Implement variables for pipeline workflow rules [RUN ALL RSPEC] [RUN AS-IF-FOSS]
What does this MR do?
This is another approach for #294232 (closed). First approach: !50682 (closed).
Refactor has been done before this MR => !57136 (merged)
This MR implements the variables keyword for rules of pipeline workflow. This is only for workflow:rules, the previous MR implemented for job:rules.
- Added
root_variablestoPipeline::Chain::Commandto store variables defined in YAML.- Initially, assigned
result.workflow_attributes[:yaml_variables]inlib/gitlab/ci/pipeline/chain/config/process.rb.
- Initially, assigned
- Added logic in
lib/gitlab/ci/pipeline/chain/evaluate_workflow_rules.rbthat applying rules for workflow by changing theroot_variablesofPipeline::Chain::Command. - We have logic in
lib/gitlab/ci/config/entry/processable.rbthat merging root variables with job variables.- Kept the
variablesattribute the same for now. It will be removed with #300581 (closed). - Added
job_variablesreturn only job variables. - Added
variable_inheritanceto handle this inseed/build.
- Kept the
- Then, added logic in
lib/gitlab/ci/pipeline/seed/build.rbto override only variables fromroot.
Why did I choose this way?
- Our
inheritlogic is inlib/gitlab/ci/config/entry/processable.rb. - However, we have the result of
rulesin the "create pipeline" logic and we need that result to override workflow variables. - We need to use the variables from the result of
rulesto override the job variables from the workflow. - We know the result of
workflow:variables/workflow:rules:variablesinseed/build. - We need to merge root variables into job variables only if they are a part of "inheritance".

Screenshots (strongly suggested)
variables:
VAR1: my var 1
VAR2: my var 2
workflow:
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME =~ /master/
variables:
VAR1: overridden var 1
- if: $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME =~ /feature/
variables:
VAR2: overridden var 2
VAR3: new var 3
- when: always
If the first condition is satisfied, then the total variables will be:
- VAR1: overridden var 1
- VAR2: my var 2
If the second condition is satisfied, then the total variables will be:
- VAR1: my var 1
- VAR2: overridden var 2
- VAR3: new var 3
If no condition is satisfied, then the total variables will be:
- VAR1: my var 1
- VAR2: my var 2
