Enhance support of GitLab CI/CD components

[Cquad]

Tell us more.

Since this Pull Request GitLab CI/CD component has been updated to switch from an hard-coded registry url to a GitLab instance variable.

See official documentation about GitLab CI/CD component : https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/components/index.html#use-a-component

Using $CI_SERVER_FQDN in component isn't compatible with renovate.

You can find a project example with an outdated component : https://gitlab.com/cedric3.olivier/renovate-cicd-components-4/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml

As you can see in component documentation, it's recommended to use $CI_SERVER_FQDN : https://gitlab.com/explore/catalog/gitlab-org/components/danger-review

When running renovate on this project, CI_SERVER_FQDN is not evaluated if renovate.json doesn't have registryAliases section

Use registryAliases

[Cquad]

Thanks a lot for this tip.

I set this configuration in my sample : https://gitlab.com/cedric3.olivier/renovate-gitlab-component/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml#L7-15

This value seems to be great for renovate : https://gitlab.com/cedric3.olivier/renovate-gitlab-component/-/jobs/7625315781#L52

But as you can see, renovate keep variable name in get url : https://gitlab.com/cedric3.olivier/renovate-gitlab-component/-/jobs/7625315781#L273

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this. Discussions without reproductions are less likely to be converted to Issues.

Please follow these steps:

1. Read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.
2. Go to our minimal reproduction template repository.
3. Select the Use this template button to create a new repository based on the template.
4. Work on the minimal reproduction in your own repository.
5. Fill out the information in your repository's README.md.
6. Add the link to your reproduction to the first post of your Discussion. If you are not the original author, you can post a new comment with the link.

Good luck,

The Renovate team

First post updated with a link to a reproduction repo.

Is this minimal reproduction ok ?

[rarkins]

No, the minimal repo needs to be the one you run renovate on. Your description mentions another repo

[Cquad]

Thanks for the feedback. I updated the first post to link only to one repo.

Doing this, I validated that registryAliases do the job when it is defined in renovate.json file in repo you run renovate on.

This configuration need to be global in my case, so I want to set this on cli side. I must have missed something, because it doesn't work for me with RENOVATE_REGISTRY_ALIASES variable on cli side.

[rarkins]

Try adding it to a config.js global config file

[Cquad]

Thanks for your guidance, I found my error.

In RENOVATE_REGISTRY_ALIASES variable, I scoped on gitlabci manager.
generated config look like :

         "registryAliases": {
           "gitlabci": {"registryAliases": {"$CI_SERVER_FQDN": "gitlab.com"}}
         },

which is invalid.

By setting registryAliases global and not only for gitlabci manager:
RENOVATE_REGISTRY_ALIASES="{ \"$CI_SERVER_FQDN\": \"gitlab.com\" }"

It's OK
