How to set up and validate locally
- Make sure to turn on the
new_environments_table
feature flag. On the GitLab repository, run:
cd ./bin
./rails console
Feature.enable(:new_environments_table) //turns on the feature flag
Feature.disable(:new_environments_table) //turns off the feature flag, takes some time to kick in
- Enable runners in your GDK/Gitpod -- see instructions
- Then add the following
.gitlab-ci.yml
