What are you trying to accomplish

I'm running sitespeed with gitlab simple configuration https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/browser_performance_testing.html and I've used the option to use a specific profile which is 3g but when I check the settings I still get 'No connectivity settings'
Am I missing something ?

What browser did you use?

Chrome

How to reproduce

1. configure use this gitlab.yml 

stages:
  - tests

include:
  - template: Verify/Browser-Performance.gitlab-ci.yml  

browser_performance:
  stage: tests
  URL: https://example.com
  SITESPEED_OPTIONS : "--browsertime.connectivity.profile 3g "

2. run the pipeline
3. check the settings for connectivity or if the option exist in the job logs

Hi @NOuennich thanks for creating the issue. GitLab using Docker containers right for the CI? To get that to work the actual server needssudo modprobe ifb numifbs=1 and then the container needs to run with –cap-add=NET_ADMIN to be able to change the connectivity.

There are some documentation here:
https://www.sitespeed.io/documentation/sitespeed.io/connectivity/#throttle

I'm using the sitespeed.io container https://hub.docker.com/r/sitespeedio/sitespeed.io/ does it also need these additional steps ? I thought it's simply handled with the SITESPEED_OPTIONS in this case

The actual physical server at GitLab needs to run sudo modprobe ifb numifbs=1 so you need to ask their support and then the container needs to run with –cap-add=NET_ADMIN to give the container rights to change the connectivity, you need to ask the GitLab support how that is setup today.

Okey, thank you for your guidance.
