# GitLab CI/CD environment variables
|
|
|
|
An environment variable is a dynamically-named value that can
|
|
affect the way running processes behave on an operating
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
Environment variables are part of the environment in which a process runs.
|
|
For example, a running process can query the value of the
|
|
`TEMP` environment variable to discover a suitable location
|
|
to store temporary files, or to define a `URL` for a database
|
|
that can be reused in different scripts.
|
|
|
|
Variables are useful for customizing your jobs in GitLab CI/CD.
|
|
When you use variables, you don't have to hard-code values.

|
|
|
|
## Predefined environment variables
|
|
|
|
GitLab CI/CD has a [default set of predefined variables](predefined_variables.md)
|
|
that you can use without any additional specification.
|
|
You can call issue numbers, user names, branch names,
|
|
pipeline and commit IDs, and much more.
|
|
|
|
Predefined environment variables are provided by GitLab
|
|
for the local environment of the Runner.
|
|
|
|
GitLab reads the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file and sends the information
|
|
to the Runner, where the variables are exposed. The Runner then runs the script commands.
|
|
|
|
### Use predefined environment variables
|
|
|
|
You can choose one of the existing predefined variables
|
|
to be output by the Runner.
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to output a job's stage by using the predefined variable `CI_JOB_STAGE`.
|
|
|
|
In your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, call the variable from your script. Ensure
|
|
you use the correct [syntax](#syntax-of-environment-variables-in-job-scripts).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
test_variable:
|
|
stage: test
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo $CI_JOB_STAGE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case, the Runner outputs the `stage` for the
|
|
job `test_variable`, which is `test`:
|
|
|
|
![Output `$CI_JOB_STAGE`](img/ci_job_stage_output_example.png)
|
|
|
|
As another example, let's say you're using your own GitLab
|
|
instance and you want to know what domain your GitLab Pages are
|
|
served under. You can call it by using the predefined
|
|
variable `$CI_PAGES_DOMAIN` in your script:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
pages:
|
|
script:
|
|
- ...
|
|
- echo $CI_PAGES_DOMAIN
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For GitLab.com users, the output will be `gitlab.io`. For your
|
|
private instance, the output will be whatever your sysadmin has
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
## Custom environment variables
|
|
|
|
When you need a specific custom environment variable, you can
|
|
[set it up in the UI](#create-a-custom-variable-in-the-ui), in [the API](../../api/project_level_variables.md),
|
|
or directly [in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file](#create-a-custom-variable-in-gitlab-ciyml).
|
|
|
|
The variables are used by the Runner any time the pipeline runs.
|
|
You can also [override variable values manually for a specific pipeline](../pipelines/index.md#specifying-variables-when-running-manual-jobs).
|
|
|
|
There are two types of variables: **Variable** and **File**. You cannot set types in
|
|
the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, but you can set them in the UI and API.
|
|
|
|
### Create a custom variable in `.gitlab-ci.yml`
|
|
|
|
To create a custom `env_var` variable in the [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../yaml/README.md#variables) file,
|
|
define the variable/value pair under `variables`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
TEST: "HELLO WORLD"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then call its value in your script:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo "$TEST"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more details, see [`.gitlab-ci.yml` defined variables](#gitlab-ciyml-defined-variables).
|
|
|
|
### Create a custom variable in the UI
|
|
|
|
From within the UI, you can add or update custom environment variables:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your project's **Settings > CI/CD** and expand the **Variables** section.
|
|
1. Click the **Add Variable** button. In the **Add variable** modal, fill in the details:
|
|
|
|
- **Key**: Must be one line, with no spaces, using only letters, numbers, or `_`.
|
|
- **Value**: No limitations.
|
|
- **Type**: `File` or `Variable`.
|
|
- **Environment scope**: `All`, or specific environments.
|
|
- **Protect variable** (Optional): If selected, the variable will only be available in pipelines that run on protected branches or tags.
|
|
- **Mask variable** (Optional): If selected, the variable's **Value** will be masked in job logs. The variable fails to save if the value does not meet the [masking requirements](#masked-variable-requirements).
