Area with issue?

JSON Schema

✔️ Expected Behavior

This code is actually valid:

.common:
  before_script:
    - git config --global credential.helper store

.job:
  before_script:
    - !reference [.common, before_script]

and should be recognized as that.

See here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/yaml_optimization.html#reference-tags

The following error is printed:

Unresolved tag: !reference

Hi @EmilySeville7cfg
Thanks for your quick reply! That looks promising. Is that something I would need to configure in my setup or can this be included in the schema so that the file lints correctly automatically for everyone?

AFAIK it's the first case.

I found out that it is actually already supported and included in the official schema:
https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore/blob/master/src/api/json/catalog.json#L1732
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/editor/schema/ci.json#L29

Then the issue must be somewhere else and not within SchemaStore. Thanks @EmilySeville7cfg !
