A job fails, and the log shows the following sequence: 'Running before_script...', 'Running script...', 'Running after_script...'. The job status is 'failed', but the log does not show any error messages. What is the most likely cause?

A command in the 'script' section returned a non-zero exit code, but its output was suppressed.

The job was canceled by a user.

The runner lost connection to the GitLab instance.

The 'after_script' section failed, causing the job to fail.

A team uses a shared runner for all jobs. One job consistently fails with 'fatal: unable to access ... Could not resolve host'. Other jobs on the same runner succeed. The failing job runs a script that uses 'git clone' to fetch a repository from an external service. What is the most likely cause?

The runner does not have the correct SSL certificates.

The external service is not reachable from the runner's network.

The runner's DNS settings are misconfigured.

The job's script has a typo in the repository URL.

A job fails with the error 'fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.com/group/project.git/': Could not resolve host: gitlab.com'. The job runs on a shared runner. What is the most likely cause?

The repository URL is incorrect in the job configuration.

The runner does not have the correct authentication credentials.

The runner has no network access to the internet.

The job is trying to clone a non-existent repository.