|
|
|
|
After a variable is created, you can update any of the details by clicking the **{pencil}** **Edit** button.
|
|
|
|
After you set a variable, call it from the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
test_variable:
|
|
stage: test
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo $CI_JOB_STAGE # calls a predefined variable
|
|
- echo $TEST # calls a custom variable of type `env_var`
|
|
- echo $GREETING # calls a custom variable of type `file` that contains the path to the temp file
|
|
- cat $GREETING # the temp file itself contains the variable value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output will be:
|
|
|
|
![Output custom variable](img/custom_variables_output.png)
|
|
|
|
### Custom environment variables of type Variable
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/46806) in GitLab 11.11.
|
|
|
|
For variables with the type **Variable**, the Runner creates an environment variable
|
|
that uses the key for the name and the value for the value.
|
|
|
|
There are [some predefined variables](#custom-variables-validated-by-gitlab) of this type,
|
|
which may be further validated. They appear when you add or update a variable in the UI.
|
|
|
|
### Custom environment variables of type File
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/46806) in GitLab 11.11.
|
|
|
|
For variables with the type **File**, the Runner creates an environment variable that uses the key for the name.
|
|
For the value, the Runner writes the variable value to a temporary file and uses this path.
|
|
|
|
You can use tools like [the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-envvars.html)
|
|
and [`kubectl`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/#the-kubeconfig-environment-variable)
|
|
to customize your configuration by using **File** type variables.
|
|
|
|
In the past, a common pattern was to read the value of a CI variable, save it in a file, and then
|
|
use the newly created file in your script:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Read certificate stored in $KUBE_CA_PEM variable and save it in a new file
|
|
echo "$KUBE_CA_PEM" > "$(pwd)/kube.ca.pem"
|
|
# Pass the newly created file to kubectl
|
|
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --server="$KUBE_URL" --certificate-authority="$(pwd)/kube.ca.pem"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of this, you can use a **File** type variable. For example, if you have the following variables:
|
|
|
|
- A variable of type **Variable**: `KUBE_URL` with the value `https://example.com`.
|
|
- A variable of type **File**: `KUBE_CA_PEM` with a certificate as the value.
|
|
|
|
You can call them from `.gitlab-ci.yml`, like this:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --server="$KUBE_URL" --certificate-authority="$KUBE_CA_PEM"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mask a custom variable
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/13784) in GitLab 11.10
|
|
|
|
Variables can be masked so that the value of the variable will be hidden in job logs.
|
|
|
|
To mask a variable:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > CI/CD**.
|
|
1. Expand the **Variables** section.
|
|
1. Next to the variable you want to protect, click **Edit**.
|
|
1. Select the **Mask variable** check box.
|
|
1. Click **Update variable**.
|
|
|
|
#### Masked variable requirements
|
|
|
|
The value of the variable must:
|
|
|
|
- Be in a single line.
|
|
- Be at least 8 characters long.
|
|
- Not be a predefined or custom environment variable.
|
|
- Consist only of characters from the Base64 alphabet (RFC4648).
|
|
[In GitLab 12.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/63043)
|
|
and newer, `@` and `:` are also valid values.
|
|
|
|
You can't mask variables that don't meet these requirements.
|
|
|
|
### Protect a custom variable
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab 9.3.
|
|
|
|
Variables can be protected. When a variable is
|
|
protected, it is securely passed to pipelines running on
|
|
[protected branches](../../user/project/protected_branches.md) or [protected tags](../../user/project/protected_tags.md) only. The other pipelines do not get
|
|
the protected variable.
|
|
|
|
To protect a variable:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > CI/CD**.
|
|
1. Expand the **Variables** section.
|
|
1. Next to the variable you want to protect, click **Edit**.
|
|
1. Select the **Protect variable** check box.
|
|
1. Click **Update variable**.
|
|
|
|
The variable is available for all subsequent pipelines. Protected variables can only
|
|
be updated or viewed by project members with [maintainer permissions](../../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions).
|
|
|
|
### Custom variables validated by GitLab
|
|
|
|
Some variables are listed in the UI so you can choose them more quickly.
