Cannot run gitlab jobs locally

[mauhau]

Minimal .gitlab-ci.yml illustrating the issue

Unfortunately I cannot pin down what in the gitlab-ci.yaml is now working, but as it is open-source:

https://gitlab.com/yaook/operator/-/blob/devel/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads

Expected behavior

Listing the jobs is working and not failing:

$ gitlab-ci-local --list
TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'F.replaceAll')
    at evaluateRuleIf (src/utils.ts:244:19)
    at getRulesResult (src/utils.ts:201:24)
    at new B1 (src/job.ts:211:38)
    at <anonymous> (src/parser.ts:174:33)
    at forEachRealJob (src/utils.ts:67:13)
    at init (src/parser.ts:160:15)
    at async create (src/parser.ts:60:22)
    at async Z$ (src/handler.ts:55:31)
    at async <anonymous> (src/index.ts:50:27)
    at processTicksAndRejections (native:7:39)

At least a debug / verbose option would be nice to pin down why this is failing.

Hi @mauhau
Issue is on release-note-file-check job (https://gitlab.com/yaook/operator/-/blob/devel/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads#L315)

Because of the "if:"

GitLab remove the job (see in pipeline editor/full configuration), whereas gitlab-ci-local try to interpret it.

Hi @LionnelC,
thank you for pointing on this! This already helps. Imho it would be good if the error message of gitlab-ci-local would already help to find it be yourself or if there would be some debugging opportunity which would help to find it.

Unfortunately I am not a Typescript developer to contribute on this :-)
