Build triggers provide a way to interact with the GitLab CI. Using a trigger a user or an application can run a new build for a specific commit.

• Object class: :class:`~gitlab.objects.ProjectTrigger`
• Manager objects: :attr:`gitlab.Gitlab.project_triggers`, :attr:`Project.triggers <gitlab.objects.Project.triggers>`

List triggers:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # trigger list
   :end-before: # end trigger list

Get a trigger:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # trigger get
   :end-before: # end trigger get

Create a trigger:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # trigger create
   :end-before: # end trigger create

Remove a trigger:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # trigger delete
   :end-before: # end trigger delete

You can associate variables to builds to modify the build script behavior.

• Object class: :class:`~gitlab.objects.ProjectVariable`
• Manager objects: :attr:`gitlab.Gitlab.project_variables`, :attr:`gitlab.objects.Project.variables`

List variables:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # var list
   :end-before: # end var list

Get a variable:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # var get
   :end-before: # end var get

Create a variable:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # var create
   :end-before: # end var create

Update a variable value:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # var update
   :end-before: # end var update

Remove a variable:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # var delete
   :end-before: # end var delete

Builds are associated to projects and commits. They provide information on the build that have been run, and methods to manipulate those builds.

• Object class: :class:`~gitlab.objects.ProjectBuild`
• Manager objects: :attr:`gitlab.Gitlab.project_builds`, :attr:`gitlab.objects.Project.builds`

Build are usually automatically triggered, but you can explicitly trigger a new build:

Trigger a new build on a project:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # trigger run
   :end-before: # end trigger run

List builds for the project:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # list
   :end-before: # end list

To list builds for a specific commit, create a :class:`~gitlab.objects.ProjectCommit` object and use its :attr:`~gitlab.objects.ProjectCommit.builds` method:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # commit list
   :end-before: # end commit list

Get a build:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # get
   :end-before: # end get

Get a build artifacts:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # artifacts
   :end-before: # end artifacts

You can download artifacts as a stream. Provide a callable to handle the stream:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # stream artifacts
   :end-before: # end stream artifacts

Mark a build artifact as kept when expiration is set:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # keep artifacts
   :end-before: # end keep artifacts

Get a build trace:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # trace
   :end-before: # end trace

Cancel/retry a build:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # retry
   :end-before: # end retry

Play (trigger) a build:

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # play
   :end-before: # end play

Erase a build (artifacts and trace):

.. literalinclude:: builds.py
   :start-after: # erase
   :end-before: # end erase
