Gitlab CI CD variable are not getting injected while running gitlab pipeline

I am running the below code section in gitlab-ci.yml file:

  script:
- pip install --upgrade pip
- cd ./TestAutomation
- pip install -r ./requirements.txt

Below are the keys and values. So I have to pass any values to the pipeline with key as a variable ENV : dev

I have added all the above three variables in the GitLab CI CD variables sections by expanding them. just added a single value along with key

I also found like we can add variables in the .yml file itself as below. I am not sure how we can add multiple values for one key

variables:
 TEST:
   value: "some value" # this would be the default value
   description: "This variable makes cakes delicious"

When I run the pipeline I am getting errors as looks like these variables and values are not injected properly.

More details:

And the same error I am getting while running the pipeline. Hence my suspect is like Category variable is not injected properly when I am running through the pipeline

If needed I will show it on the share screen

What I have observed is --the values associated with keys which I am passing as parameter or variables , those are not injected or replaced instead of key. So ideally ${Category} should be replaced with value smoke etc

Solution

  • Variables set in the GitLab UI are not passed down to service containers. To set them, assign them to variables in the UI, then re-assign them in your .gitlab-ci.yml:

    stages:
  - Test
# Added this to your yml file
variables:
  ENV: $ENV
  BROWSER: $BROWSER
  Category: $Category

ui_tests:
  stage: Test
  image: 
    name: joyzourky/python-chromedriver:3.8
    entrypoint: [""]
  tags:
  - micro
  only:
  - develop
  when: manual
  script:
    - pip install --upgrade pip 
    - cd ./src/Tests/UIAutomation
    - pip install -r ./requirements.txt
    - pytest -s -v --env=${ENV} --browser=${BROWSER} --alluredir=./reports ./tests -m ${Category}
  artifacts:
    when: always
    path:
    - ./src/Tests/UIAutomation/reports/
    - ./src/Tests/UIAutomation/logs/
    expire_in: 1 day
