How can I set environment variable for Proxy in .gitlab-ci.yml file?

I am new to GitLab CI. I am trying to run automated tests using selenium in docker containers. I have got the gitlab runner set . I am able to execute a basic test but some of my tests need proxy server. These fail when run in containers.

I tried to add the below in .gitlab-ci.yml file but this doesn't seem to help.

before_script:
  - export HTTP_PROXY="myproxy:port"
  - export HTTPS_PROXY="myproxy:port"

I don't have access to gitlab runner's config.toml file to set the proxy there.

Could you please help on how to set the proxy from .gitlab-ci.yml file ? Also, can I exclude sites which don't need proxy ?Thanks!

gitlab gitlab-ci-runner docker proxy

You got it right, the proxy environment variables will be available in the script part of the job. If you need to exclude some hosts you can use NO_PROXY.

job1:
  before_script:
    - export HTTP_PROXY="http://myproxy:port"
    - export HTTPS_PROXY="http://myproxy:port"
    - export NO_PROXY=".noproxy.com,.noproxy2.com"
  script:
    - env | grep PROXY

If the environment variables are actually used by your Selenium implementation is other thing, but you have not specified how are you using selenium (Python or Java).
