Using Git submodules in CI jobs
### Summary Git submodules dont work in CI jobs ### Steps to reproduce * Create a file **.gitmodules** ``` [submodule "database_schema"] path = database_schema url = ../../nss/database_schema.git ``` * My **.gitlab-ci.yml** ``` variables: GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive rspec: stage: test before_script: - ls - cd database_schema ``` ### What is the current *bug* behavior? I cant acces to my submodule repo inside CI job. ``` $ cd database_schema /bin/bash: line 63: cd: database_schema: No such file or directory ``` But i can see the line **Upating/initializing submodules recursively.** in my job ``` Fetching changes... Checking out e5ed3c03 as master... Updating/initializing submodules recursively... Checking cache for master... Successfully extracted cache ```
