gitlab-trace 0.8.0

Sometimes I want to look at the GitLab CI build status from my terminal

$ gitlab-trace
GitLab project: Foretagsdeklaration/foretagsdeklaration
Available jobs for pipeline #84214:
   --job=500786 - success - build_server
   --job=500787 - success - build_client
   --job=500788 - success - test_safety
   --job=500789 - success - test_dev_safety
   --job=500790 - success - test_bandit
   --job=500791 - success - test_crontabs
   --job=500792 - success - test_newrelic
   --job=500793 - success - unittests_server
   --job=500794 - success - unittests_client
   --job=500795 - success - build_docker_image
   --job=500796 - failed - test_robot
   --job=500797 - success - test_robot_bolfin

You can take a closer look at a failed job by passing the job ID

$ gitlab-trace --job=500796
...
Uploading artifacts...
robottests/output: found 540 matching files
Uploading artifacts to coordinator... ok            id=500796 responseStatus=201 Created token=6yaRqQPr
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

You can watch a job while it is running

$ gitlab-trace --job=500796 --tail --follow
...
Uploading artifacts...
robottests/output: found 540 matching files
Uploading artifacts to coordinator... ok            id=500796 responseStatus=201 Created token=6yaRqQPr
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

You can watch the currently running job

$ gitlab-trace --running --tail --follow
...
Uploading artifacts...
robottests/output: found 540 matching files
Uploading artifacts to coordinator... ok            id=500796 responseStatus=201 Created token=6yaRqQPr
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

You can look at a different branch

$ gitlab-trace --branch=master
GitLab project: Foretagsdeklaration/foretagsdeklaration
https://git.vaultit.org/Foretagsdeklaration/foretagsdeklaration/pipelines/84185
Available jobs for pipeline #84185:
   --job=500692 - success - build_server
   --job=500693 - success - build_client
   --job=500694 - success - test_safety
   --job=500695 - success - test_dev_safety
   --job=500696 - success - test_bandit
   --job=500697 - success - test_crontabs
   --job=500698 - success - test_newrelic
   --job=500699 - success - unittests_server
   --job=500700 - success - unittests_client
   --job=500701 - success - build_docker_image
   --job=500702 - failed - test_robot
   --job=500703 - success - test_robot_bolfin
   --job=500704 - success - tag_docker_image
   --job=500705 - manual - deploy_stv_managedkube_alpha
   --job=500706 - manual - deploy_id06_alpha
   --job=500707 - manual - deploy_id06_alpha_fs31
   --job=500708 - manual - deploy_id06_beta
   --job=500709 - manual - deploy_id06_beta_fs31
   --job=500710 - manual - deploy_stv_alpha
   --job=500747 - success - test_robot

You can look at the Nth latest pipeline

$ gitlab-trace -1   # the latest one, default when run with no arguments

$ gitlab-trace -2   # the one before that

$ gitlab-trace --branch=mybranch -1   # the last one on this branch

You can look at a specific pipeline by ID

$ gitlab-trace 84185

You can look at a specific job in that pipeline

$ gitlab-trace 84185 test_robot

If a job has been retried several times you can look at a specific run

$ gitlab-trace 84185 test_robot 1

$ gitlab-trace 84185 test_robot 2