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Allowed Values | Introduced in |
|
|
|-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|---------------|
|
|
| `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` | Any | 12.10 |
|
|
| `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` | Any | 12.10 |
|
|
| `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | Any | 12.10 |
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
When you store credentials, there are security implications. If you are using AWS keys,
|
|
for example, follow their [best practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-access-keys-best-practices.html).
|
|
|
|
## Syntax of environment variables in job scripts
|
|
|
|
All variables are set as environment variables in the build environment, and
|
|
they are accessible with normal methods that are used to access such variables.
|
|
In most cases `bash` or `sh` is used to execute the job script.
|
|
|
|
To access environment variables, use the syntax for your Runner's [shell](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/).
|
|
|
|
| Shell | Usage |
|
|
|----------------------|------------------------------------------|
|
|
| bash/sh | `$variable` |
|
|
| PowerShell | `$env:variable` (primary) or `$variable` |
|
|
| Windows Batch | `%variable%` |
|
|
|
|
### Bash
|
|
|
|
To access environment variables in **bash**, prefix the variable name with (`$`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo $CI_JOB_ID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### PowerShell
|
|
|
|
To access environment variables in a **Windows PowerShell** environment, prefix
|
|
the variable name with (`$env:`). For environment variables set by GitLab CI, including those set by [`variables`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/ci/yaml/README.md#variables)
|
|
parameter, they can also be accessed by prefixing the variable name with (`$`)
|
|
as of [GitLab Runner 1.0.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/commit/abc44bb158008cd3a49c0d8173717c38dadb29ae#47afd7e8f12afdb8f0246262488f24e6dd071a22).
|
|
System set environment variables however must be accessed using (`$env:`).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo $env:CI_JOB_ID
|
|
- echo $CI_JOB_ID
|
|
- echo $env:PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In [some cases](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/4115#note_157692820)
|
|
environment variables may need to be surrounded by quotes to expand properly:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
script:
|
|
- D:\\qislsf\\apache-ant-1.10.5\\bin\\ant.bat "-DsosposDailyUsr=$env:SOSPOS_DAILY_USR" portal_test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows Batch
|
|
|
|
To access environment variables in **Windows Batch**, surround the variable
|
|
with (`%`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo %CI_JOB_ID%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### List all environment variables
|
|
|
|
You can also list all environment variables with the `export` command in Bash
|
|
or `dir env:` command in PowerShell.
|
|
Be aware that this will also expose the values of all the variables
|
|
you set, in the job log:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
script:
|
|
- export
|
|
# - 'dir env:' # use this for PowerShell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example values:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|

## `.gitlab-ci.yml` defined variables
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
This feature requires GitLab Runner 0.5.0 or higher and GitLab 7.14 or higher.
|
|
|
|
You can add variables that are set in the build environment to `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
|
|
These variables are saved in the repository, and they
|
|
are meant to store non-sensitive project configuration, like `RAILS_ENV` or
|
|
`DATABASE_URL`.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you set the variable below globally (not inside a job), it will
|
|
be used in all executed commands and scripts:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
DATABASE_URL: "postgres://postgres@postgres/my_database"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The YAML-defined variables are also set to all created
|
|
[service containers](../docker/using_docker_images.md), so that you can fine
|
|
tune them.
|
|
|
|
Variables can be defined at a global level, but also at a job level. To turn off
|
|
global defined variables in your job, define an empty hash:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
variables: {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You are able to use other variables inside your variable definition (or escape them with `$$`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
LS_CMD: 'ls $FLAGS $$TMP_DIR'
|
|
FLAGS: '-al'
|
|
script:
|
|
- 'eval $LS_CMD' # will execute 'ls -al $TMP_DIR'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Group-level environment variables
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab 9.4.
|
|
|
|
You can define per-project or per-group variables
|
|
that are set in the pipeline environment. Group-level variables are stored out of
|
|
the repository (not in `.gitlab-ci.yml`) and are securely passed to GitLab Runner,
|
|
which makes them available during a pipeline run. For Premium users who do **not** use an external key store or who use GitLab's [integration with HashiCorp Vault](../examples/authenticating-with-hashicorp-vault/index.md), we recommend using group environment variables to store secrets like passwords, SSH keys, and credentials.
