Could not find a way to set the variables of a job or many jobs through script run in a before script attribute

I want to display values from an .sh file into .gitlab-ci.yml but I cannot find a solution.
PS: I don't want to use environment variables in the .yml file

My versions.sh file is the following : 

export PROJECT_VERSION = 2.1.25

My .gitlab-ci.yml is the following :

before_script:
  - ./versions.sh

my_build_job:
  - script:
    - 'echo "PROJECT_VERSION = $(PROJECT_VERSION)"'

I understand you don't want to use environment variables in the .yml file, but that version.sh script defines a variable.

To display it, the syntax would be:

- 'echo "PROJECT_VERSION = ${PROJECT_VERSION}"'

That is ${...}, not $(...) which executes a command in a subshell.

But, as discussed in gitlab-org/gitlab-foss issue 27921, that will not work.

You would need to source your script, as suggested here:

my_build_job:
  - script:
    - source ./versions.sh
    - 'echo "PROJECT_VERSION = $(PROJECT_VERSION)"'
