'This GitLab CI configuration is invalid: root config contains unknown keys: tags
I am trying to run a simple python project on Gitlab. I setup a runner on an EC2 instance and I am trying to use it for the project. This is the .gitlab-ci.yml file:
tags:
- gr
- grun
- runner
stages:
- build
build:
image: python:3.7
script:
- echo "building"
- pip install -r requirements.txt
- python test.py
I get this error-
This GitLab CI configuration is invalid: root config contains unknown keys: tags
I get the same error when I use jobs and environment in the .gitlab-ci.yml file. The runner is active. How to fix this issue?
Solution 1:[1]
If you see a Ci Gitlab documentation, Tags is not a root config.
Solution 2:[2]
You can't use tags as root element. Only these are allowed root keywords:
| Keyword | Description |
|---|---|
| default | Custom default values for job keywords. |
| include | Import configuration from other YAML files. |
| stages | The names and order of the pipeline stages. |
| variables | Define CI/CD variables for all job in the pipeline. |
| workflow | Control what types of pipeline run. |
If you want to define default tags, you must include a default section:
stages:
- build
default:
tags:
- gr
- grun
- runner
build:
stage: build
image: python:3.7
script:
- echo "building"
- pip install -r requirements.txt
- python test.py
