Travis CI Timeout For Specific Jobs - travis-ci

I have a Travis CI based build and I have several jobs where one of them is supposed to push an image to a remote docker registry. Now at times this registry could not be available and in those situations, I would like to timeout this specific job, say after 10 minutes!
So here is what I have now:
jobs:
include:
- stage: test
script: sbt clean coverage test coverageReport
- stage: build docker image
script:
- if [ $TRAVIS_BRANCH == "master" ]; then
sbt docker:publishLocal;
docker login -u $REGISTRY_USER -p $REGISTRY_PASSWORD $DOCKER_REGISTRY_URL;
docker push $APPLICATION_NAME:$IMAGE_VERSION_DEV;
fi
I can see from the build logs that the build times out after 10 minutes which seems to be the default. But how do I override and set it to 5 minutes?
I could not find enough reference on the Travis CI website. How could I now add a Timeout to the build docker stage above?
Any suggestions?

You can use the travis_wait Bash function to achieve what you want e.g.
travis_wait 5 docker push $APPLICATION_NAME:$IMAGE_VERSION_DEV;
See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/common-build-problems/#Build-times-out-because-no-output-was-received

There are several options/ideas you can explore when using travis_wait:
Export the travis_wait function and use it within your bash scripts
scripts:
- export -f travis_wait
- cat./scripts/yours-using-travis_wait.sh | sudo bash -s $SOME_VAR
Use travis_wait directly in the travis-ci script step
scripts:
- travis_wait 90 make install
# OR
- travis_wait 90 sleep infinity &
- cat./scripts/yours.sh | sudo bash -s $SOME_VAR
# OR in some cases this "quoting" has worked
- "travis_wait 90 sleep infinity&"
- curl --funky-stuff-here

how to run a pipeline in gitlab on docker container? closed network error

I have this pipeline that I cant figure out why its running into issues. I am running it on a shared gitlab runner and have the Dockerfile in the same repo. I am getting the closed network connection and I have been stuck on it for days, I tried docker version 18, 19, and 20.
This is to build a custom docker container and deploy the code.
.gitlab-ci.yml
before_script:
- docker --version

#services:
# - docker:18.09.7-dind

services:

# entrypoint: ["env", "-u", "DOCKER_HOST"]
# command: ["dockerd-entrypoint.sh"]
script:
- echo "FROM ubuntu:18.04" > Dockerfile
- docker build .
unit-test-job:
tags:
- docker # This job runs in the test stage.
stage: test # It only starts when the job in the build stage completes successfully.
script:
- echo "Running unit tests... This will take about 60 seconds."
- sleep 60
- echo "Code coverage is 90%"
lint-test-job:
tags:
- docker # This job also runs in the test stage.
stage: test # It can run at the same time as unit-test-job (in parallel).
script:
- echo "Linting code... This will take about 10 seconds."
- sleep 10
- echo "No lint issues found."
deploy-job:
tags:
- docker # This job runs in the deploy stage.
stage: deploy # It only runs when *both* jobs in the test stage complete successfully.
script:
- echo "Deploying application..."
- echo "Application successfully deployed."

So - you're trying to build a docker image inside a container.
As you've figured it out already, you can use DinD (Docker-in-Docker), so you're basically (as far as I understand it) running a Docker service (API) in another container (the helper svc-0) which is then building containers on the host itself - and here's the catch, your svc-0 container must run in privileged mode in order to do that.
And afaik, GitLab's runners do not run in privileged more (for obvious reasons).
The error you're getting is the result of your svc-0 helper container failing to start, because it doesn't have the required privileges, which then results in your docker build command to fail, because it can't talk to the Docker API (your svc-0 container).
Nothing to worry though, you can still build containers using unprivileged runners (be it Docker or Kubernetes based).
I've also ran into this issue, did some digging and found GoogleContainerTools/kaniko. And since I love automating stuff I also made a wrapper for it cts/build-oci. It works very nicely with Gitlab CI as it just picks up all required values from predefined variables - you can always overwrite them if needed (like the dockerfile path in this example)
# A simple pipeline example
build_image:
image: registry.gitplac.si/cts/build-oci:1.0.4
script: [ "/build.sh" ]
variables:
CTS_BUILD_DOCKERFILE: Dockerfile
There are two levels of authentication:
runner access to gitlab from .gitlab-ci.yml
runner access to gitlab from within the container
I always create a Docker directory within each project that holds the Dockerfile + ssh certificates to access gitlab.
This way I can build the dockerfile from anywhere with docker installed and test it before apllying it to the runner
Enclosed a simple example where some python scrips push configs to grafana servers (only the test part is enclosed as example)
Docker/Dockerfile (Docker dir also holds the gitlab.priv + gitlab.publ for a personal gitlab ssh-key that are copied into):
FROM xxxx.yyyy.zzzz:4567/testtools/python/python:3.10.4
ENV DIR /fido2-grafana

