Unfortunatelly YAML-anchors or GitLab-CI's extends
don't seem to allow to combine things in script
array of commands as of today.
I use built-in variable CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
in combination with global or job-only before_script
to solve similar tasks without repeating myself.
Here is an example of my workaround on how to set environment variable to different values dynamically for PROD and DEV during delivery or deployment:
.provide ssh private deploy key: &provide_ssh_private_deploy_key
before_script:
- mkdir -p ~/.ssh
- chmod 700 ~/.ssh
- echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config
- |
if [ "$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" == "master" ]; then
echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_DEPLOY_KEY_PROD" > ~/.ssh/id_rsa
MY_DYNAMIC_VAR="we are in master (PROD)"
else
echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_DEPLOY_KEY_DEV" > ~/.ssh/id_rsa
MY_DYNAMIC_VAR="we are NOT in master (DEV)"
fi
- chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
deliver-via-ssh:
stage: deliver
<<: *provide_ssh_private_deploy_key
script:
- echo Stage is deliver
- echo $MY_DYNAMIC_VAR
- ssh ...
Also consider this workaround for concatenation of "script" commands: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57209078/470108
hopefully it helps.
