Rule fails without a reason

GitLab CI/CD
,
1

Hello,

I am writing integration tests for my project, which are attached as an extra rule to my existing pipeline.
The pipeline installs the python project, runs unit-tests and makes the sphinx docs without a problem.
The new rule for the integration tests however, always fails without a reason when I try to make a C++ library that my project depends on.
The make command is pretty ordinary and there are no errors or warnings during the build, and the return value is 0.
The rule is marked as failed after the make command and no logs are left.
I cannot run anything after the make command to check what’s wrong.

Is it a known issue?
How to make sure that the rule will proceed even if there is a problematic command?

Thanks.

Can you please post your gitlab-ci.yml file?

It works without the meerkat script, but my tests will fail, obviously.

From the Job log it seems that this step failed, exit code was 1

This is my question, I don’t understand from where this return 1 comes from.
The logs of the make command indicate that it was successful, but the job suddenly fails after it.
I checked the return values locally and I haven’t found anything except 0.

I have tried to silence the return values, but maybe I haven’t done it properly.
Is there a commonly used method to avoid non-zero return values at gitlab pipelines?
What else can cause this behavior?

you can set CI_DEBUG_TRACE: "true" variable in the job to get more verbose output of whats going on

run-validation:
  variables:
    CI_DEBUG_TRACE: "true"
...

Thanks. I have a debug logs from the job, but I don’t know what to look for. Reason is still not clear and there are no obvious errors or warnings it seems.
Could you please tell me what to look for there?

Also, using echo $? I checked the return values of the commands in the failing script and they are all 0’s.

If you can’t determine the reason from job log, it’s time to look at the Runner. You are using your own Runner so you need to look there why the job fails.

Look into Runner logs, look into Docker logs.