|
|
|
|
Group-level variables can be added by:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigating to your group's **Settings > CI/CD** page.
|
|
1. Inputting variable types, keys, and values in the **Variables** section.
|
|
Any variables of [subgroups](../../user/group/subgroups/index.md) will be inherited recursively.
|
|
|
|
Once you set them, they will be available for all subsequent pipelines. Any group-level user defined variables can be viewed in projects by:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigating to the project's **Settings > CI/CD** page.
|
|
1. Expanding the **Variables** section.
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Instance-level CI/CD environment variables
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14108) in GitLab 13.0.
|
|
|
|
Instance variables are useful for no longer needing to manually enter the same credentials repeatedly for all your projects. Instance-level variables are available to all projects and groups on the instance.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
The maximum number of instance-level variables is [planned to be 25](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216097).
|
|
|
|
You can define instance-level variables via the UI or [API](../../api/instance_level_ci_variables.md).
|
|
|
|
To add an instance-level variable:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to your admin area's **Settings > CI/CD** and expand the **Variables** section.
|
|
1. Click the **Add variable** button, and fill in the details:
|
|
|
|
- **Key**: Must be one line, using only letters, numbers, or `_` (underscore), with no spaces.
|
|
- **Value**: 700 characters allowed.
|
|
- **Type**: `File` or `Variable`.
|
|
- **Protect variable** (Optional): If selected, the variable will only be available in pipelines that run on protected branches or tags.
|
|
- **Mask variable** (Optional): If selected, the variable's **Value** will not be shown in job logs. The variable will not be saved if the value does not meet the [masking requirements](#masked-variable-requirements).
|
|
|
|
After a variable is created, you can update any of the details by clicking the **{pencil}** **Edit** button.
|
|
|
|
### Enable or disable UI interface for instance-level CI/CD variables
|
|
|
|
The UI interface for Instance-level CI/CD variables is under development but ready for production use.
|
|
It is deployed behind a feature flag that is **enabled by default**.
|
|
[GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console](../../administration/feature_flags.md) can opt to disable it for your instance.
|
|
|
|
To disable it:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Feature.disable(:instance_variables_ui)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable it:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Feature.enable(:instance_variables_ui)

## Inherit environment variables
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22638) in GitLab 13.0 behind a disabled [feature flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md): `ci_dependency_variables`.
|
|
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217834) in GitLab 13.1.
|
|
|
|
You can inherit environment variables from dependent jobs.
|
|
|
|
This feature makes use of the [`artifacts:reports:dotenv`](../pipelines/job_artifacts.md#artifactsreportsdotenv) report feature.
|
|
|
|
Example with [`dependencies`](../yaml/README.md#dependencies) keyword.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo "BUILD_VERSION=hello" >> build.env
|
|
artifacts:
|
|
reports:
|
|
dotenv: build.env
|
|
|
|
deploy:
|
|
stage: deploy
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo $BUILD_VERSION # => hello
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
- build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example with the [`needs`](../yaml/README.md#artifact-downloads-with-needs) keyword:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
build:
|
|
stage: build
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo "BUILD_VERSION=hello" >> build.env
|
|
artifacts:
|
|
reports:
|
|
dotenv: build.env
|
|
|
|
deploy:
|
|
stage: deploy
|
|
script:
|
|
- echo $BUILD_VERSION # => hello
|
|
needs:
|
|
- job: build
|
|
artifacts: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Priority of environment variables
|
|
|
|
Variables of different types can take precedence over other
|
|
variables, depending on where they are defined.
