Add a warning message about CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME in include:rules
What does this MR do?
This MR adds an information about the problem stated in: #337633 (comment 684159945)
From the Slack conversation:
include:rules
only works with some variables: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/index.html#variables-with-includeAnd
CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
is one of them... Normally,CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
returns just the branch name like "main" or "feature". However, when implementing support of that variable, we used the "ref path" instead of the "ref". So it returns a string likerefs/heads/main
.Workaround: you can use
if: $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME =~ /main/
.I think we can solve this problem in this issue when we support all pipeline predefined variables.
I decided to open this MR after seeing this last comment: #276515 (comment 703550311)
