Integrate Qlik Cli with Gitlab CI

Hi Qlik Community, #QlikCli

I was wondering if anyone has integrated Qlik Cli with Gitlab CI.

I have integrated Qlik CLI with Gitlab CI and have met with several problems. One is that I am unable to import app using

qlik app import -f app.qvf

The error seem to be that in gitlab ci, the content-length is not being updated.

They both runs on the same network with same file system rights. As you can see below, the difference between the request in Gitlab and local is the content-length.

Result from GitLab Ci
