(False Positive) Running docker-compose with gitlab-ci: Build job fails but pipeline succeeds

Question

I am trying to get gitlab-ci to run my docker-compose file to build the integration environment, run the tests, and then either success or fail.

The dockerfile for my integration tests:

FROM maven:3.5.4-jdk-8
VOLUME /tmp
COPY / /tmp
WORKDIR /tmp
CMD mvn clean verify -P integration-test

Docker compose file:

services:
  integration:
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: docker/integration/Dockerfile
    container_name: app_integration
    restart: always

gitlab-ci.yml:

integration_tests:
  stage: test
  only:
    - branches
  script:
    - docker-compose -f docker-compose.integration-test.yml up --exit-code-from=integration --force-recreate

Console output:

Job succeeded

Right now, I'm running a single test which runs an assert false test, and should fail. However, I cannot get the pipeline to fail as it is "supposed to."

Answer 1

The problem was the restart: always

I removed this, and it started working as desired.
