Group Runners not picking up the jobs
Can you help me answer this problem I am facing: · When I have a project Specific Runner – the jobs are immediately picking up an available runner – no issues. · But, when I set up a bunch of Group Runners, jobs don’t even recognize the available runners, and it says “This job is in pending state and is waiting to be picked by a runner” When I check the journalctl logs … I see the message “Dec 21 05:46:36 GLCHBS-SD220088.eu.novartis.net gitlab-runner[16530]: WARNING: Checking for jobs... failed runner=NmhZ4Ycy status=couldn't execute POST against https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/request: Post https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/request: dial tcp: lookup gitlab.com on 160.61.11.11:53: no such host” When a Group Runner starts … I guess it frequently polls the server, to see if there are any jobs. And this POST api call happens from the host machine (RedHat) itself, right? Not from a docker container … isn’t it? But when I run these Group Runners in “debug” mode, it immediately connects to GitLab, and pick up all the pending jobs. Also the same case with ‘Specific Runner’ … it picks up jobs from the queue. I am puzzled what is different in the “debug” mode & with Specific Runner, that makes it work. Can you please throw some light on this?
