I have gitlab deployment activem and I want to get the deploy script to have some custom information about the deployment process (like $CI_PIPELINE_ID).

However, the script doesn't get the variables, instead it gets the "raw text".

the call performed by the script is: $ python deploy/deploy.py $CI_COMMIT_TAG $CI_ENVIRONMENT_URL $CI_PIPELINE_ID

How can i get it to use the variables?

My .gitlab-ci.yml:

image: python:2.7

before_script:
  - whoami
  - sudo apt-get --quiet update --yes
  - sudo chmod +x deploy/deploy.py
deploy_production:
  stage: deploy
  environment: Production
  only:
      - tags
      - trigger
  except:
      # - develop
      - /^feature\/.*$/
      - /^hotfix\/.*$/
      - /^release\/.*$/

  script:
    - python deploy/deploy.py $CI_COMMIT_TAG $CI_ENVIRONMENT_URL $CI_PIPELINE_ID

It looks like potentially that you could be using a different environmental variable that you should be using.

  • bash/sh $variable
  • windows batch %variable%
  • PowerShell $env:variable

See using CI variables in your job script.

I don't get what you mean with "raw text", but you can declare the variables in your project settings. Also, have you configured you're runner?

Go to Settings->CI/CD->Secret Variables and just put them right there.

You can also find valuable information in the documentation.