how to to reuse a docker container between jobs

I have the following code in my gitlab yml:
stages:
- unit_test
- deploy
Test:
stage: unit_test
script:
- docker run --rm -d --name myimage widgets:0.1 bash -c "tail -f /dev/null"
- docker exec -w /opt/source-code/tests myimage pwsh -c "dotnet test --test-adapter-path:. --logger:\"junit;LogFilePath=..\TestResults\test-results.xml;MethodFormat=Class;FailureBodyFormat=Verbose\""
- docker cp myimage:/opt/source-code/TestResults/test-results.xml ./
artifacts:
when: always
paths:
- ./test-results.xml
reports:
junit:
- ./test-results.xml
tags:
- docker-azure
deploy_to_dev:
stage: deploy
script:
- docker exec myimage pwsh -c "./mydeploymentscript.ps1"
only:
- master
tags:
- docker-azure
what the team wants is for a)unit tests to always run whenever the pipeline is triggered but b) the actual deployment logic to only trigger if the branch is master.
The pipeline is currently failing when it gets to the deploy stage with the error:
Error: No such container: myimage
I was trying to test to see if I could re-use the same container in between jobs since I'm not explicitly doing a "docker stop" on it in the unit test job. but I guess not.
I know I can repeat all the same commands / do another docker run in the deploy stage, but wondering if there's another way that I just don't know about.
Thank you
i'm not sure to understand your question. If you want to execute your job when you create a merge request, you can use "rules" like this
rules:
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
and the result of your tests will be available in your MR. If you job fail, your pipeline fail and your MR is not merged.
For this part, if your job fail, your pipeline fail too.

How to setup google cloud Cloudbuild.yaml to replicate a jenkins job?

I have the following script thats run in my jenkins job
set +x
SERVICE_ACCOUNT=`cat "$GCLOUD_AUTH_FILE"`
docker login -u _json_key -p "${SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" https://gcr.io
set -x
docker pull gcr.io/$MYPROJECT/automation:master
docker run --rm --attach STDOUT -v "$(pwd)":/workspace -v "$GCLOUD_AUTH_FILE":/gcloud-auth/service_account_key.json -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -e "BRANCH=master" -e "PROJECT=myproject" gcr.io/myproject/automation:master "/building/buildImages.sh" "myapp"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
exit 1
fi
I am now trying to do this in cloudbuild.yaml such that I can run my script using my own automation image (which has a bunch of dependencies docker/jdk/pip etc installed) , and mount my git folders in my workspace directory
I tried putting my cloudbuild.yaml at the top level in my directory in my git repo and set it up as this
steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/myproject/automation:master'
volumes:
- name: 'current-working-dir'
path: /mydirectory
args: ['bash', '-c','/building/buildImages.sh', 'myapp']
timeout: 4000s
But this gives me errors saying the
invalid build: Volume "current-working-dir" is only used by one step
Just FYI, my script buildImages.sh, copies folders and dockerfiles, runs pip install/ npm/ and gradle commands and then docker build commands (kind of all in one solution).
Whats the way to translate my script to cloudbuild.yaml
try this in your cloudbuild.yaml:
steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/<your-project>/<image>'
args: ['sh','<your-script>.sh']
using this I was able to pull the image from Google Cloud Registry that has my script, then run the script using 'sh'. It didn't matter where the script is. I'm using alpine in my Dockerfile as base image.

