WARNING: Checking for jobs... failed in docker executer in gitlab-runner - docker

Question

I am trying to run gitlab-ci on a local running using docker executer
This is the config.toml
concurrent = 1
check_interval = 0
[session_server]
session_timeout = 1800
listen_address = "0.0.0.0:8093"
[[runners]]
url = "https://gitlab.com/<ACCOUNT>/my-static-website"
token = XXXXXX
executor = "docker"
builds_dir = ""
clone_url = "https://gitlab.com/<ACCOUNT>/my-static-website.git"
[runners.docker]
tls_verify = false
image = "docker:latest"
privileged = true
disable_cache = false
volumes = ["/cache"]
[runners.cache]
Insecure = false
My .gitlab-ci.yml:
image: node
stages:
- build
- test
build website:
stage: build
script:
- npm install
- npm install -g gatsby-cli
- gatsby build
artifacts:
paths:
- ./public
tags:
- trials
test artifacts:
image: alpine
stage: test
script:
- grep -q "Gatsby" ./public/index.html
Here is the error I am getting:

I am using gitlab-runner version 12.9 and gitlab server: 12.10.0-pre
I have my runner on the server as follows:
I am running the command: gitlab-runner run -c ./config.toml
What did I miss here?

Answer 1

Your runner is not able to check for jobs. Can you double check the endpoint URL?
If your repository is on gitlab.com, you should be using the endpoint https://gitlab.com/
In your GitLab Web UI, go to Settings -> CI/CD -> Runners -> Set up a specific Runner manually
You'll see the endpoint URL and the token you'll need to register your runner.
This is covered in my GitLab CI tutorial at https://gitpitch.com/atsaloli/cicd/master?grs=gitlab#/41 (it takes a few seconds to load)
Let me know if that helps?
