Pipeline runner unregistered when run as k8s job

[Roman Verchikov]

Hello experts,

I'm trying to run bitbucket pipeline runner on my laptop as kubernetes job as described in runners FAQ (I use standard single-node deployment provided with Docker Desktop for Mac).

The runner is executed successfully, and I can see these lines in k8s logs which get updated every 30 seconds:

+ ./entrypoint.sh

However, when I navigate to the repository this runner is set up for (repo settings -> pipelines -> runners), the runner appears to be in UNREGISTERED state.

How do I troubleshoot what the problem is?

When I run the `docker run` command generated by bitbucket during registration of new runner on my laptop, everything works fine and runner appears in ONLINE state. This is the output from `docker run` command generated by bitbucket (note the absence of "... and checking for new steps assigned..." logs):

My mistake. Missed REPOSITORY_UUID in k8s Job definition. 🤦‍♂️
