Status from gitlab-ci not showing up anymore on gitlab merge request

Question

Gitlab-CI works perfectly as far as I can tell. It runs and does everything as it should, but gitlab itself doesn't show the status.

All I keep seeing is "Checking for CI status for x" with the spinner standing still.

The only clue I get is from the gitlab production.log when I open the page:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed):
  app/models/project_services/gitlab_ci_service.rb:39:in `commit_status'
  app/controllers/projects/merge_requests_controller.rb:165:in `ci_status'
  app/controllers/application_controller.rb:57:in `set_current_user_for_thread'

This is odd to say the least. Everything else works fine, so it doesn't seem systemic to gitlab as a whole.

Gitlab details:

GitLab 6.6.4
GitLab Shell 1.8.4
GitLab API v3
Ruby 1.9.3p194
Rails 4.0.3
GitLab CI 4.3.0 267edb0

I searched around and did not find similar problems. It's puzzling since it stopped working after an upgrade from 6.something to 6.6.4 in gitlab. This is not a critical piece, but removes some of the easy use of the CI server.

Answer 1

Maybe you're using self-signed certificates? I had to patch my Gitlab CI like this and then set config.verify_ssl = false. Edit: maybe I should make a pull request out of it? :)
