Question

any one got same issue ?and how to fix it ?

Answer 1

Register the runner without sudo, and that should set the gitlab-runner to run as your current user.

So steps should be:

sudo curl --output /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner https://gitlab-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/binaries/gitlab-runner-darwin-amd64

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner

gitlab-runner register ...

gitlab-runner install

Remember to stop your sudo gitlab-runner service otherwise you could have multiple runners on the same machine fighting for the same jobs.
