Environment description

Custom installation of CE

Used GitLab Runner version

gitlab-runner --version
Version:      9.0.0
Git revision: 08a9e6f
Git branch:   9-0-stable
GO version:   go1.7.5
Built:        Wed, 22 Mar 2017 16:29:52 +0000
OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

Had to downgrade to 1.11.1 with sudo apt install gitlab-ci-multi-runner=1.11.1 and restart Gitlab, as per https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/issues/2271#note_26090834.

This workaround activates the runner only on the main repo, but if I re-add the same runner on forks, it doesn't work anymore.

GitLab CE/EE 9.0.1 is out so problem of after_script should be resolved now :)
