Gitpod internal configuration

Settings

The settings for gitlab-org/gitlab are defined under a project's settings in a Gitpod dashboard. To view the settings, you must first join the gitlab-org team on Gitpod.io. You can join the team using the bookmark link at the top of #gitpod-gdk internal Slack channel.

The current settings are:

  • Enable Incremental Prebuilds: Uses an earlier successful prebuild to create new prebuilds faster.
  • Use Last Successful Prebuild: Skips waiting for prebuilds currently in progress and uses the last successful prebuild from previous commits on the same branch.

Webhooks

A webhook that starts with https://gitpod.io/ is created to enable prebuilds (see Enabling Prebuilds for more details). The webhook is maintained by an Engineering Productivity team.

You can find this webhook in Webhook Settings in gitlab-org/gitlab. If you cannot access this setting, please chat to the Engineering Productivity team.

Troubleshooting a failed webhook

If a webhook failed to connect for a long time, then it may have been disabled in the project.

To re-enable a failing or failed webhook, send a test request in Webhook Settings. See Re-enable disabled webhooks page for more details.

After re-enabling, check the prebuilds' health in a project's prebuilds and confirm that prebuilds start without any errors.
