ModernCV does not display gitlab icon only in classic style

Question

MWE:
documentclass[10pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
moderncvstyle{classic}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
name{Short}{LongName}
email{asdf@gmail.com}
phone[mobile]{+1123456789}
 homepage{www.johndoe.com}
social[linkedin]{asdf}
 social[twitter]{asdf}
social[github]{asdf}
social[gitlab]{asdf}

begin{document}
    makecvtitle
end{document}

But it works for all other styles - casual, banking, oldstyle, fancy.
My system is Arch Linux and my editor is TexStudio

In the classic style you can enter the Gitlab icon and link using the three-argument version of social, with a second optional argument for the full url.
The icons in the classic style are found in the marvosym package, whereas the other styles use fontawesome for the icons. Marvosym does not have a Gitlab icon, so if you want this icon in the classic style then you need to load fontawesome and define the icon command for moderncv.
MWE:
documentclass[10pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
moderncvstyle{classic}
% load fontawesome icons
usepackage{fontawesome}
% set the moderncv command for the Gitlab icon
% create command if it does not exist
providecommand*{gitlabsocialsymbol}{}
% set command to faGitlab from fontawesome
renewcommand*{gitlabsocialsymbol}{{scriptsizefaGitlab}~}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
name{Short}{LongName}
email{asdf@gmail.com}
phone[mobile]{+1123456789}
 homepage{www.johndoe.com}
social[linkedin]{asdf}
social[twitter]{asdf}
social[github]{asdfhub}
% set full url for the link
social[gitlab][www.gitlab.com/asdflab]{asdflab}

begin{document}
    makecvtitle
end{document}

Result:

ModernCV does not display gitlab icon only in classic style
