Errors when running multi-line inline “if” command

Overview

You are attempting to run a multi-line inline “if” command, but it is not processing correctly.

Details

Multiline formatting must follow specific syntax.

We suggest that you instead include the script as a file to be downloaded as part of your Clone step, or an additional step.

If those options are not available, note:

  • Do not use indentation deeper than your first command.

  • Add semi-colons at the appropriate spots.

        test:
      title: "Running test"
      image: "ubuntu:latest"
      commands:
        - >-
          if [ ${{VAR}} -eq 42 ];
          then 
          echo "true";
          else 
          echo "false";
          fi
  • You can concatenate everything onto one line.

Note : We strongly suggest making use of script files where possible. This aids with GitOps and allows easier configuration changes.
