Doing Lab 1 of Gitlab CI/CD course and no instance runners are available for the lab. All the pipelines are stuck as pending because of it. Can’t complete lab.
There’s no runner by default, but I’ve verified you can create one in the lab:
- From the Home screen, click on Configure Gitlab.
- Choose “runners” from the CI/CD menu on the left.
- Click on the “New Instance runner” button and fill in the form.
@rob_kodekloud I’ve tried that. Doesn’t work. When I try that it brings me to this page: http://gitlab.kodekloud.com/admin/runners/3/register?platform=linux
Which I don’t have access to and is outside the lab. Creating a runner is also not part of the lab assignment. This lab needs a bug fix
Lab 2 also doesn’t have any runners ( Lab 2 - Exploring Pipeline Configuration Part-2). There’s also supposed to be a repo already setup for the user, but there’s nothing there for the provided user.
Are all labs for this course faulty? When was the last time this course was updated?
There’s a redirection problem with the page. BUT THE RUNNER IN FACT GETS CREATED. Take a look – it’s there.
I see now that even if the runners are created, it is unclear how to make the new runners pick of jobs. I have escalated this with the lab team, to get them to give a close look at this issue.
Lab should now be fixed.
Thank you
