gitlab-ci can't find config/database.yml, although it's not supposed to exist in my repo

I'm trying to create gitlab-ci file for my Rails project.

Here's a part of my .gitlab-ci.yml:

before_script:
- apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -yqq nodejs libmysqlclient-dev
- ruby -v
- which ruby
- gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
- bundle install --jobs $(nproc) "$FLAGS[@]"
- bundle exec rake db:create db:schema:load
- bundle exec rake db:migrate --quiet


And the error is:

Could not load database configuration. No such file - ["config/database.yml"]


On my local machine and server the files config/database.yml are present.

"config/database.yml" doesn't exist in the repo and isn't supposed too. It's added in gitignore

Only the default config/database.example.yml exists in my repo. And it doesn't contain the real credentials of my db.

config/database.example.yml

How can I fix it?

You have 2 alternatives:

Put on that script to copy the .example.yml to database.yml and use the environment variables to set the config:
e.g:

.example.yml

database.yml

production:
username: <%= ENV['DB_USERNAME'] %>
host: <%= ENV['DB_HOST'] %>
etc...


create a script to generate this file for you with data hardcoded or from the environment and call on gitlab-ci.yml.

gitlab-ci.yml
