I have 2 Gitlab repos:




  1. Project A

  2. Integration tests for Project A


I want to stop the pipeline / build of Project A if the integration tests fail but currently the Project A pipeline passes even if the integration tests fail.



My .gitlab-ci.yml for Project A defines these 7 stages:



stages:
- build
- test
- publish
- dev-deployment
- staging-deployment
- trigger-integration-tests
- prod-deployment


The second last stage (trigger-integration-tests) kicks off the integration tests project by using the Gitlab API call with curl:



trigger-integration-tests:
stage: trigger-integration-tests
image: ubuntu:16.04
script:
- apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
- "curl -X POST -F token=$INTEGRATION_TESTS_TOKEN -F variables[PROJECT_ID]=$CI_PROJECT_ID -F variables[BRANCH_NAME]=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME -F ref=master https://gitlab.mycompany.com/api/v4/projects/123/trigger/pipeline"
allow_failure: false
only:
- master


I tried adding the allow_failure: false flag but that didn't help so I'm looking for more ideas.



I found the trigger-and-wait technique but wasn't sure if there's a more simple solution.
