Avoid common GitLab CI/CD mistakes — rules gotchas, silent failures, and YAML merge traps.
Avoid common GitLab CI/CD mistakes — rules gotchas, silent failures, and YAML merge traps.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
rules: and only:/except: can't mix — use one or the other per job First matching rule wins — put specific rules before general ones Missing when: defaults to on_success — rules: - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG runs on tag Empty rules array rules: [] means never run — different from no rules at all Add - when: never at end to prevent fallthrough — otherwise unmatched conditions may run
Protected variables missing on non-protected branches — job runs but variable is empty Runner tag mismatch — job stays pending forever with no error docker:dind on non-privileged runner — fails with cryptic Docker errors Masked variable format invalid — variable exposed in logs anyway
extends: doesn't deep merge arrays — scripts, variables arrays get replaced, not appended Use !reference [.job, script] to reuse — script: [!reference [.base, script], "my command"] include: files can override each other — last one wins for same keys Anchors &/* don't work across files — use extends: for cross-file reuse
Cache not guaranteed between runs — treat as optimization, not requirement Artifacts auto-download by stage — add dependencies: [] to skip if not needed needs: downloads artifacts by default — needs: [{job: x, artifacts: false}] to skip
Shared runners usually don't support privileged — need self-hosted or special config DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2375 required — job uses wrong Docker otherwise DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "" or configure TLS properly — half-configured TLS breaks builds
CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE differs by trigger — push, merge_request_event, schedule, api, trigger MR pipelines need rules: - if: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID — not just branch rules Detached vs merged result pipelines — detached tests source, merged tests result of merge
Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
Largest current source with strong distribution and engagement signals.
