Gitlab-runner local build - login from non TTY device

Question

I'm trying to build my project locally using gitlab-runner on Linux.

docker-build:   stage: build   image: docker:latest   script:     - docker login -u "gitlab-ci-token" -p "$CI_JOB_TOKEN" $CI_REGISTRY # user "gitlab-ci-token" is automatically created by GitLab     - docker build -t "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" target/     - docker push "$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" 

Unfortunately my attempts end with error about "docker login" not being able to perform interactive login from non-TTY device.

$ gitlab-ci-multi-runner exec docker --docker-privileged docker-build Running with gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.11.1 (a67a225)   on  () Using Docker executor with image docker:latest ... Starting service docker:dind ... Pulling docker image docker:dind ... Waiting for services to be up and running... Pulling docker image docker:latest ... Running on runner--project-1-concurrent-0 via vanqyard... Cloning repository... Cloning into '/builds/project-1'... done. Checking out 70187b2d as docker-basic-conf... Skipping Git submodules setup Checking cache for docker-build/docker-basic-conf... Successfully extracted cache $ docker login -u "gitlab-ci-token" -p "$CI_JOB_TOKEN" $CI_REGISTRY Error: Cannot perform an interactive login from a non TTY device ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1 FATAL: exit code 1  

My question is has anybody stumbled upon this issue and how to succesfunlly perform build?

Answer 1

Probably not linked to the problem here, but some people might encounter the exact same message when trying a docker login from a Linux like terminal on Windows such as Git bash or Docker quickstart terminal or even Cygwin.

The trick here is to use winpty docker login
