CI Linter should Detect duplicate job names
Problem to solve
The CI linter doesn't give an error/warning if two jobs have the same name.
Further details
This yaml passes the CI linter.
one:
script:
- echo one
two:
script:
- echo two
two:
script:
- echo "two again"
That's reasonable, as I believe it is correct/valid yaml.
However in the context of gitlab-ci.yaml
surely no-one would ever want this. I think it would be more helpful if this didn't pass the linter, rather than silently not running a job someone thought they defined.
Proposal
Duplicate job names (or any key in a dictionary) should be detected by the linter, and prevent a pipeline from running. This would make the checks the linter runs more useful.
