Bash is not a login shell

I'm using Debian 7. I've installed version 0.4.2 according to the instruction. I saw it has been fixed (or should be so), but I still get a non-login shell. Is there is something I could do wrong?

Here's my test script:

spec:
  script:
  - "[[ $- == *i* ]] && echo 'Interactive' || echo 'Not interactive'"
  - "shopt -q login_shell && echo 'Login shell' || echo 'Not login shell'"
  - rvm -v
  - rvm use $(cat .ruby-version)
  - ruby -v

And what I get in build log:

gitlab-ci-multi-runner 0.4.2 (1e86428)

RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.

You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for an example.

ruby -v
ruby 2.2.1p85 (2015-02-26 revision 49769) [x86_64-linux]

Build succeeded.

Thanks. Will look into it.

Presumably this is related to the issue I mentioned in #87 (closed)?

You could load rvm env to solve your issue:

  - source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

@gpr did you try that in practice? When I try to source anything I just get all the contents of that file right in my build log, despite the fact it has been "sourced" successfully. It is the normal behaviour as I can see there: https://ci.gitlab.com/projects/1885/builds/124710 (in any official build). Sorry, but rvm.sh is really huge for this.

@arantir I got exactly the same issue than you and I solved that by this way. Consider also that if the "bash --login" was executed by the gitlab-ci executor the script would be loaded anyway.

Note: depending on your rvm install you could also use:

- source $HOME/.rvm/script/rvm

FYI I used the gitlab-ci installer.

Please check if Bleeding Edge fixes problems for you. There's major rebuilt of security features, including the way how scripts are run.

Milestone changed to v0.5.0

@ayufan with this recent ef6ab4c shell in now a login shell. And build succeeds. But some other strange thing happens. Now I get a huge file (looks like rvm.sh) included in build log even if I just call rvm -v:

rvm -v
umask)
umask
\command \cat "$rvm_path/VERSION") ($(\command \cat "$rvm_path/RELEASE" 2>/dev/null))"
\command \cat "$rvm_path/RELEASE" 2>/dev/null))"
\command \cat "$rvm_path/VERSION") ($(\command \cat "$rvm_path/RELEASE" 2>/dev/null))
\command \cat "$rvm_path/VERSION"
\command \cat "$rvm_path/RELEASE" 2>/dev/null))
\command \cat "$rvm_path/RELEASE" 2>/dev/null
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Base is a collection of general files + commonly included setup functions.

#duplicated from scripts/rvm - rare reload issue
__rvm_has_opt()
{
  if # pre-gnu
   [[ -n "${ZSH_VERSION}"  ]]
  then
    setopt | GREP_OPTIONS="" \command \grep "^${1}$" >/dev/null 2>&1 || return $?

... few hundred lines later ...

Ah, but rvm does work?

This is due to: set -v.

Yes, rvm does work.

Ok, part of the problem is gone. Now the other one :)

@arantir I told you that by executing a login shell you will get the rvm.sh loaded. rvm is a command line but it is used through rvm functions that are loaded by sourcing its environment, that the way it works...

@gpr it's the way it works, but not how it should look like. Build log should look like a regular terminal session, being convenient and readable. The legacy gitlab-ci-runner works exactly like that, even if it provides non-login shell sourcing and rvm work without blowing up the output. So I expect that the opposite behaviour is more likely a bug.

@arantir I understand your remaining issue, it's the "echoing". Did you try to set 'disable_verbose' in your runner configuration?

@gpr With this config I don't see what commands were run at all. In many cases it's useful to know exact command (with arguments), especially for old builds.

@arantir @gpr Can you test bleeding edge release:

Please try one of these:

• https://gitlab-ci-multi-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/master/deb/gitlab-ci-multi-runner_i386.deb
• https://gitlab-ci-multi-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/master/deb/gitlab-ci-multi-runner_amd64.deb
• https://gitlab-ci-multi-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/master/deb/gitlab-ci-multi-runner_arm.deb
• https://gitlab-ci-multi-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/master/deb/gitlab-ci-multi-runner_armhf.deb

It should fix problems for you

@ayufan oh, highlighted prompt is super cool. Indeed, it does fix all mentioned problems.

• Login shell fixed.
• Sourcing superfluous output fixed.
• rvm function superfluous output fixed.
• Bash evaluation (e.g. rvm use $(cat .ruby-version)) broken output fixed.

I have used 0.4.2-55-g7ca1573-beta (7ca1573) if it matters.

Great

Status changed to closed

Meet the same problem. Add source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh to .gitlab-ci.yml can make rvm work.

Why it's still not a login shell?

I'm using CentOS 7, gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.0.4, and docker executor.

When docker is used the normal shell is used.

@ayufan Is there any simple workaround to make it a login shell? I really don't want to change .gitlab-ci.yml in every project.
