requested to merge pedropombeiro/26345/7-alt-report-sort-error-in-seed-build into pedropombeiro/26345/6-add-expand_variable_collection

What does this MR do?
This is the seventh MR in a Russian-doll style chain of 8 MRs culminating with !48627 (merged). It:
- Adds
Ci::Build#variables_collection
andBuild::Context::Base
, that gets called from#variables
; - Leverages those methods to add logic in
Pipeline::Seed::Build
to create an error if an error is detected in the sorting of variables.
Note: in comparison with the alternative of !54509 (merged) + !54563 (merged), this alternative version doesn't remove #scoped_variables_hash
, in order to reduce the scope of changes.
List of MRs
MR 1: MakeCollection::Sorted
class take and output aVariables::Collection
;MR 2: Add#sorted_collection
method and#errors
property toVariables::Collection
;-
MR 3: Add indexing/lookup of variables to
Variables::Collection
; -
MR 4: Add support for
depends_on
property toVariables::Collection::Item
; -
MR 5: Add support for
raw
property toVariables::Collection::Item
; -
MR 6: Add an
#expand_variables_collection
function toExpandVariables
to perform a full expansion of aVariables::Collection
, gated by the new project-scoped:variable_inside_variable
feature flag. It will return the original object if a cyclic reference is detected; - MR 7: Add error reporting to
Gitlab::Ci::Pipeline::Seed::Build
to let the user know when a problem occurs with variable expansion; -
MR 8: Change
Ci::BuildRunnerPresenter#variables
to leverageExpandVariables#expand_variables_collection
so that variables sent in the job response are expanded;