How do you view a log created during gitlab-runner exec?

I am testing a GitLab CI pipeline with gitlab-runner exec. During a script, Boost ran into an error, and it created a log file. I want to view this log file, but I do not know how to.
.gitlab-ci.yml in project directory:
image: alpine
variables:
GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
build:
script:
- apk add cmake
- cd include/boost
- sh bootstrap.sh
I test this on my machine with:
sudo gitlab-runner exec docker build --timeout 3600
The last several lines of the output:
Building Boost.Build engine with toolset ...
Failed to build Boost.Build build engine
Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1
FATAL: exit code 1
bootstrap.log is what I would like to view.
Appending - cat bootstrap.log to .gitlab-ci.yml does not output the file contents because the runner exits before this line. I tried looking though past containers with sudo docker ps -a, but this does not show the one that GitLab Runner used. How can I open bootstrap.log?
You can declare an artifact for the log:
image: alpine
variables:
GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
build:
script:
- apk add cmake
- cd include/boost
- sh bootstrap.sh
artifacts:
when: on_failure
paths:
- include/boost/bootstrap.log
Afterwards, you will be able to download the log file via the web interface.
Note that using when: on_failure will ensure that bootstrap.log will only be collected if the build fails, saving disk space on successful builds.

Docker: permission denied while trying to connect to Docker Daemon with local CircleCI build

I have a very simple config.yml:
version: 2
jobs:
build:
working_directory: ~/app
docker:
- image: circleci/node:8.4.0
steps:
- checkout
- run: node -e "console.log('Hello from NodeJS ' + process.version + '\!')"
- run: yarn
- setup_remote_docker
- run: docker build .
All it does: boot a node image, test if node is running, do a yarn install and a docker build.
My dockerfile is nothing special; it has a COPY and ENTRYPOINT.
When I run circleci build on my MacBook Air using Docker Native, I get the following error:
Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix://[...]
If I change the docker build . command to: sudo docker build ., everything works as planned, locally, with circleci build.
However, pushing this change to CircleCI will result in an error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
So, to summarize: using sudo works, locally, but not on CircleCI itself. Not using sudo works on CircleCI, but not locally.
Is this something the CircleCI staff has to fix, or is there something I can do?
For reference, I have posted this question on the CircleCI forums as well.
I've created a workaround for myself.
In the very first step of the config.yml, I run this command:
if [[ $CIRCLE_SHELL_ENV == *"localbuild"* ]]; then
echo "This is a local build. Enabling sudo for docker"
echo sudo > ~/sudo
else
echo "This is not a local build. Disabling sudo for docker"
touch ~/sudo
fi
Afterwards, you can do this:
eval `cat ~/sudo` docker build .
Explanation:
The first snippet checks if the CircleCI-provided environment variable CIRCLE_SHELL_ENV contains localbuild. This is only true when running circleci build on your local machine.
If true, it creates a file called sudo with contents sudo in the home directory.
If false, it creates a file called sudo with NO contents in the home directory.
The second snippet opens the ~/sudo file, and executes it with the arguments you give afterwards. If the ~/sudo file contains "sudo", the command in this example will become sudo docker build ., if it doesn't contain anything, it will become docker build ., with a space before it, but that will be ignored.
This way, both the local (circleci build) builds and remote builds will work.
To iterate on the answer of Jeff Huijsmans,
an alternative version is to use a Bash variable for docker:
- run:
name: Set up docker
command: |
if [[ $CIRCLE_SHELL_ENV == *"localbuild"* ]]; then
echo "export docker='sudo docker'" >> $BASH_ENV
else
echo "export docker='docker'" >> $BASH_ENV
fi
Then you can use it in your config
- run:
name: Verify docker
command: $docker --version
You can see this in action in my test for my Dotfiles repository
Documentation about environment variables in CircleCi
You might also solve your issue by running the docker image as root. Specify user: root under the image parameter:
...
jobs:
build:
working_directory: ~/app
docker:
- image: circleci/node:8.4.0
user: root
steps:
- checkout
...
...
