IRIS code and GitLab CICD Pipeline

You might use a GitLab webhook to do this. The first step would be to create an endpoint on your IRIS environments that can be called over HTTP to run the Pull method of the git-source-control API. That will deploy a change by running "git pull" and loading the changed files into IRIS. A simple way to do that is by creating a new web application with a REST handler like this:

Class MyApp.PullHandler Extends %CSP.REST
{
ClassMethod Pull()
{
    do ##class(SourceControl.Git.API).Pull()
}
XData UrlMap
{
<Routes>
<Route Url="/pull" Method="POST" Call="Pull"/>
</Routes>
}

You will also need to make sure that this endpoint is network accessible to your GitLab environment, and authenticated according to your security requirements.

The second step would be to configure a GitLab webhook to call this endpoint on the event of a PR being merged. Here is some documentation from GitLab about how to do that: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/webhooks.html

Hi Adam,

Consider setting up a rule in your pipeline, so that it only executes if you merge to a particular branch.  I know your use case seems to be "PR approval" not merge, but the below rule will only execute on merges to main.

There are other free variables in the pipeline to maybe accomplish what you want.
 

  rules:
    - if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" && $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME == "main"'`