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for variables is (from highest to lowest):
|
|
|
|
1. [Trigger variables](../triggers/README.md#making-use-of-trigger-variables), [scheduled pipeline variables](../pipelines/schedules.md#using-variables),
|
|
and [manual pipeline run variables](#override-a-variable-by-manually-running-a-pipeline).
|
|
1. Project-level [variables](#custom-environment-variables) or [protected variables](#protect-a-custom-variable).
|
|
1. Group-level [variables](#group-level-environment-variables) or [protected variables](#protect-a-custom-variable).
|
|
1. [Inherited environment variables](#inherit-environment-variables).
|
|
1. YAML-defined [job-level variables](../yaml/README.md#variables).
|
|
1. YAML-defined [global variables](../yaml/README.md#variables).
|
|
1. [Deployment variables](#deployment-environment-variables).
|
|
1. [Predefined environment variables](predefined_variables.md).
|
|
|
|
For example, if you define:
|
|
|
|
- `API_TOKEN=secure` as a project variable.
|
|
- `API_TOKEN=yaml` in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
|
|
|
|
`API_TOKEN` will take the value `secure` as the project
|
|
variables take precedence over those defined in `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
|
|
|
|
## Unsupported variables
|
|
|
|
Variable names are limited by the underlying shell used to execute scripts (see [available shells](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/shells/index.html).
|
|
Each shell has its own unique set of reserved variable names.
|
|
You will also want to keep in mind the [scope of environment variables](where_variables_can_be_used.md) to ensure a variable is defined in the scope
|
|
in which you wish to use it.
|
|
|
|
## Where variables can be used
|
|
|
|
Click [here](where_variables_can_be_used.md) for a section that describes where and how the different types of variables can be used.
|
|
|
|
## Advanced use
|
|
|
|
### Limit the environment scopes of environment variables
|
|
|
|
You can limit the environment scope of a variable by
|
|
[defining which environments](../environments/index.md) it can be available for.
|
|
|
|
To learn more about scoping environments, see [Scoping environments with specs](../environments/index.md#scoping-environments-with-specs).
|
|
|
|
### Deployment environment variables
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab 8.15.
|
|
|
|
[Integrations](../../user/project/integrations/overview.md) that are
|
|
responsible for deployment configuration may define their own variables that
|
|
are set in the build environment. These variables are only defined for
|
|
[deployment jobs](../environments/index.md). Please consult the documentation of
|
|
the integrations that you are using to learn which variables they define.
|
|
|
|
An example integration that defines deployment variables is the
|
|
[Kubernetes integration](../../user/project/clusters/index.md#deployment-variables).
|
|
|
|
### Auto DevOps environment variables
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/49056) in GitLab 11.7.
|
|
|
|
You can configure [Auto DevOps](../../topics/autodevops/index.md) to
|
|
pass CI variables to the running application by prefixing the key of the
|
|
variable with `K8S_SECRET_`.
|
|
|
|
These [prefixed
|
|
variables](../../topics/autodevops/customize.md#application-secret-variables) will
|
|
then be available as environment variables on the running application
|
|
container.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: **Caution:**
|
|
Variables with multi-line values are not currently supported due to
|
|
limitations with the current Auto DevOps scripting environment.
|
|
|
|
### Override a variable by manually running a pipeline
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/44059) in GitLab 10.8.
|
|
|
|
You can override the value of a current variable by
|
|
[running a pipeline manually](../pipelines/index.md#run-a-pipeline-manually).
|
|
|
|
For instance, suppose you added a custom variable named `$TEST`
|
|
and you want to override it in a manual pipeline.
|
|
|
|
Navigate to your project's **CI/CD > Pipelines** and click **Run pipeline**.
|
|
Choose the branch you want to run the pipeline for, then add a variable and its value in the UI:
|
|
|
|
![Override variable value](img/override_variable_manual_pipeline.png)
|
|
|
|
The Runner overrides the value previously set and uses the custom
|
|
value for this specific pipeline.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Environment variables expressions
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/37397) in GitLab 10.7 for [the `only` and `except` CI keywords](../yaml/README.md#onlyexcept-advanced)
|
|
> - [Expanded](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27863) in GitLab 12.3 with [the `rules` keyword](../yaml/README.md#rules)
|
|
|
|
Use variable expressions to limit which jobs are created
|
|
within a pipeline after changes are pushed to GitLab.
