This article will guide you through resolving this issue.
Error Cause
This error occurs when xcpretty
fails to process a string from the xcodebuild
log output, causing xcpretty
to crash and preventing xcodebuild
from outputting the log.
Solution
You can address this issue by properly setting the locale for gitlab-runner
. Follow the steps below.
(1) Open the ~/Library/LaunchAgents/gitlab-runner.plist file.
(2) Add the EnvironmentVariables as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<!-- omission -->
<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>LC_ALL</key>
<string>en_US.UTF-8</string>
</dict>
</dict>
Restart your machine, or you can relaunch the gitlab-runner as show below.
