Synopsis

Report a Gitlab merge request attestation to an artifact or a trail in a Kosli flow.
It checks if a merge request exists for a given merge commit and reports the merge request attestation to Kosli.
The attestation can be bound to a trail using the trail name. The attestation can be bound to an artifact in two ways:
  • using the artifact’s SHA256 fingerprint which is calculated (based on the --artifact-type flag and the artifact name/path argument) or can be provided directly (with the --fingerprint flag).
  • using the artifact’s name in the flow yaml template and the git commit from which the artifact is/will be created. Useful when reporting an attestation before creating/reporting the artifact.
To specify paths in a directory artifact that should always be excluded from the SHA256 calculation, you can add a .kosli_ignore file to the root of the artifact. Each line should specify a relative path or path glob to be ignored. You can include comments in this file, using #. The .kosli_ignore file is always treated as part of the artifact: its own entries cannot exclude it, so the exclusion list cannot be changed without changing the fingerprint. Paths the list already matches stay excluded whatever is later added there, so keep its entries as narrow as possible. Excluding the file with --exclude keeps it out of the fingerprint but still applies the paths it lists, which lets a writable directory change the list again. To drop the file from the fingerprint safely, move its entries to --exclude and delete it.
