Overview

Versions of the circleci cli prior to v0.1.31687, do not support all pipeline values when using the circleci config validate command when using the CircleCI Local CLI. This means that the circleci config validate command will fail erroneously. Currently, the following pipeline values are not supported: 

• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.user_id
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.user_name
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.user_username
• pipeline.git.branch.is_default
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.circleci.event_time
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.ref
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.checkout_sha
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.user_name
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.user_username
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.user_avatar
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.repo_name
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.repo_url
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.web_url
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.gitlab.commit_sha
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.commit_sha
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.commit_title
•  pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.commit_message
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.commit_timestamp
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.commit_author_name
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.total_commits_count
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.branch
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.gitlab.default_branch
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.gitlab.x_gitlab_event_id
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.gitlab.is_fork_merge_request
• pipeline.trigger_parameters.webhook.body

Resolution

Upgrade to the latest circleci CLI to ensure the latest features are available and current configurations validate.

For more information on pipeline parameters, you can refer to the CircleCI documentation on Pipeline values and parameters and Pipeline variables.
