Multi-line command not showing in pipeline UI

By default, pipeline output will collapse multi-line commands. For example, the following commands in .gitlab-ci.yaml and its output will be:

- |
  echo line1
  echo line2
  echo line3

Output:

$ echo line1 # collapsed multi-line command
line1
line2
line3

added Backlog label

changed milestone to %WIP: OOD knightly improvement

assigned to @louistw

One solution will be enable via environment variable: FF_SCRIPT_SECTIONS

Output:

$ echo line1
echo line2
echo line3
line1
line2
line3

changed the description

Another solution might be adding set -x in job script, but it somehow makes the output not in order:

Output:

$ echo "Compiling the code..."
Compiling the code...
$ echo "Compile complete."
Compile complete.
$ set -x
++ echo '$ echo line1 # collapsed multi-line command'
$ echo line1 # collapsed multi-line command
++ echo line1
line1
++ echo line2
line2
++ echo line3
line3
++ echo '$ set +x'
$ set +x
++ set +x
