manual`
otherwise.
If you want a running pipeline to finish even if you push new commits to a merge
request, be sure to start the `dont-interrupt-me` job before pushing.

## Pipeline types
2019-09-17 10:16:34 -04:00
2020-04-21 11:21:10 -04:00
Since we use the [`rules:` ](../ci/yaml/README.md#rules ) and [`needs:` ](../ci/yaml/README.md#needs ) keywords extensively,
we have four main pipeline types which are described below. Note that an MR that includes multiple types of changes would
have a pipelines that include jobs from multiple types (e.g. a combination of docs-only and code-only pipelines).
### Docs-only MR pipeline

## Pre-clone step
The `gitlab-org/gitlab` project on GitLab.com uses a [pre-clone step ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/39134 )
to seed the project with a recent archive of the repository. This is done for
several reasons:
- It speeds up builds because a 800 MB download only takes seconds, as opposed to a full Git clone.
- It significantly reduces load on the file server, as smaller deltas mean less time spent in `git pack-objects` .
The pre-clone step works by using the `CI_PRE_CLONE_SCRIPT` variable
[defined by GitLab.com shared runners ](../user/gitlab_com/index.md#pre-clone-script ).
The `CI_PRE_CLONE_SCRIPT` is currently defined as a project CI/CD
variable:
```shell
echo "Downloading archived master..."
wget -O /tmp/gitlab.tar.gz https://storage.googleapis.com/gitlab-ci-git-repo-cache/project-278964/gitlab-master.tar.gz
if [ ! -f /tmp/gitlab.tar.gz ]; then
echo "Repository cache not available, cloning a new directory..."
exit
fi
rm -rf $CI_PROJECT_DIR
echo "Extracting tarball into $CI_PROJECT_DIR..."
mkdir -p $CI_PROJECT_DIR
cd $CI_PROJECT_DIR
tar xzf /tmp/gitlab.tar.gz
rm -f /tmp/gitlab.tar.gz
chmod a+w $CI_PROJECT_DIR
```
The first step of the script downloads `gitlab-master.tar.gz` from
Google Cloud Storage. There is a [GitLab CI job named `cache-repo` ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/.gitlab/ci/cache-repo.gitlab-ci.yml#L5 )
that is responsible for keeping that archive up-to-date. Every two hours
on a scheduled pipeline, it does the following:
1. Creates a fresh clone of the `gitlab-org/gitlab` repository on GitLab.com.
1. Saves the data as a `.tar.gz` .
1. Uploads it into the Google Cloud Storage bucket.
When a CI job runs with this configuration, you'll see something like
this:
```shell
$ eval "$CI_PRE_CLONE_SCRIPT"
Downloading archived master...
Extracting tarball into /builds/group/project...
Fetching changes...
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /builds/group/project/.git/
```
Note that the `Reinitialized existing Git repository` message shows that
the pre-clone step worked. The runner runs `git init` , which
overwrites the Git configuration with the appropriate settings to fetch
from the GitLab repository.
`CI_REPO_CACHE_CREDENTIALS` contains the Google Cloud service account
JSON for uploading to the `gitlab-ci-git-repo-cache` bucket. These
credentials are stored in the 1Password GitLab.com Production vault.
Note that this bucket should be located in the same continent as the
runner, or [network egress charges will apply ](https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing ).
