[Introduced][ce-5953] in GitLab 8.12.
Checks if your .gitlab-ci.yml file is valid.
POST ci/lint| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
content |
string | yes | the .gitlab-ci.yaml content |
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/ci/lint --data '{"content": "{ \"image\": \"ruby:2.1\", \"services\": [\"postgres\"], \"before_script\": [\"gem install bundler\", \"bundle install\", \"bundle exec rake db:create\"], \"variables\": {\"DB_NAME\": \"postgres\"}, \"types\": [\"test\", \"deploy\", \"notify\"], \"rspec\": { \"script\": \"rake spec\", \"tags\": [\"ruby\", \"postgres\"], \"only\": [\"branches\"]}}"}'Be sure to copy paste the exact contents of .gitlab-ci.yml as YAML is very picky about indentation and spaces.
Example responses:
Valid content:
{
"status": "valid",
"errors": []
}Invalid content:
{
"status": "invalid",
"errors": [
"variables config should be a hash of key value pairs"
]
}Without the content attribute:
{
"error": "content is missing"
}
