Is it possible to pass a script to YAML variable?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm trying to work with gitlab's CI and it involves a YAML config file. Is it possible to pass a shell script to a variable?
something like:
TEST_VARIABLE: ./script.sh
The scripts is making a request to an api which will then output a string. If it's not possible, are there any workarounds?

The word "variable" is only used once in the YAML spec and that is as part of a scalar in example 2.28 ( part of something looking like an error message). What do you mean by "passing a script to YAML variable" as there are no such things as variables in YAML?

The documentation refers to "Expansion mechanisms - Execution shell environment"
This is an expansion that takes place during the script execution. How it works depends on the used shell (bash/sh/cmd/PowerShell).
For example, if the job’s script contains a line
echo $MY_VARIABLE-${MY_VARIABLE_2}, it should be properly handled by bash/sh (leaving empty strings or some values depending whether the variables were defined or not), but will not work with Windows’ cmd/PowerShell, since these shells are using a different variables syntax.
On Linux, you could define TEST_VARIABLE in the job script as
export TEST_VARIABLE=$(/path/to/script.sh)
