Configure GitLab CI

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/

Write .gitlab-ci.yml file

Now we need to create the .gitlab-ci.yml file in the root of the project:

.gitlab-ci.yml

image: node-protractor:latest

cache:
  untracked: true
  key: "$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME"
  paths:
    - node_modules/

before_script:
    - npm install

unit_tests:
  script:
    - npm run test-ci

e2e_tests:
  before_script:
    - npm run http-server-ci
  script:
    - npm run protractor-ci

It will use node-protractor:latest docker image to run tests. We enable caching of node_modules folder to avoid reinstalling modules between tests executions. In this configuration we create two tasks unit_tests and e2e_tests that will be run separately.
