Github Action to trigger Gitlab CD pipeline

Credit to digital-blueprint, This clone is adapted to my usecase.

GitHub | GitHub Marketplace

This GitHub action triggers and waits for a GitLab pipeline to complete.

You can for example use this action in your GitHub workflow to trigger a deployment pipeline on a private GitLab server after a successful build pipeline and wait for the deployment (with possible End2End tests) to finish, so you would get a notification if the deployment failed.

Inputs

URL

The GitLab URL to trigger the pipeline on. Default gitlab.com.

PROJECT_ID

Required The ID or path of the project owned by the authenticated user. You will find the Project ID in the General Settings of your GitLab project.

REF_NAME

The branch or tag to run the pipeline on. Default main.

GITLB_TRIGGER_TOKEN

Required The GitLab pipeline trigger token to trigger the pipeline.

PIPELINE_VARIABLES

A map of key-valued strings containing the pipeline variables. For example: { VAR1: "value1", VAR2: "value2" }.. Default "World".

Outputs

The URL of the pipeline, for example https://gitlab.com/foo/bar/pipelines/47.
