[Docs] Misinformation about nesting `!reference`
There is information:
You can't reuse a section that already includes a
!reference
tag. Only one level of nesting is supported.
But today my colleague did some refactoring and used something like this:
.notification:
icon:
- MSG_ICON=$(if [[ $CI_JOB_STATUS == "success" ]]; then echo ":white_check_mark:"; else echo ":warning:"; fi)
image_build:
- !reference [ .notification, icon ]
- ...
.actual_job:
script:
- ...
after_script:
- !reference [ .notification, image_build ]
and it worked properly !reference
- does it support nesting? If yes, what are the limitations? Or maybe the wording is incorrect, so in fact "one level of nesting is supported" (and then "You can't reuse a section that already includes a !reference
tag" is misleading)?
