Gitlab error "codequality artifact not found"

Question

I have a pipeline with the code quality report (I can load and view this report):

But I see a message linked to this pipeline in the merge request

Failed to load codeclimate report

the tooltip is:

Base pipeline codequality artifact not found

When can I get the reason of it?

Answer 1

Vladimir I also ran into this problem. As it turned out, this is not a mistake. It is described in detail here. In short, in order for this widget to work, you need to launch a pipeline with a code climate job on the target branch of the request. As I understand it, this is due to the fact that the widget displays data not about the current state of the branch, but about the state of the code in comparison with the target branch.

Answer 2

This can happen when a codequality report was created in the base branch for the later commit than your branch and the base branch have in common.

Try to rebase your feature branch against the branch you are creating a merge request to, and force-push it.
