### Summary I am having an intermittent issue where a private runner will not pick up a job. Retrying the job will usually kick it off. ### Steps to reproduce Start runner in debug. ``` gitlab-runner --debug run --config /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml ``` Watch the output until you see the following. ``` Checking for jobs... nothing runner=xxxxxxx Feeding runners to channel builds=0 ``` Hit `Create Pipeline` button immiediatly after seeing the above log message. Watch the log to see that the jobs are checked but not picked up. ``` Checking for jobs... nothing runner=xxxxxxxx Feeding runners to channel builds=0 Checking for jobs... nothing runner=xxxxxxxx Feeding runners to channel builds=0 Checking for jobs... nothing runner=xxxxxxxx Feeding runners to channel builds=0 ``` The job is never picked up and stays in the pending state. I have waited more the 45 minutes for it to resolve. Restarting the runner will cause the job to be picked up. You can also do the following: Open the edit page for the runner. Don't edit the tags but remove a space so there is a difference to save. Save the runner. The jobs is instantly picked up by the runner. ### Example Project https://gitlab.com/jrob007/test ### What is the current *bug* behavior? The job sits in the pending state. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? The job is picked up by the runner. ### Relevant logs and/or screenshots Gitlab runner version ``` Version: 10.7.0 Git revision: 7c273476 Git branch: 10-7-stable GO version: go1.8.7 Built: 2018-04-22T13:43:35+00:00 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 ``` ```toml concurrent = 1 check_interval = 0 [[runners]] name = "docker-runer-linux-development" url = "https://gitlab.com/" token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" executor = "docker" environment = ["HTTPS_PROXY=http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:1234", "HTTP_PROXY=http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:1234"] pre_clone_script = "git config --global http.proxy $HTTP_PROXY; git config --global https.proxy $HTTPS_PROXY" [runners.docker] tls_verify = false image = "node:latest" privileged = false disable_cache = false volumes = ["/cache"] shm_size = 0 [runners.cache] ``` ### Output of checks This bug happens on GitLab.com ### Other relevant information * Running behind a proxy. ### Things I have tried * Waiting. * Saving the runner with tags in a different order. * Checking `Run untagged jobs`. Potential workaround * Specifying only the required tags on the runner. Removed tags that were not relevant.
