Validating Gitlab CI in Neovim

I really enjoyed using nvim-jenkinsfile-linter when I was writing Jenkinsfiles. Simple yet useful, this plugin helped to speed up writing Jenkins pipelines as I didn’t have to to Jenkins Web UI to check if my pipeline is correct.

Now I’m writing Gitlab CI, and I couldn’t find any plugin with such functionality for Gitlab. One way was to install Gitlab CLI and use it to validate the pipeline. However, for me this was unconvenient.

So I’ve created a small Neovim plugin to validate Gitlab CI: validate-gitlab-ci

As /CI/lint endpoint is deprecated in Gitlab 16.0 this plugin uses /projects/:id/ci/lint to validate the pipeline.

If you’re using Neovim and writing Gitlab pipelines, check it out and maybe you can find it useful.
