GitlabRunner does not check out the latest commit but the previous one

Summary

CI via gitlab-runner does not check out the latest commit on the docker image, but uses the previous commit. This is wrong!

Steps to reproduce

I was able to reproduce this multiple times in our self-hosted GitLab CE instance.

Every time I committed the CI process used the previous instead of the current commit.

What is the current bug behavior?

Look at the commit id of the job on the right (this is the ID I would expect the CI job to use).

Then look at the gitlab runner log. It shows a differnt ID in "HEAD is now at..." message. It's the previous commit id.

What is the expected correct behavior?

I would expect gitlab-runner to use the latest commit.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

see above.

This is the CI template:

variables:
  # This will supress any download for dependencies and plugins or upload messages which would clutter the console log.
  # `showDateTime` will show the passed time in milliseconds. You need to specify `--batch-mode` to make this work.
  MAVEN_OPTS: "-Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.showDateTime=true -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  # As of Maven 3.3.0 instead of this you may define these options in `.mvn/maven.config` so the same config is used
  # when running from the command line.
  # `installAtEnd` and `deployAtEnd` are only effective with recent version of the corresponding plugins.
  MAVEN_CLI_OPTS: "--batch-mode --errors --fail-at-end --show-version -DinstallAtEnd=true -DdeployAtEnd=true"
  # fetch submodules
  GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive


# copy settings.xml with our company Artifactory settings to /root/.m2/settings.xml
