GitLab CI - include project ENV_VARIABLE support

[Mazorius]

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

GitLab

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Hi,

we create in our self-hosted GitLab instance a CI/CD job library which can be imported like this:

include:
  - project: $INSTANCE_VARIABLE
    ref: '0.1.0'
    file: path/to/job-template.yaml

Renovate cannot resolve the $INSTANCE_VARIABLE and find therefore new tags in a GitLab project.

I added it as customEnvVariables but that does not help.

Any idea how I can got this fixed?

Hi there,

A maintainer wants you to find and share a specific log message (packageFiles with updates) from your repository or environment.

If you self-host Renovate: make sure you run Renovate with LOG_LEVEL=debug to get the debug log messages! Next, open the debug-level logs and search for packageFiles with updates. This text marks the start of a structured log message that shows every package file, dependency, and update that Renovate found.

Find the relevant dependency/dependencies in the log message, and copy/paste those parts into this discussion. If you do not know which bits we need, you can copy/paste the full log message.

Read the Renovate docs, Troubleshooting to learn more about getting the docs, and getting the correct type of logs.

Thanks, the Renovate team
