Flutter app: GitLab CI local runner with shell fails to find git command

Question

I am trying to automate a build but I can't get through the test stage. I have found a template for flutter app for the ".gitlab-ci.yml" and set up a local runner with shell.

I already have included the git path to the environment and I can use git in the powershell. I can't get the job to succeed. It doesn't seem to find the git command.

Here is the .gitlab-ci.yml file:

code_quality:
  stage: test
  image: "cirrusci/flutter:1.22.5"
  before_script:
    - pub global activate dart_code_metrics
    - export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
  script:
    - metrics lib -r codeclimate  > gl-code-quality-report.json
  artifacts:
    reports:
      codequality: gl-code-quality-report.json

This is the config of the runner:

concurrent = 2
check_interval = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "local laptop"
  url = deleted
  token = deleted
  executor = "shell"
  shell = "powershell"
  [runners.custom_build_dir]
  [runners.cache]
    [runners.cache.s3]
    [runners.cache.gcs]
    [runners.cache.azure]

And this is the error:

Thank you in advance!

Based on the error message, it sounds like git isn't installed or available to the GitLab Runner. You will need to install git if you have not, add it to the PATH variable, and restart Powershell. See the following post, as I believe it is relevant to your situation: Git is not recognized in Windows gitlab ci.

The root of this problem could also be a PATH issue. Add Get-Item Env:PATH to your scripts section and inspect the output of a GitLab job to verify PATH is being set correctly. Relevant post: How to print env vars in PowerShell?

code_quality:
  stage: test
  image: "cirrusci/flutter:1.22.5"
  before_script:
    - pub global activate dart_code_metrics
    - export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin" # <- This doesn't seem right
    - $Env:Path += ";$HOME\.pub-cache\bin" # <- Try this, instead
  script:
    - Get-Item Env:Path  # <- output contents of PATH variable
    - metrics lib -r codeclimate  > gl-code-quality-report.json
  artifacts:
    reports:
      codequality: gl-code-quality-report.json

Thank you very much it solved those 2 problems. I followed also the other posts that you kindly pasted: - I reinstalled git in C: as an admin. (it was only in my user) - Also modified the export line as you suggested Now the new problem is: it doesn't find the "pub" command. I will search it in other posts. — Hector Sanchez Tejada, Apr 25 '22 at 13:00
