The use of global variables in GitLab CI can create problems when multiple CI files are being imported, as variables are not scoped to a specific file. This can lead to unexpected variables being set, causing issues in the CI/CD pipeline. This is what is happening wiht quickstart-vdk test - https://gitlab.com/vmware-analytics/versatile-data-kit/-/jobs/3901914540 It expected that there's python installed because it's supposed to use python image but some other file overrides this image to docker and causes the test to fail. This changes quickstart-vdk to use job-level variables. In future changes I will be changing all CIs to use job-level variables or environment variables to avoid conflicts and ensure proper scoping. Or ensure that global variabels and labels are prefixed with the project or plugin name. Testing Done: this PR CI Signed-off-by: Antoni Ivanov <[email protected]>
