If one runs the command until last week or so it exited (with failure) but pointed out that it is deprecated and provided a link to https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/index.html https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/index.html gitlab-runner register documentation pages that once again stated the obvious. No difference at all. Then you rerun the command - same bounce out. No clue. The docs linked at the URL still say to use the --registration-token. finally (after digging into stackexchange and gitlab issue) one needs to run the command without --non-interactive No where in the documentation it (until last week) that this should be removed for registering a runner as of today (last few months).
