Your project service will do a (JSON) query to a URL of the CI tool with the SHA1 of the commit.
3.
The project service builds this URL and payload based on project service settings and knowledge of the CI tool.
4.
The response is parsed to give a response in GitLab (success/failed/pending).
## Troubleshooting
### Error in merge requests - "Could not connect to the CI server"
This integration relies on Jenkins reporting the build status back to GitLab via
the
[
Commit Status API
](
../api/commits.md#commit-status
)
.
The error 'Could not connect to the CI server' usually means that GitLab did not
receive a build status update via the API. Either Jenkins was not properly
configured or there was an error reporting the status via the API.
