fix: Move to gitlab.pipelinesascode.com for e2e#2492
Conversation
Move to gitlab.pipelinesascode.com for e2e testing, as gitlab.com is not working well with our e2e tests and we have seen a lot of timeouts and other issues. This should help us to have more stable e2e tests and also to have more control over the environment where we run our tests.

Code Review
This pull request updates the CI configuration to use gitlab.pipelinesascode.com for GitLab end-to-end tests. The change introduces a new environment variable, TEST_GITLAB_API_URL, in the gh-workflow-ci.sh script to specify the new test endpoint. This is a straightforward and effective way to redirect the e2e tests to a more stable, dedicated environment, as described in the pull request. The implementation is correct and I have no further comments.

Move to gitlab.pipelinesascode.com for e2e testing, as gitlab.com is not working well with our e2e tests and we have seen a lot of timeouts and other issues. This should help us to have more stable e2e tests and also to have more control over the environment where we run our tests.
