How to run a build, when there is merge request from feature to master branch in GitLab before accepting the merge request

I have a created a Jenkins pipeline job and also added the webhook for the piepline in GitLab for the merge events and for the merge request my pipeline is executing.

But I am not able to get after raising the merge request, how can I test the requested merge code before accepting the merge request. (Can I create some temporary branch from gitlabTargetBranch? is it possible)

I am using the two variables gitlabSourceBranch and gitlabTargetBranch in the checkout stage.

Can anyone please suggest what should be added in checkout stage for the above?

Thanks!

One alternative would be to use a "gate" repo, a GitLab repo (fork of your first one) where your PR applies, and you run your test after accepting that PR.

If those tests pass, then that would trigger a new PR to the final actual target repo, which can then be automatically accepted.
That way, that final PR has been tested before being accepted.
