Montara CI is a GitHub Action that allows you to execute a pipeline test run in Montara before merging a pull request. If the pipeline fails, the pull request can not be merged.

• Create a Montara account

• Connect Montara to your data warehouse (see Docs).

• Connect Montara to your git repo in the Montara settings page (see Docs).

• Montara CI triggers a test run via a webhook. Copy the webhook URL from the pipeline settings page in Montara.

• Create a ci.yml file in your .github/workflows directory with the following content:

• [Recommended] Add a required status check in your repo settings to ensure that the pipeline runs successfully before merging a PR.

• [Recommended] The test run will run on an isolated schema according to the user who created the PR. You can also specify a fallback schema to override this behavior if the PR is created outside of Montara.

• [Optional] You can pass variables to the test run by setting the variables parameter to a JSON object of key-value pairs. for example:

  variables: '{"var1": "value1", "var2": "value2"}'

• [Optional] The test run by default will run a Montara smart run. You can disable this by setting the isSmartRun parameter to false.

• [Optional] You can choose to run the montara pipline with full refreshby setting the fullRefresh parameter to true.

• [Optional] The test run by default will run in parallel to any pipelines that might run at the same time. You can disable this by setting the allowConcurrentPipelineRuns parameter to false.
