node.js - I cannot get my CI/CD deploy job to complete successfully

Question

I've been working at this for a lot longer than I want to admit, but I cannot get my deploy to staging job to succeed. I've looked over as much documentation as I could find, and tried to follow any examples, but still no dice. At this point I get a lot of permission denied errors when removing files, and I have set the runner to be in the same group with rwx permissions as the destination and source directories. Here is my gitlab-ci.yml file,

stages:
  - build
  - deploy

build:
  stage: build
  tags:
    - Build PWA
  script:
    - echo "Building Deploy Package"
    - npm install
    - npm run build
    - echo "Build successful"
  artifacts:
    expire_in: 1 hour
    paths:
      - build
  only:
    - master


deploy_staging:
  stage: deploy
  tags:
    - Deploy Staging
  script:
    - echo "Deploying to server"

    - rsync -av --delete /home/gitlab-runner/builds/qRT2eXnz/0/AssemblersInc/developers/fubar /home/root1/example/
    - echo "Deployed"
  environment:
    name: staging
    url: <redacted>
  only:
    - master

And here is what I get as the response:

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

For anyone who is curious I discovered that my folders had multiple users and permission sets.
This occurred because I was in the server a while back working on some issues with the server and I manually ran npm install etc. This broke my permissions. The output

rsync: delete_file: unlink(fubar/node_modules/zenscroll/package.json) failed: Permission denied (13) was the clue. I navigated to my directory ran an ls -l <directory> and this is what was returned:

/example> ls -l fubar
total 1144
-rw-r--r-- 1 gitlab-runner users    586 Jan  6 14:50 adalConfig.js
drwxrwxr-x 1 user1         wheel     16 Dec  3 09:52 api

-rw-r--r-- 1 gitlab-runner users   2495 Jan  6 14:50 package.json

I then ran sudo chown -R gitlab-runner fubar and all is now working.
