I’m trying to create a Docker image for my build environment, and run a build locally by using gitlab-runner exec. Could someone please clarify for a n00b what concept I’ve gotten wrong?
My Docker image, named hughw/factordev:latest, is base Ubuntu 16.04, plus some libraries my build requires. The gitlab-runner successfully pulls that image, but then it seems that it does not attempt to execute the commands in my .gitlab-ci.yml on that image, but on the gitlab/gitlab-runner-helper image. So: is my expectation wrong? n00b here. I thought gitlab-runner would execute the make command on my image.
I am running this on macOS using the latest gitlab-runner and docker executables.
Here is a transcript of my attempt:
$ sudo gitlab-runner exec docker factor

My gitlab config.toml (something could be wrong in my set up, because gitlab-runner seemed to ignore the pull_policy… I had to push my image to Dockerhub before gitlab-runner would find it, despite my “never” setting).

Thanks in advance if anyone can point out my error.
[Edited to fix error in image attribute in config.toml, that still had no effect on the outcome]
