Thanks. By the way, one of my main problems in GitLab is using review apps/environments: we are not able to set the environment URL based on the result of a CI stage / script (the GitLab environment URLs can only include the ref name variable and maybe one or two other things, but are otherwise static). But Platform.sh environment URLs are very dynamic.

@pjcdawkins would it be possible to set the URL of the environment in the MR through the Gitlab API? I think this would work in theory, but I'm not sure how the setup of this would look like

Sadly I don't think GitLab provides that API.

GitLab allows the URL to contain variables (other than those defined in the script itself), so on most projects I've been using:

  environment:
    url: https://console.platform.sh/projects/$PF_PROJECT_ID/$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG

That will get you (via a redirect) to the Console page for that environment, and then you can access the other URLs.

I'll update the scripts above with that.

@pjcdawkins, thanks! that's actually a pretty nice solution since you can have more than 1 url, especially for multi-app projects.

As for the Gitlab API, I think it's possible (although not very pretty), as discussed here https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/27424

Ah, that issue was moved to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/17066 and it looks like they're willing to work on a simpler solution

That's now available in GitLab (since version 12.9), so I've updated the gist to set the environment URL dynamically.
