GitLab integration gives Bugzy access to your repositories, enabling test generation from code changes, webhook-driven test execution, and merge request comments with test results.
What GitLab enables
- Repository access — Bugzy reads your codebase to understand application structure and generate relevant tests
- Webhook-driven execution — Push events and merge request events trigger Bugzy test runs automatically
- MR comments — Test results are posted as comments on merge requests, surfacing regressions before merge
- Branch-aware testing — Bugzy tests the exact branch and commit, not just the default branch
Setup
Navigate to connections
Go to Dashboard > Projects > [Your Project] > Connections.
Connect GitLab
Click Connect GitLab. This opens the OAuth flow managed by Nango.
Authorize access
Grant access to the GitLab groups and projects Bugzy should monitor.
Select repository
After connecting, select the repository Bugzy should work with for this project.
Webhook events
Once connected, Bugzy listens for the following GitLab webhook events:
| Event | Bugzy action |
|---|
| Push to default branch | Runs full test suite, triages any new failures |
| Merge request opened/updated | Runs tests relevant to changed files, posts results as MR comment |
| Merge request merged | Triggers post-merge verification if configured |
- Pass — All tests passed, no regressions detected
- Fail — Lists failures with classification (product bug, test issue, flaky) and links to filed issues
Permissions
Bugzy requests the following GitLab OAuth scopes:
| Scope | Purpose |
|---|
read_repository | Clone and read source code |
read_api | Access project metadata and merge request details |
api | Post merge request comments and manage webhooks |
Bugzy only accesses repositories explicitly selected during setup. It does not scan or access other projects in your GitLab group.
