Codemagic is not sending "RUNNING" status to Gitlab

[PawlikMichal25]

Use case

Codemagic is correctly sending other statuses for pipeline updates like "SUCCESS", "FAILED" or even "CANCELED", but it is not sending update for "RUNNING" - when the pipeline starts.

This a problem, because without it we cannot use "Merge automatically when pipeline succeeds" on Gitlab. It's also confusing because we're unsure if the pipeline even started while on Gitlab.

Idea

Well, add it :)  
Considering you already have working implementation for other statuses, adding this one should be relatively easy.

Thanks for the idea @PawlikMichal25 I’ll discuss this with the team and we’ll see what we can do.

Just from completeness, are there also other statuses in gitlab that you use and would benefit from or is it currently only the ‘running’ status which you miss in your normal usage?

[PawlikMichal25]

For completeness also pending could be added, so that we get the status on Gitlab immediately (when pipeline is pending on Codemagic)

We're also facing this issue :/

Any updates ?

[PatrykMatwijczuk]

We're dealing with this issue too. Any updates about it would be awesome.

It would be great to have these statuses: running, pending 👍

We now send running status to GitLab when a build starts. Thanks for bringing it up!
