If condition is failing in the GitLab CI

following is my Gitlab CI code:-

stages:
  - check

variables:
  JIRA_HEADER: "Accept: application/json"

jira:
  stage: check
  before_script:
    #- apk add jq curl
    - apk add --no-cache bash jq curl
    
  image: python:3.7.4-alpine3.9
  script:
    - export MERGE_REQUEST_JIRA_ID=$(echo ${CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TITLE} | sed -r "s/^([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]+-[0-9]+).*/1/")
    - echo $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TITLE
    
    - export JIRA_DETAIL=$(curl -u ${JIRA_USERNAME}:${JIRA_PASSWORD} -H "${JIRA_HEADER}" -X GET https://${JIRA_SERVER}/rest/api/2/issue/${MERGE_REQUEST_JIRA_ID}?fields=status)
    - echo $JIRA_DETAIL

    # extract the JIRA key id, this also validates JIRA issue referenced is valid
    - export JIRA_KEY_ID=$(echo ${JIRA_DETAIL} | jq -e '.key')
    - echo $JIRA_KEY_ID

    # extract the JIRA status
    - export JIRA_STATUS=$(echo ${JIRA_DETAIL} | jq '.fields.status.name')
    - echo $JIRA_STATUS
    - |
       if [[ "$JIRA_STATUS" == "^(Done|Completed|Closed)$" ]] 
        then 
          echo "Invalid JIRA (Done/Completed/Closed) found!"
          exit 1
        else echo "Valid JIRA Id found!" 
       fi    
  only:
    - merge_requests

I’m trying to validate the JIRA status by calling its API after retrieving Jira id from title of Merge Request. There is a problem in the If condition below if [[ "$JIRA_STATUS" == "^(Done|Completed|Closed)$" ]] as it is not validating it properly. Every time, the else condition is getting executed and printing the message as Valid JIRA Id found! I would really appreciate if someone can help me to fix this minor issue. I want to gracefully exit the job with this message in the if block as Invalid JIRA (Done/Completed/Closed) found! whenever the Jira status found to be in any of the given values as Done, Completed or Closed.

Answer

I’m finally able to resolve this issue by modifying the code like below:-

- |
      if test -z "$(echo ${JIRA_STATUS} | sed -r "s/"(Done|Completed|Closed)"//")" 
        then 
          echo "Not a valid Jira (Done/Completed/Closed)"; exit 1
        else 
          echo "Valid Jira found!"; echo $?
      fi

I had used the test command along with if-else condition in Linux to make it work
