the get_runner_reg.sh stopped working

[a-t-0]

Hi, thank you for providing an example on how to get the runner token in a .sh script. A few days ago it was working like a charm, however when running it today I noticed the second body_header variable is empty. Upon inspecting the gitlab-header.txt file, I noticed it contained:

You are being redirected.

Whereas I would expect it to be signed in at that point, with a gitlab-header.txt file that contains the respective runner registration token. I expect I am doing something wrong, however, perhaps there has been an update to the gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest package such that a change to the script is required.

For completeness, I hardcoded the email, username and password, and manually verified I was able to log into the GitLab server with those credentials:

GITURL="$GITLAB_SERVER_HTTP_URL"
   GITUSER="$gitlab_server_account"
   GITROOTPWD="$gitlab_server_password"
   echo "GITUSER=$GITUSER"
   echo "GITROOTPWD=$GITROOTPWD"

   # 1. curl for the login page to get a session cookie and the sources with the auth tokens
   body_header=$(curl -k -c gitlab-cookies.txt -i "${GITURL}/users/sign_in" -sS)
   
   # grep the auth token for the user login for
   #   not sure whether another token on the page will work, too - there are 3 of them
   csrf_token=$(echo $body_header | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /new_user.*?authenticity_token"[[:blank:]]value="(.+?)"/' | sed -n 1p)
   
   # 2. send login credentials with curl, using cookies and token from previous request
   curl -sS -k -b gitlab-cookies.txt -c gitlab-cookies.txt "${GITURL}/users/sign_in" \
   	--data "user[login]=${GITUSER}&user[password]=${GITROOTPWD}" \
   	--data-urlencode "authenticity_token=${csrf_token}"  -o /dev/null
   
   # 3. send curl GET request to gitlab runners page to get registration token
   body_header=$(curl -sS -k -H 'user-agent: curl' -b gitlab-cookies.txt "${GITURL}/admin/runners" -o gitlab-header.txt)
   reg_token=$(cat gitlab-header.txt | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /code id="registration_token">(.+?)</' | sed -n 1p)
   echo $reg_token

hello @a-t-0
i recently pinned this demo to a specific k8s gitlab version since it did appear to break with a newer version of gitlab.
Here is the version I am using (via helm) - https://github.com/MxNxPx/gitlab-cicd-demo/blob/master/README.md#using-helm---install-gitlab-to-minikube
Hope this helps!
