Sean Carroll requested to merge 199250-expose-release-yaml-as-steps-via-api into master

What does this MR do?

Satisfies part 2 of #199250 (closed):

Expose Release steps via the API

Currently the API exposes only the script and after_script steps, i.e. it is possible to called the releaser-cli like this:

{
    "steps": [
        {
            "name": "script",
            "script": [
                "job script",
                "release-cli create --name \"Release $CI_COMMIT_SHA\" --description \"Created using the release-cli $EXTRA_DESCRIPTION\" --tag-name \"release-$CI_COMMIT_SHA\" --ref \"$CI_COMMIT_SHA\""
            ] 
        }
    ]
}

Going forward we can name the steps, in this the step would be named release:

{
    "steps": [
        {
            "name": "script",
            "script": [...] 
        },
        {
            "name": "release",
            "script": [
                "release-cli create --name \"Release $CI_COMMIT_SHA\" --description \"Created using the release-cli $EXTRA_DESCRIPTION\" --tag-name \"release-$CI_COMMIT_SHA\" --ref \"$CI_COMMIT_SHA\""
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Please note:

  • the yaml has already been validated before the pipeline is executed
  • the :release node is currently behind a feature flag
  • runner has been extended with this MR
  • full description of the yaml is on the issue

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
