Three errors so far.

1:

Lets create an default Ionic v4 starter project using the tabs layout:
ionic start –type angular myProject tabs

\ Looking up starter
[ERROR] Unable to find starter template for angular

I removed –type angular

2:

You’ll notice the npm run test command doesn’t exit, it watches for any changes and then run the tests again.

$ npm run test

myProject@0.0.1 test D:\myProject
ng test

So lets update the package.json file to add a new test script

“test-ci”: “ng test --watch=false”

This was my error but I suggest you say it has to go within the “scripts” section of the json fie.

I got as far as pushing the master into gitlab and then gave up for the night.

I am not even sure what “automated Continuous Integration and Deployment” is trying to achieve - is it overkill for a small test project?

Thanks for your feedback, I’ve made the couple of changes to the post.

If you had to write it from scratch it could be overkill for a small test project, but if its already done for you its useful for any real project.
