How to set up and validate locally

  • Setup local runners on your GDK
  • Create a multi-project pipeline. Here is a simple config:
stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

hi:
  stage: "test"
  script: "echo I run only on master"

hi2:
  stage: "deploy"
  script: "echo I run only on master"
  needs: ['hi']

trigger_other_project_okay_really:
  stage: deploy
  trigger:
    include:
      - project: "root/large-pipeline" # replace with another project
        file: ".gitlab-ci.yml"

Then in the other project, any config will do:

job_from_other_project:
  script: echo hello
  • Make sure it is linked to another one of your local project
  • Make the downstream pipeline fail/cancel a job
  • Notice the retry action will appear on the downstream card
  • You can do the same with the upstream (cancel a job)
  • Then go to the downstream project in the related pipeline
  • Notice the upstream has the retry action
  • Click Retry
  • Expand the multi project pipeline graph
  • Notice that the cancelled job has restarted
