Instead of simply running chmod on your local system, it's better to run git update-index --chmod=+x path/to/file. This adds an executable flag to a file in Git and should ensure that a script can be executed inside a GitLab pipeline.

bash /the-script.sh is the best solution afaik

You have to either:

1- Run bash ./test.sh

OR

2- Add the line #!/bin/bash to the top of test.sh so that it knows to run it within bash

The line 23 tells that it is trying to execute the script with /bin/bash, but it doesn't have the permissions.

Try to give execution permision to the file by running this command:

sudo chmod 755 test.sh
