I like gitlab very much and i see that they improve there autodevops feature. That looks promising that i now can include single steps.
I'm playing around with autodevops and currently it sucks. I cloned there script and the helm chart otherwise it is not possible to just use it.
And quite frankly if you promote it as auto and enable it on default and it is not able to build a standard spring boot application or a angular frontend, i'm a little bit disappointed.
there is also a bug open for frontend builds: It is able to detect and build the anguluar project but is not able to execute karma tests because the image doesn't contain chromium. And for the backend there is another bug: autodevops builds the spring boot application and enables/enforces postgresql ssl but the image from gitlab for postgresql doesn't support it.
Hi @sigi45, GitLam PM here. Thanks, I'm glad you like GitLab and have noticed the improvements we've been working on for Auto DevOps. I'm sorry things didn't work out of the box for you, we've worked to cover many use cases but we recognize we don't yet cover them all. If the particular stage in question is not supported you have a couple of options: 1) you can disable the particular job in question with the use of environment variables (see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#environment-va...) or you can use composable Auto DevOps to only pull in the parts that are relevant to your project and use a customized CI script that fits your application better. More info on composable Auto DevOps here https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#using-componen.... Is your project public by chance? Would like to take a look and make sure we do what we can to support it. Thanks.
I personally have asumed that when you introduce autodevops, you would make sure that the top x default stacks are working fine. Spring Boot and Angular are very popular (i believe) but they don't work out of the box but not much is missing.
