I can not add any credential, even i have already added the new one, it doesn't appear on droplist. How to fix it?

[@rssaini01]

What you done to publish a pipeline status to the gitlab commit or branch?

[@AbhijeetWaghmare9]

Thanks for this video just one question can this work fine when I want to merge my changes into another branch instead main/master branch of gitlab. If yes how can we do that?

[@user-qk1xy7pu3d]

Yes, it will work for any branch which contains Jenkinsfile. It's completely up to you how you do merge on GitLab side, plugin works for any MR and any branch.

[@user-zo4ep5th4e]

Anybody encounred an issue where multibranch not clones the repo but just obtains the Jenkinsfile ?

[@ashish9030]

hi,
I need to download artifacts in gitlab workspace once the Jenkin job is completed. I am using sleep as delay after my curl build command to wait for the build to be complated as of now, but I want to make it dynamic. Could anyone suggest me how do i do that?

[@gzdaniel1969]

Why `When { branch 'MR-*' }` work for merge request from fix-123 to main? There is no branch name of 'MR-*' there.

[@gzdaniel1969]

After MR is created, Jenkins uses a branch named MR-* to build the project.

[@jteasler]

I don't have anything in secret token? Is that a different video?

[@raghupathym25]

How to trigger gitlab pipeline when commit to other branches except develop and master, also while merge to master branch?
The below code is not working
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH != “master”
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH != “develop”
- if: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == “master"