|
|
|
|
In `.gitlab-ci.yml`, variable expressions work with both:
|
|
|
|
- [`rules`](../yaml/README.md#rules), which is the recommended approach, and
|
|
- [`only` and `except`](../yaml/README.md#onlyexcept-basic), which are candidates for deprecation.
|
|
|
|
This is particularly useful in combination with variables and triggered
|
|
pipeline variables.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
deploy:
|
|
script: cap staging deploy
|
|
environment: staging
|
|
only:
|
|
variables:
|
|
- $RELEASE == "staging"
|
|
- $STAGING
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each expression provided is evaluated before a pipeline is created.
|
|
|
|
If any of the conditions in `variables` evaluates to true when using `only`,
|
|
a new job is created. If any of the expressions evaluates to true
|
|
when `except` is being used, a job is not created.
|
|
|
|
This follows the usual rules for [`only` / `except` policies](../yaml/README.md#onlyexcept-advanced).
|
|
|
|
### Syntax of environment variable expressions
|
|
|
|
Below you can find supported syntax reference:
|
|
|
|
1. Equality matching using a string
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `$VARIABLE == "some value"`
|
|
- `$VARIABLE != "some value"` (introduced in GitLab 11.11)
|
|
|
|
You can use equality operator `==` or `!=` to compare a variable content to a
|
|
string. We support both, double quotes and single quotes to define a string
|
|
value, so both `$VARIABLE == "some value"` and `$VARIABLE == 'some value'`
|
|
are supported. `"some value" == $VARIABLE` is correct too.
|
|
|
|
1. Checking for an undefined value
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `$VARIABLE == null`
|
|
- `$VARIABLE != null` (introduced in GitLab 11.11)
|
|
|
|
It sometimes happens that you want to check whether a variable is defined
|
|
or not. To do that, you can compare a variable to `null` keyword, like
|
|
`$VARIABLE == null`. This expression evaluates to true if
|
|
variable is not defined when `==` is used, or to false if `!=` is used.
|
|
|
|
1. Checking for an empty variable
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `$VARIABLE == ""`
|
|
- `$VARIABLE != ""` (introduced in GitLab 11.11)
|
|
|
|
If you want to check whether a variable is defined, but is empty, you can
|
|
simply compare it against an empty string, like `$VAR == ''` or non-empty
|
|
string `$VARIABLE != ""`.
|
|
|
|
1. Comparing two variables
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `$VARIABLE_1 == $VARIABLE_2`
|
|
- `$VARIABLE_1 != $VARIABLE_2` (introduced in GitLab 11.11)
|
|
|
|
It is possible to compare two variables. This is going to compare values
|
|
of these variables.
|
|
|
|
1. Variable presence check
|
|
|
|
Example: `$STAGING`
|
|
|
|
If you only want to create a job when there is some variable present,
|
|
which means that it is defined and non-empty, you can simply use
|
|
variable name as an expression, like `$STAGING`. If `$STAGING` variable
|
|
is defined, and is non empty, expression will evaluate to truth.
|
|
`$STAGING` value needs to be a string, with length higher than zero.
|
|
Variable that contains only whitespace characters is not an empty variable.
|
|
|
|
1. Pattern matching (introduced in GitLab 11.0)
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `=~`: True if pattern is matched. Ex: `$VARIABLE =~ /^content.*/`
|
|
- `!~`: True if pattern is not matched. Ex: `$VARIABLE_1 !~ /^content.*/` ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/61900) in GitLab 11.11)
|
|
|
|
Variable pattern matching with regular expressions uses the
|
|
[RE2 regular expression syntax](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax).
|
|
Expressions evaluate as `true` if:
|
|
|
|
- Matches are found when using `=~`.
|
|
- Matches are *not* found when using `!~`.
|
|
|
|
Pattern matching is case-sensitive by default. Use `i` flag modifier, like
|
|
`/pattern/i` to make a pattern case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
1. Conjunction / Disjunction ([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/27925) in GitLab 12.0)
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `$VARIABLE1 =~ /^content.*/ && $VARIABLE2 == "something"`
|
|
- `$VARIABLE1 =~ /^content.*/ && $VARIABLE2 =~ /thing$/ && $VARIABLE3`
|
|
- `$VARIABLE1 =~ /^content.*/ || $VARIABLE2 =~ /thing$/ && $VARIABLE3`
|
|
|
|
It is possible to join multiple conditions using `&&` or `||`. Any of the otherwise
|
|
supported syntax may be used in a conjunctive or disjunctive statement.
