http://localhost:8080/ansible_f5/4.test/index.html Head back to the .gitlab-ci.yml file and edit the file again. This time add two new stages, one called info and one called test so that the stages section looks like the following: stages: - registry - container - info - test Immediately following the stages section add the following to include some pre-built Gitlab testing tools: include: - template: Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml - template: Jobs/SAST-IaC.gitlab-ci.yml - template: Security/Secret-Detection.gitlab-ci.yml sast: tags: - ansible_f5 kics-iac-sast: tags: - ansible_f5 secret_detection: tags: - ansible_f5 Hugo en-us Wed, 27 Mar 2024 10:40:21 -0400 http://localhost:8080/ansible_f5/4.test/get_info/index.html Wed, 27 Mar 2024 10:40:21 -0400 http://localhost:8080/ansible_f5/4.test/get_info/index.html While still editing the .gitlab-ci.yml, add the following definition at the end of the file to define the info stage: get_info: stage: info rules: - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main"' when: always image: ${CI_REGISTRY}/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}/ansible:latest tags: - ansible_f5 script: - whoami - pip list - cat /etc/passwd - ansible --version - ls -al /home/ansible/.ssh - env allow_failure: true This is purely a debugging stage used during pipeline generation. It runs the ansible container image we created and then runs different commands from within the container to aid in troubleshooting. http://localhost:8080/ansible_f5/4.test/test_code/index.html Wed, 27 Mar 2024 10:40:21 -0400 http://localhost:8080/ansible_f5/4.test/test_code/index.html Next copy the following block at the end to define the testing stage: test_code: stage: test rules: - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main"' when: always image: ${CI_REGISTRY}/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}/ansible:latest tags: - ansible_f5 script: - ansible --version allow_failure: false Commit the changes and browse back to the CI/CD pipeline and view the info and test stages after the container build completes. In the info stage select the get_info job to view the output from the env command. This shows all the different variables that Gitlab makes available to the CI/CD process by default. Many are used during this build configuration to make it modular and re-usable.
