I like this idea. A lot.
I don't think I'll have issues generating a key on the fly (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23640961/gitlab-api-how-to-generate-the-private-token). The issue would be finding a service like appveyor that supports docker images. I wouldn't want to restrict PSGitLab development to users who understand docker and I would like to make sure that all commits run against this sort of testing.
I recommend using Travis CI. That service allows using docker see here.
I recommend that we first wait until PowerShell 6 is released. It supports also Linux...
I got to use Travis CI lately for some Ansible roles I've built. Pretty slick. I was able to get the latest version of PowerShell installed on Ubuntu Trusty using the following .travis.yml file.
I've been looking into this issue further and currently have a roadblock. GitLab no longer comes configured with a default username and password. I need a way to set credentials on a brand new instance. Once that is done I think I'm close.
useful snippet
$URI = 'http://10.5.116.121:10080//api/v4/session?login=root&password=Pass1word!'
$Body = @{
login='root'
password='Pass1word'
email='fake@email.com'
}
$Session = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $URI -Method Post
$Headers = @{
'PRIVATE-TOKEN'= $($Session.private_token)
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'http://10.5.116.121:10080/api/v4/projects' -Headers $Headers
Building on GitLab and using GitLab CI also lets you use docker images, fwiw.
@TerrapinStation asked offline if he could contribute to this and I say I'm all for it. Here is my to-do list.
Please track all work against the travis branch as that is where I'm keeping the work. Until it is ready for production.
It would be really nice to have automated unit testing.
That could be realised with a gitlab docker image and a continuous integration tool into this repo.
The idea behind that is to avoid bugs like #85
