Sync-Kiwi-Gitlab-issues

Code for the YouTube video https://youtu.be/DjnyrirGTng

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have Docker installed I'm using actual Docker-ce for this video, not Podman see this guide for RHEL https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/rhel/ Reason I'm also using RHEL and Docker is for compatibility reasons, when creating a video for demo want to have not too much issues for the installation so I can really focus on the subject matter.

KIWI TCMS

• Install Kiwi through script kiwi.sh sudo ./kiwi.sh
• After it has completed add your required config (Test Plan, Product, version etc and Test Case) in there.
• Note: I do change the ports of Kiwi because of the port conflicts (80/443 is also being used by Gitlab).
• After Kiwi has been installed and is running, stop the Containers using /usr/local/bin/docker-compose down
• Change the ports in de docker-compose.yml file and up the containers again /usr/local/bin/docker-compose up -d

Gitlab EE

sudo dnf install -y curl policycoreutils openssh-server perl
sudo systemctl start sshd --now

• Note: only needed if you want to use firewall, generally a GOOD practice but for this throw away demo environment, didn't even bother. Check if opening the firewall is needed with: sudo systemctl status firewalld

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
sudo systemctl reload firewalld

curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

• Note: you need to adjust host or ip below to match your own value. ``sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://" dnf install -y gitlab-ee```
• Beware that it could take some time for this to complete...
• To get the initial root password cat /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password
• Open browser (in my case it was http... but could be different for you if you use https) to the IP of the machine and login with root and password
• Create project and setup API Token for that project

Configuration of Kiwi

• Like described in the video, use the following parameters when filling the form:
  • base_url: URL to a GitLab repository for which we're going to report issues. For example http://192.168.1.10/root/my-awesome-project
  • api_url: URL to a GitLab instance. For example http://192.168.1.10
  • api_password: GitLab API token with the api scope. See https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens

Now create new testrun and sync some issues!
