Reference attribute is not working under before_script section with anchors
Summary
**I realized that anchors
don't run correctly if they are combined with reference
tags under before_script
section of a parent job **
Steps to reproduce
Following configuration is working correctly:
.bar:
- echo "Prepare environment"
.base:
before_script:
- !reference [.bar]
test:
extends:
- .base
script:
- echo "Build is started"
When I use an anchor under before_script
section, it is failed
.foo: &foo
- echo "Anchor test"
.bar:
- *foo
- echo "Prepare environment"
.base:
before_script:
- !reference [.bar]
test:
extends:
- .base
script:
- echo "Build is started"

What is the current bug behavior?
I cannot add an anchor
with reference
tag under before_script
section of a parent job.
What is the expected correct behavior?
I should use anchors
with reference
tags under before_script
section of a parent job.
