💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using programming language syntax instead of shell commands.

Adding extra keywords like 'run' or 'execute' which are not valid here.

The script section in GitLab CI expects shell commands like echo Hello World.

Complete the code to specify the stage for a GitLab CI job.

Jenkins

  stage: [1]
  script:
    - echo Running job

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using invalid stage names like 'execute' or 'run'.

Confusing stage with script commands.

The stage keyword defines the phase like build, test, or deploy. build is a common stage name.

Fix the error in the GitLab CI job to correctly specify the image to use.

Jenkins

job_name:
  image: [1]
  script:
    - echo Hello

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Bdocker image

Calpine:latest

Ddocker_latest

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using spaces in the image name.

Using underscores instead of colons.

The image keyword expects a valid Docker image name like alpine:latest.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a GitLab CI job that runs only on the master branch and uses a specific runner tag.

Jenkins

job_name:
  script:
    - echo Deploying
  only:
    - [1]
  tags:
    - [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Amaster

Bmain

Cdocker-runner

Dshell-runner

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect branch names.

Using runner tags that do not exist.

The only keyword limits the job to the master branch. The tags specify which runner to use, like docker-runner.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a GitLab CI job with a cache path, a before_script, and a retry policy.

Jenkins

job_name:
  before_script:
    - [1]
  script:
    - echo Build
  cache:
    paths:
      - [2]
  retry: [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Anpm install

Bnode_modules/

C2

Dnpm run build

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Putting main build commands in before_script.

Using invalid cache paths.

Setting retry to a non-numeric value.

before_script runs commands before the main script, like npm install. The cache saves directories like node_modules/ to speed up builds. The retry sets how many times to retry on failure.
