Gitlab CI/CD Course Labs : GitLab Projects Not Auto-Created

Hi team,

I’m facing an issue with the GitLab CI/CD course labs. These labs used to work fine for me, but over the past few days they no longer initialise correctly.

Example affected lab:

Lab 1 – Exploring Pipeline Configuration (Part 1)

Issue details:

The lab-1 project is not created in the GitLab instance.

This a pre-created repository that should be modified to complete the lab.

The problem is not limited to one lab, I’ve also tried Lab 2 and Lab 3, and the same issue occurs.

In all cases, the GitLab projects/repositories that are normally auto-created as part of the lab setup are missing.

I’ve retried each lab multiple times with the same result.

Could you please check whether there’s an issue with the lab environment provisioning or the GitLab integration?

Thanks in advance for your support.

I’m actually not certain which course you’re talking about. Could you please include links to the labs you’re referring to, so I don’t have to look through multiple courses to find where you’re talking about?

Hi Rob,

Here you go:
https://learn.kodekloud.com/user/courses/gitlab-ci-cd-architecting-deploying-and-optimizing-pipelines/module/fbf7cb8d-dcca-444e-a547-7bdb8b725634/lesson/1b39cf47-9ccb-448c-9d50-bb27fe48be4b

Also for the given example (Lab 1) there are no docker runners available for the lab which are required to complete it. The pipelines using docker runners gets stuck as pending because of it.

Also here are the links to lab 2 and 3 as well in case needed (Projects/repos not being created)

Hi,

that’s correct, I also tried performing labs for ‘GitLab CI/CD: Architecting, Deploying, and Optimizing Pipelines’ course and faced the same issue. The repos to perform lab task are not being created automatically
