I’m running gitlab-runner locally to test my .gitlab-ci.yaml file but it cannot find the repository. It tries to clone it from a local path that doesn’t exist:
gitlab-runner exec docker --docker-privileged --docker-cache-dir /tmp/gitlabrunner --docker-volumes /tmp/gitlabrunner:/tmp/gitlabrunner --docker-volumes /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock test-buildRuntime platform arch=amd64 os=linux pid=9421 revision=d9b83537 version=11.10.0~beta.1315.gd9b83537

Could you help me on this please? I don’t understand…
the deprecation warning shouldn’t be the cause of your problem. You’re running v.11.10 and that should be compatible with your version of gitlab. Gitlab-runner have an option to turn on more logging, that should reveal the repo url you’re trying to clone.
I had the same problem and it was related to fetching submodules. Never got a good workaround, stuck to running CI only in the runners (having to push), never directly on my working copy.
It’s not just submodules anymore - the latest version 11.11.0 is now refusing to clone the repository that it’s being run in despite the reported path being correct.

But then I did as suggested above and downgraded to version 11.10.0
