Docs feedback: gitlab-runner in windows had long file paths regression
-
Start this issue's title with Docs:orDocs feedback:.
Problem to solve
Regarding the PathTooLongException section of the Install GitLab Runner on Windows documentation page, it might be worth mentioning to the end user that there was a regression introduced in GitLab Runner version 16.9.1 related to the docker-windows executor which was not fixed until 17.10.0.
Further details
Anyone using the docker-windows executor on gitlab-runner version 16.9.1 (inclusive) to 17.10.0 (exclusive) will need to upgrade to version 17.10.0 to obtain the expected runner behavior.
Proposal
Update the documentation to call out the regression so that users don't get stuck troubleshooting an issue for a few days like I just did
Who can address the issue
Anyone with access to update the documentation.
