Based on project un-ts/changesets-gitlab by JounQin

GitLab CI CLI for changesets, similar to the GitHub Action. It creates a merge request with all of the package versions updated and changelogs updated, and when there are new changesets on the default branch, the MR will be updated. When you're ready, you can merge the merge request and either publish the packages to npm manually or set up the CLI to do it for you.

Usage

Inputs

Note: environment variables are case-sensitive

  • INPUT_PUBLISH - The command to use to build and publish packages
  • INPUT_VERSION - The command to update version, edit CHANGELOG, read and delete changesets. Defaults to changeset version if not provided
  • INPUT_COMMIT - The commit message to use. Default Version Packages
  • INPUT_TITLE - The merge request title. Default Version Packages

Only available in @dvashim/changesets-gitlab

  • INPUT_PUBLISHED - Command executed after publishing
  • INPUT_ONLY_CHANGESETS - Command executed when only changesets are detected
  • INPUT_REMOVE_SOURCE_BRANCH - Enables the merge request "Delete source branch" checkbox. Default false
  • INPUT_TARGET_BRANCH - The merge request target branch. Defaults to the current branch
  • INPUT_CREATE_GITLAB_RELEASES - Whether to create GitLab releases after publish. Default true
  • INPUT_LABELS - A comma-separated string of labels to add to the version package merge request

Outputs

  • PUBLISHED - A boolean value indicating whether publishing happened
  • PUBLISHED_PACKAGES - A JSON array of published packages. Format: [{"name": "@xx/xx", "version": "1.2.0"}, {"name": "@xx/xy", "version": "0.8.9"}]

Environment Variables

GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY  # optional, if you're using a custom GitLab service under proxy
GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY # as above but for https requests
GLOBAL_AGENT_NO_PROXY    # as above but for non-proxied requests

# http_proxy, https_proxy, no_proxy environment variables are also supported

GITLAB_HOST # optional, custom GitLab host, falls back to `CI_SERVER_URL` if not provided

GITLAB_TOKEN                           # required, token with access to push, package registries, and merge request APIs. Note: CI_JOB_TOKEN does not have sufficient permissions
GITLAB_TOKEN_TYPE                      # optional, type of the provided token. Defaults to personal access token. Set to `oauth` for GitLab OAuth tokens
GITLAB_CI_USER_NAME                    # optional, username for pushing, paired with the token (if personal access token). If not set, read from the GitLab API
GITLAB_CI_USER_EMAIL                   # optional, default `gitlab[bot]@users.noreply.gitlab.com`
GITLAB_COMMENT_TYPE                    # optional, type of the comment. Defaults to `discussion`. Set to `note` for a simple comment instead of a thread
GITLAB_COMMENT_DISCUSSION_AUTO_RESOLVE # optional, auto-resolve discussion when changeset is present. If you want to always resolve, use `GITLAB_COMMENT_TYPE=note` instead. Default `true`
GITLAB_COMMENT_CUSTOM_LINKS            # optional, override the links in the bot comment. Use {{ addChangesetUrl }} placeholder for the dynamic URL to add a changeset
GITLAB_ADD_CHANGESET_MESSAGE           # optional, default commit message for adding changesets on GitLab Web UI
DEBUG_GITLAB_CREDENTIAL                # optional, whether to log the remote URL with the token visible

Example workflow

Without publishing

Create a file at .gitlab-ci.yml with the following content.

stages:
  - comment
  - release

comment:
  image: node:lts-alpine
  stage: comment
  before_script: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"
  script: pnpm changesets-gitlab comment

release:
  image: node:lts-alpine
  stage: release
  before_script: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
  script: pnpm changesets-gitlab

With publishing

You'll need an npm token that can publish the packages in the repo and doesn't have 2FA on publish enabled (2FA on auth can be enabled). Add it as a CI/CD variable with the name NPM_TOKEN.

stages:
  - comment
  - release

comment:
  image: node:lts-alpine
  stage: comment
  before_script: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"
  script: pnpm changesets-gitlab comment

release:
  image: node:lts-alpine
  stage: release
  before_script: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
  script: pnpm changesets-gitlab
  variables:
    INPUT_PUBLISH: pnpm release

By default, the CLI creates a ~/.npmrc file with the NPM_TOKEN interpolated as the auth token for registry.npmjs.org. If a .npmrc file already exists, it will not be overwritten. This is useful if you need to configure .npmrc yourself:

script: |
  cat << EOF > "$HOME/.npmrc"
    email=my@email.com
    //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NPM_TOKEN
  EOF

With version script

If you need to add additional logic to the version command, you can use a version script.

When the version script is present, the CLI will run that script instead of changeset version, so make sure your script calls changeset version at some point. All changes made by the script will be included in the MR.

stages:
  - comment
  - release

comment:
  image: node:lts-alpine
  stage: comment
  before_script: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"
  script: pnpm changesets-gitlab comment

release:
  image: node:lts-alpine
  stage: release
  before_script: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
  script: pnpm changesets-gitlab
  variables:
    INPUT_VERSION: pnpm version-packages
