Secret variables with a dollar sign are not correctly set
Summary
When a secret variable contains a dollar sign $, the secret variable is not set correctly. It seems the content after the dollar sign is expended as it was a variable.
I did not see documentation stating that this is the expected behavior.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new repo
- Setup the repo with a new secret variable: `TEST=hello$world``
- Create a new .gitlab-ci.yml that contains
test:
stage: test
- env- Push random code to run the CI step
- The content of the job will be
TEST=hello
Example Project
None
What is the current bug behavior?
The content of the job will be TEST=hello
What is the expected correct behavior?
The content of the job sould be TEST=hello$world
Workaround
In the variable value, use a double dollar sign instead of a single: TEST=hello$$world instead of TEST=hello$world
