Errors when running multi-line inline "if" command

Symptoms

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

Cause

Multiline formatting must follow specific syntax.

Solution

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.

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