I have gitlab ci job for nodejs application I am using docker container to run node -version 8. Also, I am mounting gitlab build directory to docker. When I do npm install inside docker node_modules get root privilege. As build directory is mounted new “node_modules” get visible in build directory. Problem comes when gitlab-runner tries to fetch new changes and while fetching it remove node_modules but it gives permission denied and job stop. I tried using cache and artifact to skip node_module but no luck. I also tried changing permission of node_modules in gitlab-ci.yml after and before script.
error
