gitlab-ci $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE is not set

Summary

Maybe we are doing something wrong, but, already tried a lot to get this working and the $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE environment variable is not being set when CI runs.

Steps to reproduce

Use the docker sample .gitlab-ci.yml file:

image: docker:latest
services:
  - docker:dind
before_script:
  - docker info
  - export
  
build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - docker login -u "gitlab-ci-token" -p "$CI_JOB_TOKEN" $CI_REGISTRY
    - docker build --pull -t "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest" .
    - docker push "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest"

The export command on before_script does not show the CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE variable. Copied the portion where it should be set.

export CI_PROJECT_URL='http://gitlab.sample/group/sample'
export CI_REGISTRY='docker.sampleserver.net'
export CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
export CI_REGISTRY_USER='gitlab-ci-token'
export CI_REPOSITORY_URL='http://gitlab-ci-token:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gitlab.sample/group/sample.git'
export CI_RUNNER_DESCRIPTION='Shared Runner'

What is the current bug behavior?

When running the build step it gives an error:

$ docker login -u "gitlab-ci-token" -p "$CI_JOB_TOKEN" $CI_REGISTRY
Login Succeeded
$ docker build --pull -t "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest" .
invalid argument ":latest" for t: invalid reference format
See 'docker build --help'.
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 125

What is the expected correct behavior?

It should set CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE

Possible fixes

For the time being we solved the problem using:

docker build --pull -t "$CI_REGISTRY/$CI_PROJECT_PATH:latest" .
docker push "$CI_REGISTRY/$CI_PROJECT_PATH:latest"
