requested review from @matt.vasquez

@matt.vasquez further troubleshooting and discussion with @jimmy.bourque reveals test.sh to be unnecessary in verifying operation of Gitlab. Inability to create repo with good front end is a permission issue if front end is up.

@alfredodiaz53 I don't know if it's 100% necessary to completely remove the script, we just want to make sure what its doing is a valid thing to test post deployment. The main goal of this issue was to remove the dependency between the Cypress tests and the scripted tests. For example, the scripted test is reusing a gitlab project that was created by the Cypress test which makes it impossible to clean up the project that was created within the Cypress test without causing the scripted test to fail. If a lot of people are using the builtin registries in Gitlab then the scripted test may very well be valid.

Also, it looks like you've committed a few files that are not necessary under that Cypress section.

I can pick this one up soon — Alfredo and I have been discussing it a bit and I think I know where to take it. I've been digging on some cohort tickets but I can be done with those today or tomorrow.

Couple concerns with this MR..

• How are we validating gitlab functionality if we're removing the script test?
• why are we adding these extra cypress files?
• looks like the previous Changelog entries were overwritten?
