run command after deploy using Gitlab CI/CD

I'm setting up Gitlab CI/CD to automate deployment to heroku app with every push.

currently my .gitlab-ci.yml file looks like

production:
  type: deploy
  script:
  - apt-get update -qy
  - apt-get install -y ruby-dev
  - gem install dpl
  - dpl --provider=heroku --app=koober-production --api-key=$HEROKU_PRODUCTION_API_KEY
  only:
  - master

This works fine and deployment is successful and application is working.

But, I need to run few commands after successful deployment to migrate database.

At present, I need to do this manually by running command from terminal 

heroku run python manage.py migrate -a myapp

How can I automate this to run this command after deployment?

Solution

  • Solved using --run flag to run command using dpl

    stages:
  - deploy

production:
  stage: deploy
  script:
  - apt-get update -qy
  - apt-get install -y ruby-dev
  - gem install dpl
  - dpl --provider=heroku --app=koober-production --api-key=$HEROKU_PRODUCTION_API_KEY --run='python manage.py migrate && python manage.py create_initial_users'
  only:
  - master
