I’ve got a local Gitlab installation.
I set up a build/test/deploy pipeline for an ASP.NET Core project using a build agent.
Everything runs under Windows.
Very often, the deployment step fails during the automatic git clean pre-everything step that the Gitlab process does.
I see the process is deleting the files and folders and gets stuck on a particular file with an “invalid argument” error.
Retrying the step then makes it pass.
Because the error happens before the pre-script hooks and anything user-dependent there’s nothing I can do.
Is there a missing setting or something I could do to get around the issue?
