Removal of CI_BUILD_* variables
What does this MR do?
A customer has asked in a ticket about what to change CI_BUILD_REF
to. Link for GitLab team members.
be sure to change to the current
CI_JOB_*
predefined variables which are identical (except for the updated name).
CI_JOB_REF
is not in
- https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#ci_build_-predefined-variables
- https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html
When I went back to 12.10/13.0 I found references to CI_BUILD_REF
and the mapping isn't to CI_JOB_REF
.
8.x name | 9.0+ name |
---|---|
CI_BUILD_BEFORE_SHA |
CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA |
CI_BUILD_ID |
CI_JOB_ID |

CI_BUILD_REF **

CI_COMMIT_SHA **
|
CI_BUILD_REF_NAME |
CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME |
CI_BUILD_REF_SLUG |
CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG |
Adding this table (from 12.10), in full, to the deprecation notice, and removing some dangling references to CI_BUILD_*
variables.

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Review checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK

Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
