currently dies like this

Traceback (most recent call last):
        4: from /usr/local/bin/miniexec:23:in `<main>'
        3: from /usr/local/bin/miniexec:23:in `load'

should maybe throw a human readable error along the lines of $job is not defined in $workflow.yml

Just thought I'd mention that I tried to do the same in rust when we used gitlab at a previous place: https://github.com/gilescope/hamster

Will have to compare notes sometime.

On MacOS, using gem 3.2.15, the installation works fine:

gem install miniexec
Successfully installed miniexec-0.0.6
Parsing documentation for miniexec-0.0.6
Done installing documentation for miniexec after 0 seconds
1 gem installed

However miniexec does not seem to land in the known PATH and does not land into /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/.

I tried another gem (bundler), the install went fine as well, but the bundler executable did land in /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/.

After a fresh install, I somehow missed the dependencies.

The workaround was to install them manually:

gem install docker-api git

This is no option to answer the question "Do I have the latest version ?"

.gitlab-ci.yml may contain a directive like

include:
 - path/to/foo.yml

feature request/suggestion:
merge the yaml files from the include directive into the main yml, to make jobs defined in those available to miniexec

YAML anchors combined with reference tags (i.e stuff like before_script directives) are currently unsupported (or i've successfully broken it locally) and instead get called as if they were shell code
