GitLab - Scan your source code for feature flags

This section describes how to use the ConfigCat CLI in GitLab CI/CD to automatically scan your source code for feature flag and setting usages and upload the found code references to ConfigCat.

Setup

Create a new ConfigCat Management API credential and store its values in GitLab's CI/CD Variables with the following names: CONFIGCAT_API_USER, CONFIGCAT_API_PASS.
Get your selected Config's ID.

Create a new or open your existing .gitlab-ci.yml file, and put the following job into it.
Don't forget to replace the PASTE-YOUR-CONFIG-ID-HERE value with your actual Config ID.

configcat-scan-repository:
  stage: deploy # the job will run in the deploy phase, but you can choose from any other phases you have
  image:
    name: configcat/cli:1.6.2
    entrypoint: [""]
  script:
    - configcat scan $CI_PROJECT_DIR 
        --config-id=PASTE-YOUR-CONFIG-ID-HERE 
        --repo=${CI_PROJECT_NAME}
        --branch=${CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME}
        --file-url-template=https://gitlab.com/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}/blob/{commitHash}/{filePath}#L{lineNumber}
        --commit-url-template=https://gitlab.com/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}/commit/{commitHash}
        --runner="ConfigCat GitLab Job" 
        --upload
        --non-interactive

Commit & push your changes.

Scan reports are uploaded for each branch of your repository that triggers the job.
