Hey! These docs are for version 1, which is no longer officially supported. Click here for the latest version, 2-web!


_This doc will walk you through implementing Percy into your GitLab CI environment. See separate docs to integrate with [GitLab.com](🔗)._

Percy is designed to integrate with your tests and CI environment. To enable Percy, the token environment variable must be configured in your CI service:

  • `PERCY_TOKEN`: The Percy repo write-only API token. This is unique for each Percy repository.

# GitLab pipeline setup




GitLab provides an easy way to set environment variables in your build pipeline config or agent hooks. Shown below is a minimal CI config that has the necessary variables to make Percy work smoothly:



To configure environment variables, navigate to your GitLab repository, then go to Settings > CI/CD > and then expand the Variables section.

Then set `PERCY_TOKEN` to the write-only token from your Percy repo. This token can be found in each Percy repo's settings.

**IMPORTANT: Keep your Percy token secret.** Anyone with access to your token can consume your account quota, though they cannot read data.

# Next step: integrate with tests




You're done with setup---the last step is to integrate Percy into your tests and run them. Just choose your client library:
