I'm trying to run this pipeline:

stages:
  – build
  – deploy

get_packer:
  stage: build
  artifacts:
    paths:
    – packer
  script:
    – echo "Fetching packer"
    – wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/packer/1.5.5/packer_1.5.5_linux_amd64.zip -O packer.zip
    - unzip -o packer.zip -d packer
    - cd packer
    - chmod +x packer

deploy_centos-7:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    – echo "Deploying CentOS 7"
    – cd packer
    – ./packer build centos/centos-7.json

Stage build completes successfuly but I get this at the deploy stage:

Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/gitlab-runner/builds/c04fe5cf/0/project/pak/.git/
Checking out 43dsq6aa as refs/merge-requests/3292/head...
Removing packer.zip
Removing packer/packer

And obviously failed because

./packer: No such file or directory

I don't understand why this files fetched from build get removed?

GitLab is cleaning the working directory between two subsequent jobs. That's why you have to use artifacts and dependencies to pass files between jobs.

stages:
  – build
  – deploy

get_packer:
  stage: build
  artifacts:
    paths:
    – packer
  script:
    – echo "Fetching packer"
    – wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/packer/1.5.5/packer_1.5.5_linux_amd64.zip -O packer.zip
    - unzip -o packer.zip -d packer
    - cd packer
    - chmod +x packer

deploy_centos-7:
  stage: deploy
  dependencies:
    - build
  script:
    – echo "Deploying CentOS 7"
    – cd packer
    – ./packer build centos/centos-7.json
