We’re using Gitlab Kubernetes Runner based on the official Helm chart within an Azure Kubernetes Service for our CI/CD pipelines. Up until a few days ago, everything was working just fine, all projects were built successfully. We now suddenly encounter an issue where for one project the build sometimes works (re-running the same pipeline works sometimes), for the other project it doesn’t work consistently.
Looking at the logs, the spawned runner pod just stops without showing any error message at all. Please see logs below.
In the actual GitLab Runner pod, there’s not much logs to be seen:
Checking for jobs... received job=610 repo_url=https://<project-url> runner=ztdc_eMB
WARNING: Error streaming logs gitlab-runner/runner-ztdcemb-project-14-concurrent-0nqlm6/helper:/logs-14-610/output.log: command terminated with exit code 137. Retrying... job=610 project=14 runner=ztdc_eMB
WARNING: Error while executing file based variables removal script error=pod "runner-ztdcemb-project-14-concurrent-0nqlm6" (on namespace "gitlab-runner") is not running and cannot execute commands; current phase is "Failed" job=610 project=14 runner=ztdc_eMB

WARNING: Failed to process runner builds=0 error=pod "runner-ztdcemb-project-14-concurrent-0nqlm6" status is "Failed" executor=kubernetes runner=ztdc_eMB
Once the job is retrieved, a new pod for concurrent execution is spawned, containing two containers build
and helper
. The builder logs confuse me the most, everything seems normal, until the container simply goes into the “failed” state without any kind of error indication:

Why you should do it regularly:
https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist#browsers-data-updating
A few seconds after the last message, the container simply crashed. No more logs, no more information, its just gone. The last message about the browser data is an informational / warning message only. Its also there when building it locally, and there’s a few seconds of time between this message being printed and the container crashing.
The helper logs for completeness, although they’re not containing anything useful as far as I can tell:

Do you have any idea how I could to on and troubleshoot from there? The lack of any error indication drives me crazy a bit.
