That solution works fine on my CI, however, it is stated in Gitlab 
documentation that overriding predefined variables is not recommended.

        https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html
	Avoid overriding predefined variables, as it can cause the pipeline to 
behave unexpectedly.
