GitLab Setup

This example demonstrates integration with GitLab to automatically comment on the GitLab issue with code review findings.

GitLab command configuration

Open GitLab and create a Project Access Token under “Settings / Access Tokens” in the GitLab repository that you will use for this integration.

Copy and store the Access Token value to be used in the next steps.

Use following details:

export GITLAB_REPOSITORY="USERID/REPOSITORY"

Set rest of the environment variables:

export GITLAB_URL="https://gitlab.com"
export GITLAB_BRANCH="devai"
export GITLAB_BASE_BRANCH="main"

Open the GitLab website and create a new GitLab issue in your project with the title CICD AI Insights.

Open review.py file:

~/genai-for-developers/devai-cli/src/devai/commands/review.py

Find and uncomment lines below

Line to import GitLab command

# from devai.commands.gitlab import create_gitlab_issue_comment

Method to comment on GitLab issue in the @click.command(name='code')

Re-run code review command:

export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project)
export LOCATION=us-central1

devai review code -c ~/genai-for-developers/sample-app/src/main/java/anthos/samples/bankofanthos/balancereader
