gitlab runner fails at with Error: GitLab API not found

I am trying to test CML on a locally deployed GitLab server. I setup the token which seems to work. However, the pipeline fails due to an API error on “cml-send-comment”

Running with gitlab-runner 13.10.0 (54944146)

Setting the node variable solved it.

cml-send-comment report.md
(node:10) Warning: Setting the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED environment variable to '0' makes TLS connections and HTTPS requests insecure by disabling certificate verification.

thanks a lot!

@Chichilele also probably you should setup this enviroonment variable to overcome that insecure SSL in the workflow or in the CI as env variable

export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
