Problem downloading cache

Behavior

When I run my pipeline I get an error which seems to stem from downloading the cache. The strange thing is that I ran the exact same pipeline with the same .gitlab-ci.yml 5 days ago and it worked.

Config

  • Using GitLab.com
  • Just took the Python CI example and simplified it to only run black on the code
.gitlab-ci.yml
# Official language image. Look for the different tagged releases at:
# https://hub.docker.com/r/library/python/tags/
image: python:latest

# Change pip's cache directory to be inside the project directory since we can
# only cache local items.
variables:
  PIP_CACHE_DIR: "$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.cache/pip"

# Pip's cache doesn't store the python packages
# https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/caching/
#
# If you want to also cache the installed packages, you have to install
# them in a virtualenv and cache it as well.
cache:
  paths:
    - .cache/pip
    - venv/

before_script:        # Array of commands that should run before each job’s script commands, but after artifacts are restored
  - python --version  # For debugging
  - python -m venv venv
  - source venv/bin/activate
  - cd Code

stages:          # List of stages for jobs, and their order of execution
  - test

black:
  stage: test
  script:
    - pip install black
    - black --check -- sikou examples benches

Additional steps

I looked at the url where the runner is trying to download the cache from and it yields an error.

Error
<Error>
  <Code>AccessDenied</Code>
  <Message>Access denied.</Message>
  <Details>
    Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object. Permission 'storage.objects.get' denied on resource (or it may not exist).

</Error>

If anybody has any clue as to what is going on that would be awesome :slight_smile:
