Hello,
I have an issue with variables in the rules:if declaration. Here is a piece of my CI code:
.execute on specific branch: &execute_on_specific_branch_rules
rules:
- if: ‘($CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $GIT_BRANCH) && $TARGET_PATH’deploy to staging:
<<: *set_stage
environment:
name: staging
variables:
GIT_BRANCH: staging
TARGET_PATH: $STAGING_PATH
<<: *execute_on_specific_branch_rules
script:
- *deploy_procedure_scriptsdeploy to production:
<<: *set_stage
environment:
name: production
variables:
GIT_BRANCH: master
TARGET_PATH: $PRODUCTION_PATH
<<: *execute_on_specific_branch_rules
script:
- *deploy_procedure_scripts
Please pay attention to $TARGET_PATH. It always returns “true” in the if statement because it’s assigned from another variable ($STAGING_PATH or $PRODUCTION_PATH). I just want to make sure $TARGET_PATH exists and is not empty in order to create a pipeline/job.
If I do this, it works perfectly:
deploy to staging:
<<: *set_stage
environment:
name: staging
variables:
GIT_BRANCH: staging
TARGET_PATH: $STAGING_PATH
rules:
- if: ‘($CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $GIT_BRANCH) && $STAGING_PATH’
script:
- *deploy_procedure_scriptsdeploy to production:
<<: *set_stage
environment:
name: production
variables:
GIT_BRANCH: master
TARGET_PATH: $PRODUCTION_PATH
rules:
- if: ‘($CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $GIT_BRANCH) && $PRODUCTION_PATH’
script:
- *deploy_procedure_scripts
How can I make this work without code duplication? This looks like a bug with the revealing of variables.
