Continuous Deployment of a Node.js app to Heroku using GitLab

问题

There are tutorials covering the deployment of Ruby and Python apps but I can't find good documentation or examples for NodeJS.

http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/examples/test-and-deploy-python-application-to-heroku.html

http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/examples/test-and-deploy-ruby-application-to-heroku.html

Does anyone have a .gitlab-ci.yml to share?

回答1:

I have found a detailed article for continuous integration on Heroku:

Sample .gitlab-ci.yml file :

 npm init -y
 npm i  #install dependencies

add the following lines in package.json

    "engines": {
        "node": "8.12.0",  //node version
        "npm": "6.4.1"     //npm version
    },
