Proposal

Support the use of variable expansion in parallel matrix job definitions

Example

Original

build_update_patches_base_version:
  extends:
  - .build_update_patches_base_version
  parallel:
    matrix:
     - MINOR_VERSION: ["1.20", "1.21", "1.22", "1.23", "1.24"]

test_prepare_patches:
  extends:
   - .test_prepare_patches
  needs:
  - test_apply_patches
  parallel:
    matrix:
     - MINOR_VERSION: ["1.20", "1.21", "1.22", "1.23", "1.24"]

Proposal

.tested_versions:
  variables:
    TESTED_VERSIONS: 1.20 1.21 1.22 1.23 1.24

build_update_patches_base_version:
  extends:
  - .build_update_patches_base_version
  - .tested_versions
  parallel:
    matrix:
     - MINOR_VERSION: ${TESTED_VERSIONS}

test_apply_patches:
  extends:
  - .test_apply_patches
  - .tested_versions
  parallel:
    matrix:
     - MINOR_VERSION: ${TESTED_VERSIONS}
