<p align="center" width="100%">

</p>
## Disclaimer
This is an independent project and not an official GitLab product.
It is intended to be used alongside `yaml-language-server` (yamlls), providing specialized support for GitLab CI files without replacing yamlls.
## Features
- **Go To Definition**: Navigate to definitions of `jobs`, `includes`, `variables`,
`needs`, `extends`, `components`, `stages` and `variables`.
- **Find References**: Find all usages of `jobs`, `extends` and `stages`.
- **Autocompletion**: Suggestions for `extends`, `stages`, `needs`, `variables`, `included projects files` and `components`.
- **Hover Information**: View documentation for job with merged definitions.
- **Diagnostics**: Identifies issues with `extends` references, `stage` definitions, `job needs` usage and `components`.
- **Rename**: Supports job renaming.
It also supports jump to included files. In case it is a remote file it tries to downloading using
current workspace git setup and caches it locally.

## Configuration
Initialization options:
- **cache**: location for cached remote files
- **log_path**: location for LS log
## Installation
1. **GitHub Releases**: Download from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/alesbrelih/gitlab-ci-ls/releases).
2. **Homebrew (macOS)**: `brew install alesbrelih/gitlab-ci-ls/gitlab-ci-ls`
3. **Cargo (Rust Package Manager)**: `cargo install gitlab-ci-ls`
4. **Mason (neovim)**: [Github](https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim)
## Build from source
```sh
cargo build --release
```
Executable can then be found at _target/release/gitlab-ci-ls_
## Integration with Neovim
Easiest way to use this using neovim is to install it using [mason](https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim) with combination of [mason-lspconfig](https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim).
**Important**: To use it now you will have to set correct file type. Before it was attached on
`yaml` file types, but I have decided that it brings too much confusion.
Example how to add it:
```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufRead", "BufNewFile" }, {
pattern = "*.gitlab-ci*.{yml,yaml}",
callback = function()
vim.bo.filetype = "yaml.gitlab"
end,
})
```
## Integration with VSCode
Extension can be found [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alesbrelih.gitlab-ci-ls).
This extension supports configuration which needs to be set up because _gitlab-ci-ls_
itself isn't installed along with the extension but it needs to be downloaded from
releases, brew or built from source.

## Emacs lsp-mode configuration
To use `gitlab-ci-ls` with Emacs `lsp-mode`, reference the below sample
configuration.
```emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration '("\\.gitlab-ci\\.yml$" . "gitlabci"))
(add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration '("/ci-templates/.*\\.yml$" . "gitlabci"))
(lsp-register-custom-settings
'(("gitlabci.cache" "/path/where/remote/folders/will/be/cached")
("gitlabci.log_path" "/tmp/gitlab-ci-ls.log")))
(lsp-register-client
(make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection '("gitlab-ci-ls"))
:activation-fn (lsp-activate-on "gitlabci")
:server-id 'gitlabci
:priority 10
:initialization-options (lambda () (gethash "gitlabci" (lsp-configuration-section "gitlabci")))))
```
## TODO
- [ ] Smarter way to initialize, it should support root_dir equal to nil and once file is opened it should receive/calculate new root.
- [x] Fix VSCode completion. It seems it also needs a range to correctly update text.
- [x] Rename to gitlab-ci-ls.
- [x] References for stages
- [ ] Variables can be set in matrixes as well, this is relevant for go to definition on variable.
- [x] Support !reference
- [x] Handle default keyword
- [x] Handle components
- [x] Push diagnostics, instead of pull based
