runner version < 9 don't work at all, error on latest version FATAL: permission denied
Summary
after updating to Gitlab CE 9.4.0 runner version 1.11.4 stopped working with no error output nothing. So I updated the runners but now I'm getting this error:
ERROR: Uploading artifacts to coordinator... forbidden id=23362 responseStatus=403 Forbidden status=403 Forbidden token=7zzG6BPK FATAL: permission denied
I used to solve this by downgrading the runner but since they don't work at all I upgraded