|
|
Precedence of operators follows the
|
|
[Ruby 2.5 standard](https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/doc/syntax/precedence_rdoc.html),
|
|
so `&&` is evaluated before `||`.
|
|
|
|
### Storing regular expressions in variables
|
|
|
|
It is possible to store a regular expression in a variable, to be used for pattern matching:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
STAGINGRELS: '/staging0|staging1/'
|
|
|
|
deploy_staging:
|
|
script: do.sh deploy staging
|
|
environment: staging
|
|
rules:
|
|
- if: '$RELEASE =~ $STAGINGRELS'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
The available regular expression syntax is limited. See [related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/35438)
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
If needed, you can use a test pipeline to determine whether a regular expression will
|
|
work in a variable. The example below tests the `^mast.*` regular expression directly,
|
|
as well as from within a variable:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
variables:
|
|
MYSTRING: 'master'
|
|
MYREGEX: '/^mast.*/'
|
|
|
|
testdirect:
|
|
script: /bin/true
|
|
rules:
|
|
- if: '$MYSTRING =~ /^mast.*/'
|
|
|
|
testvariable:
|
|
script: /bin/true
|
|
rules:
|
|
- if: '$MYSTRING =~ $MYREGEX'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debug logging
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab Runner 1.7.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: **Warning:**
|
|
Enabling debug tracing can have severe security implications. The
|
|
output **will** contain the content of all your variables and any other
|
|
secrets! The output **will** be uploaded to the GitLab server and made visible
|
|
in job logs!
|
|
|
|
By default, GitLab Runner hides most of the details of what it is doing when
|
|
processing a job. This behavior keeps job logs short, and prevents secrets
|
|
from being leaked into the log unless your script writes them to the screen.
|
|
|
|
If a job isn't working as expected, this can make the problem difficult to
|
|
investigate; in these cases, you can enable debug tracing in `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
|
|
Available on GitLab Runner v1.7+, this feature enables the shell's execution
|
|
log, resulting in a verbose job log listing all commands that were run,
|
|
variables that were set, and so on.
|
|
|
|
Before enabling this, you should ensure jobs are visible to
|
|
[team members only](../../user/permissions.md#project-features). You should
|
|
also [erase](../pipelines/index.md#view-jobs-in-a-pipeline) all generated job logs
|
|
before making them visible again.
|
|
|
|
To enable debug logs (traces), set the `CI_DEBUG_TRACE` variable to `true`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
job_name:
|
|
variables:
|
|
CI_DEBUG_TRACE: "true"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example truncated output with `CI_DEBUG_TRACE` set to `true`:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
export CI_SERVER_TLS_CA_FILE="/builds/gitlab-examples/ci-debug-trace.tmp/CI_SERVER_TLS_CA_FILE"
|
|
if [[ -d "/builds/gitlab-examples/ci-debug-trace/.git" ]]; then
|
|
echo $'\''\x1b[32;1mFetching changes...\x1b[0;m'\''
|
|
$'\''cd'\'' "/builds/gitlab-examples/ci-debug-trace"
|
|
$'\''git'\'' "config" "fetch.recurseSubmodules" "false"
|
|
$'\''rm'\'' "-f" ".git/index.lock"
|

## Video walkthrough of a working example
|
|
|
|
The [Managing the Complex Configuration Data Management Monster Using GitLab](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ZOJ96hAck) video is a walkthrough of the [Complex Config Data Monorepo](https://gitlab.com/guided-explorations/config-data-top-scope/config-data-subscope/config-data-monorepo) working example project. It explains how multiple levels of group CI/CD variables can be combined with environment-scoped project variables for complex configuration of application builds or deployments.
|
|
|
|
The example can be copied to your own group or instance for testing. More details
|
|
on what other GitLab CI patterns are demonstrated are available at the project page.
