How to pass job variables to job.play()

[Prophet32j]

Description
There doesn't appear to be an ability to pass variables to a pipeline when playing from the gitbeaker API. The Gitlab Jobs API shows it as the payload in the call: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/api/jobs.md#run-a-job

I need to pass in a couple variables which will simplify my entire process.

Something like this is what I would expect with this API:

const api = new Gitlab({
  host: myHost,
  token: myToken
})

export async function playJob(job: Types.JobSchema, projectId: String): Promise<void> {
  await api.Jobs.play(projectId, job.id, {
    jobVariableAttributes: [
      {
        key: 'CUSTOM_JOB_VARIABLE_NAME',
        value: 'CUSTOM_JOB_VARIABLE_VALUE'
      }
    ]
  })
}

Hmm, that should work. I've had trouble in the past with the way the Gitlab API handles array though, since they didnt seem to be consistent. Ill give it a look and follow up when I have the time.

If I get time this weekend I’ll look into contributing with a PR. This is a pretty solid API wrapper. Making it align to the Gitlab API more closely will only make it better. Thanks.

Fixed for the next release!

Wow! That is awesome. I failed to find time. I’ll upgrade when it’s available and test it out!

@jdalrymple I see this is tagged for the next major release. When are you intending to release?

[jdalrymple]

End of the month! 🤞 At least the rc will be available then for people to test out. Currently just need to fix the CI pipeline for the automated release and testing.

@Prophet32j Give the latest canary a try, it should be fixed!
