GitLab CI Shell Executor Failing Builds With No Such Directory

Featured image for sharing metadata for article

Tonight I've been playing around with GitLab CI's shell executor, and my builds have been failing with this error:

Running with gitlab-runner 13.0.1 (21cb397c)
  on gitlab-runner 9vpTPhFS
Preparing the "shell" executor
00:00
Using Shell executor...
Preparing environment
00:00
Running on gitlab-runner...
Uploading artifacts for failed job
00:00
bash: line 92: cd: /home/gitlab-runner/builds/9vpTPhFS/0/jamietanna/jvt.me: No such file or directory
ERROR: Job failed: exit status 1

This is odd, because the path /home/gitlab-runner/builds/9vpTPhFS/0/jamietanna/jvt.me.tmp existed, just not without the .tmp suffix.

After some searching online, this comment noted that it's an issue with SKEL - the solution was to delete .bash_logout from the gitlab-runner user's home, but I also removed .bashrc and .profile.
