Rsync failing on MacOS with Colima

Open jaypan13 opened this issue 1 month ago • 8 comments

First of all thank you so much for this opensourced wonderful tool! This is helping community a lot.

Minimal .gitlab-ci.yml illustrating the issue

---
Testing:
  image: "alpine:latest"
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo DIND_VERSION="TEST" >> variables.env
    - cat variables.env
  artifacts:
    reports:
      dotenv: variables.env

Expected behavior Artifacts should get copied.

Host information MacOs Sequoia gitlab-ci-local 4.62.0 Bash 5.2.37 Node version - v24.9.0

Containerd binary Using colima (containerd containerd.io 1.7.24 88bf19b2105c8b17560993bee28a01ddc2f97182)

Additional context I have installed rsync via npm and brew on host machine. This is happening with all normal jobs or DIND jobs. Also installed rsync on colima ssh VM just to see if it requires rsync on colima vm. I do not have other machine to test. I am not sure where I need to install rsync.

Please provide bash --version

@firecow I thought I added it to my original post already but probably you required full version information.

And from which PC/Server or VM do you execute your gitlab-ci-local command, when this error happens?

Either your VM or you host doesn't have rsync installed.

@firecow I understand that it is not installed "somewhere" but I sent the screenshot with rsync version on both mac and colima earlier here.
