Runners paused even when they are running

Hi,

If I run service gitlab-runner status on my server I have the following output:

● gitlab-runner.service - GitLab Runner

That looks like all is good but in the repo settings all works are paused

What am i missing here?

did you resolve this?

No,

I had to reinstall the workers.

Yah, I reinstalled as well, and all was good.

I think I was just running a worker version that was too old and some changes were made that made the older version incompatible. Lame, but it’s good now.
