gitlab-ci and yarn

For my previous post, on gitlab-ci and codeception, I created a small project on gitlab that runs selenium webtests during gitlab-ci. The project being tested is just a small vue.js-application.

Recently I rewrote that small application; now it uses a single file vue component. I'm not completely sure what I've done, but it seems to work, and it involves webpack encore and yarn.

Now the challenge was to run yarn from gitlab-ci. I was looking for a docker container with yarn (even tried to build one myself), but it took me some time before I discovered that yarn is included in the node-container.

So I now use this node container in an extra task of the build stage in my .gitlab-ci.yaml. I create an artifact with the generated javascript, which is used in the test stage. That seems to work.

As I said before, I am new to vue, and it's the first time I use yarn and webpack. So maybe I am making some obvious mistakes. Please let me know if there are things that can be done in a better way.
