saucectl with GitLab

These examples can apply to virtually any GitLab deployment, provided that you already have some existing automated tests, and are either the maintainer or an admin of the target repository.

What You'll Need

• A Sauce Labs account (Log in or sign up for a free trial license)
• Your Sauce Labs Username and Access Key
• GitLab Account and Instance
• The following permissions in GitLab:
  • Ability to manage GitLab repository containing the project

Configure GitLab Credentials

The first step of the integration is to ensure you've added your SAUCE_USERNAME and SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY as a secret in your GitLab instance.

The easiest way to add credentials to GitLab is with the UI:

1. Log in to GitLab.

2. Go to your repository.

3. In the left column, select Settings, then CI/CD.

   

4. Look for Variables and click on Expand.

   

5. Click on Add Variable to create a new secret.

6. Enter the following information:

   • Key: SAUCE_USERNAME

   • Value: 'your-sauce-username'

   • Type: 'Variable'

   • Environment Scope: All

     

7. Repeat the process for your Sauce Labs Access Key.

Credentials are now set!

1. In the root of your project directory, create the .gitlab-ci.yml file. Below are some job snippets of how to configure saucectl with GitLab-CI:
