I have the following .gitlab-ci.yml file:
image: docker
services:
- docker:dind
stages:
- test
- build
- deploy
test:
stage: test
before_script:
- apk add --update -y python-pip
- pip install docker-compose
script:
- echo "Testing the app"
- docker-compose run app sh -c "python manage.py test && flake8"
build:
stage: build
only:
- develop
- production
- feature/deploy-debug-gitlab
before_script:
- apk add --update -y python-pip
- pip install docker-compose
script:
- echo "Building the app"
- docker-compose build
deploy:
stage: deploy
only:
- master
- develop
- feature/deploy
- feature/deploy-debug-gitlab
before_script:
- apk add --update -y python-pip
- pip install docker-compose
script:
- echo "Deploying the app"
- docker-compose up -d
environment: production
when: manual
When the Gitlab runner executes it, I get the following error:
$ apk add --update -y python-pip
bash: line 82: apk: command not found
ERROR: Job failed: exit status 1
How am I supposed to install apk? Or what image other than docker should I be using to run this gitlab-ci.yml file?
Well, it turns out I had two different runners: one marked as "shell executor" (Ubuntu) and the other marked as "docker executor“.
This error was being thrown out only when the Ubuntu runner was dispatching the job, since Ubuntu doesn´t come with apk.
I disabled the Ubuntu runner and solved the problem.
The alternative is to set your installation on step above test, as in this issue
image: docker:latest
services:
- docker:dind
before_script:
- apk add --update python-pip
