When a non-owner dev pushes a branch to our Gitlab repo, it returns a "pipeline failed" message, with the detail "Pipeline failed due to the user not being verified". On the dev's account, he's getting a prompt to add a credit card to verify him to be eligible for free pipeline minutes.
But I haven't set up any pipelines - I don't have a gitlab-ci.yml file in my repo, neither does the new branch. There are no jobs or schedules under the CI/CD tab of the project on Gitlab. So why is there a marker saying the branch failed in the pipeline?
For all those still wondering, I contacted Gitlab recently & apparently it's an open issue with them. They said it's possible to merge the branches anyway, but in the end we just added the credit card details anyway (there was a temporary charge). Not ideal, but hopefully will get sorted soon.
