Problem with pipeline canceling

GitLab CI/CD
1

Hello.
I have a problem with the GitLab pipeline.
I expected the job BUILD-ETDCS to fail.
How to fix it?

Hi,

can you inspect the job which seems paused? Maybe the error is different, unrelated to the pipeline job failing earlier. For example, that there are no runners available which could execute this job with the tag linux-oe-g++.

Depending in how your runners are registered, either inspect instance, group or project level settings for CI/CD to verify them checking in, and the tags assigned.

Cheers,
Michael

@dnsmichi Thanks for your reply.
I expected - when the job unit-tests are failed then the pipeline is canceled/braked. But it did not happen. How do script it so as to with my expectations?

Before you start investigating the script, let’s figure out why the BUILD-ETDCS is paused (the yellow icon). As said, I suspect that the pipeline itself may have a problem, with no runners available to take on the job. Can you navigate into the job details and share a screenshot?

Cheers,
Michael
