= GitLab Templates

This repository contains miscellaneous resources that need to be accessible without authentication.

== GitLab CI templates

Two templates with default CI pipeline configurations are provided, for any repo to make use of:

- `.gitlab-industrial-ci-kinetic-no-rosinstall.yml`
- `.gitlab-industrial-ci-kinetic-with-rosinstall.yml`

Both define basically the same pipeline, consisting of the following stages and jobs:

- Stage: `precheck`
  * Check python syntax
- Stage: `build`
  * Run `industrial_ci`
    ** Uses `flexbotics-base-devel` as a starting image
    ** Runs link:scripts/ci_run_entry_points.sh[] in the `BEFORE_SCRIPT` stage, which in turn finds and runs every `ci_entry_script.bash` script found in the source tree (target repo + repos from `.rosinstall`)
  * Only when tags are pushed:
    ** Run some cleanup in the `industrial_ci` context (e.g. delete sources)
    ** Commit image used by `industrial_ci`
    ** Build deployment image on top of it and push it to our registry
- Stage: `postcheck` (jobs in this stage are allowed to fail)
  * Check `bash`/`sh` script syntax
  * Check Markdown syntax
  * Check files have no trailing whitespace and are UTF-8 encoded

It is important to note that both images set the variable `GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE`, which means that when the repositories are cloned/fetched, the files hosted using Git LFS will not be downloaded. An example on how to explicitely fetch the files from LFS can be found in the https://git.code.tecnalia.com/tecnalia_robotics/common_config/blob/e93dbe6379d94e6a895a33c59bf17ccab26eacf9/.gitlab-ci.yml#L132[common_config repository].

== Custom `rosdep` definitions

Custom `rosdep` definitions for the packages hosted in our internal debian repository are declared in link:rosdistro/rosdep_tecnalia.yaml[].

== Deployment image build resources

Resources required for building the deployment docker images are also hosted in this repository.
This basically boils down to:

- link:scripts/pre-deploy-cleanup.bash[] is run in the `industrial_ci` container before commiting to an image
- link:deploy/Dockerfile[] is used to perform some additional cleanup and install link:deploy/ros_entrypoint.bash[] as entrypoint script on top of the `industrial_ci` image
