Morning everyone! I've set up a very simple Gitlab pipeline with a single job that simply runs

./pants --version

. The job keeps failing with the error below. Wondering if there is some additional bootstrapping needed for Gitlab or if maybe this issue could be due to network restrictions within the runner? Error:

$ $CI_PROJECT_DIR/pants --version

Cleaning up file based variables

.gitlab-ci.yml:

image:  path_to_enterprise_image
default:
    tags: ['edopplatform-v3-dev-runner']

stages:
    - setup-pants

setup-pants-job:
    stage: setup-pants
    script:
        - $CI_PROJECT_DIR/pants --version

maybe tweak the pants script to be more verbose to see the exact failure? you can do that by changing

set -eou pipefail

to

set -eoux pipefail

also make sure the image has

python3-distutils

and

python3-dev

i.e. your CI image build script should have something like:

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y \
    curl gcc libssl-dev git unzip python3-distutils python3-dev && \
    apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Perfect! I'll give this a shot this week and report back. Thank you!
