GitLab CI

Setup

1. Add Variable

Go to Settings > CI/CD > Variables and add:

• Key: PAKYAS_API_KEY
• Value: pk_live_...
• Type: Variable
• Flags: Masked (Recommended), Protected (if used on protected branches)

2. Configure .gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - build

nightly-job:
  stage: build
  script:
    # Install Pakyas (or use a docker image that has it)
    - curl -fsSL https://pakyas.com/install.sh | bash
    # Wrap your command
    - pakyas monitor nightly-build -- ./run_tests.sh
  only:
    - schedules

Using after_script

To ensure pings are sent even if the script crashes, you can use after_script, but keep in mind after_script runs in a separate shell context, so local variables won’t persist.

nightly-job:
  script:
    - pakyas ping nightly-build --start
    - ./hazardous-script.sh
  only:
    - schedules
  after_script:
    - |
      if [ "$CI_JOB_STATUS" == "success" ]; then
        pakyas ping nightly-build
      else
        pakyas ping nightly-build --fail
      fi
