Fix Gilab runner error: listen_address not defined, metrics & debug endpoints disabled builds=0

The error is:

Configuration loaded builds=0
listen_address not defined, metrics & debug endpoints disabled builds=0
[session_server].listen_address not defined, session endpoints disabled builds=0
In gitlab runners allor “Run untagged jobs: Indicates whether this runner can pick jobs without tags”, set the checkbox correspondingly.

To fix it you should set the checkbox “Run untagged jobs” in Gitlab CI/CD settings.

But after executing the pipeline I have got the error:

ERROR: Job failed (system failure): prepare environment: failed to start process: exec: “pwsh”: executable file not found in %PATH%. Check https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/shells/index.html#shell-profile-loading for more information

The problem is connected with Windows & Powershell.

To register gitlab-runner with PowerShell you use the command like this:

./gitlab-runner.exe register –url https://gitlab.url.com/ –registration-token $REGISTRATION_TOKEN

After that config.toml is created.

If you choose “shell”, the strings are:

executor = “shell”
shell = “pwsh”

‘pwsh’ is a name for the new version of PowerShell, a lot of users with Windows 10 have previous version . So did I. You should modify strings in config.toml to:

executor = “shell”
shell = “powershell”

After that gitlab-runner started to work.
