Use Environments::Job record for environment options lookup
What does this MR do and why?
Use Environments::Job record for environment name lookup
Environment CI options and the persisted value of expanded_environment_name
are being moved from
Ci::BuildMetadata to Environments::Job, which will allow deletion of old
metadata records that are taking up too much space. This change fetches these values from the new
job_environment
record, keeping the fallback to the old storage location for backwards compatibility.
The new behaviour is controlled by the environment_attributes_from_job_environment
feature flag.

How to set up and validate locally
Environment metadata:
- Enable
environment_attributes_from_job_environment
andpersisted_job_environment_relationship
feature flags. - Run a CI job that references an environment, for example:
deploy-static: environment: name: production deployment_tier: production script: echo $CI_ENVIRONMENT_ID
- Verify that the job output contains the correct environment ID (the environment is fetched via the expanded name, see
#persisted_environment
and#persisted_environment_variables
)
Environments for merge request:
- Create an MR, using the same setup as the steps above.
- Verify the deployed environments in the merge request widget show as expected.
