start failed due to /var/lib/gitlab-runner not exists
Summary
start failed due to /var/lib/gitlab-runner not exists
Steps to reproduce
- ubuntu 17.04
- installed gitlab-ci-multi-runner ( it was a mistake cause outdated )
- then installed correct latest ( https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-repository.html )
- registered some runners
- service gitlab-runner start
- if your system lacks of the /var/lib/gitlab-runner directory it fails ( see syslog )
Actual behavior
- service gitlab-runner status ( not started )
Expected behavior
- it should ensure /var/lib/gitlab-runner ( may a package post-install check could enough )
