How to make Gitlab CI interpret the "gitlab" output format of Spectral CLI ?

[pidj]

Hi folks,
I have a question, for whoever would have the answer and be kind enough to reply :-)

I use the Spectral CLI to lint OpenAPI/AsyncAPI files. In the available output formats, one of them is "gitlab", which generates a report in JSON. Given the name of that formatter, I expect it's meant at being interpreted by Gitlab CI/CD in some way (e.g. for a MR report), but I can't figure out how.
My first guess was to feed this as a "report artifact" of a Gitlab job, but if it's correct, which one among the list provided by Gitlab (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/artifacts_reports.html) ?

Thank you in advance if anyone of you know what to do with this JSON output of the "gitlab" formatter ! :-)

The PR that add this functionality was focused around Code Climate.

@smsalisbury can you comment if the format will work more generally within GitLab CI or if it's limited to codeclimate type reports?

Yes, GitLab uses a subset of the CodeClimate spec for its codequality report.

Thank you ! The issue must be on my side then, I will continue to try and make it work. Sorry for bothering.
