<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>I'm trying to get GitLab CI tests working for <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/elasticsearch_connector">the Elasticsearch Connector module</a> in the issue fork for issue <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/elasticsearch_connector/issues/3279558" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#3279558: Support ElasticSearch 8</a></span>. </p>
<p>Similar to <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_opensearch">the Search API OpenSearch module</a>, I have been trying to get ElasticSearch version 8 running as a <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/services/">GitLab CI service</a>. Note that on <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/git/using-gitlab-to-contribute-to-drupal/gitlab-ci#s-overriding-parts-of-the-template">the <em>GitLab CI</em> documentation page, in the <em>Overriding parts of the template</em> section</a>, list item 7 says...</p>
<blockquote><p>
To use your own services (e.g Redis, memcache, etc), override the `services` key in the jobs you care about. See <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/search_api_opensearch/-/blob/2.x/.gitlab-ci.yml">search_api_opensearch</a>. You can also install code into the default web container if you need client extensions and so on. See MongoDB. The before_script and after_script keywords are not used by the template so feel free to use them, as MongoDB does.
</p></blockquote>
<p>... i.e.: the documentation page cites the service added in <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/search_api_opensearch/-/blob/2.x/.gitlab-ci.yml#L57-59">the search_api_opensearch's phpunit job services override section</a> as an example of what to do.</p>
<p>I <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/elasticsearch_connector/-/merge_requests/39/diffs?commit_id=48510d43a87cb1ff00730357161897b5b08cec83">tried that</a> and after <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/elasticsearch_connector/-/commit/d8382417c4b2140ccba2cf672ef9728151bc8497">a syntax fix</a> it <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/elasticsearch_connector-3279558/-/jobs/829266#L74">failed because it was unable to connect to the elasticsearch service</a>, and continues to do so to date.</p>
<p>Since that commit, I have been trying <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/elasticsearch_connector/-/merge_requests/39/commits?commit_id=48510d43a87cb1ff00730357161897b5b08cec83">a number of different ways of configuring it</a> (<a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/elasticsearch_connector/-/blob/c9988fb6b16a30b766667f1551383046431de38c/.gitlab-ci.yml#L111-156">here is the latest code at time-of-writing</a>) to no avail. The <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/elasticsearch_connector-3279558/-/jobs/918275">most recent job output</a>, with <a href="https://forum.gitlab.com/t/how-can-i-capture-logs-from-a-gitlab-ci-runners-service/33736">CI_DEBUG_SERVICES: "true"</a> set, doesn't even show logs for the elasticsearch service, which makes me wonder whether the elasticsearch service that I defined is running at all.</p>
<p>I should mention that I have been <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/git/using-gitlab-to-contribute-to-drupal/gitlab-ci#s-running-gitlab-ci-containers-locally">running this pipeline locally with the gitlab-ci-local package / drupal-ci-local alias from the documentation page</a>, and it has been working fine locally.</p>
<p>It's almost as if the elasticsearch container image needs to be allow-listed before it can be used. That would make sense to me, but if that is the case, it's not documented anywhere, and it's not clear who I should reach out to help.</p>
<p>If someone (especially, someone on the infrastructure team) knows what's going on and/or what I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate their insight... at this point I'm stuck and not sure what else to try.</p>
