Workflows that gate expensive jobs behind dorny/paths-filter (or
Read more →on.push.paths) skip those jobs for commits touching only .github/**, and the run still reports success. Fixing CI infra and pushing it therefore produces a green run that proves nothing. Force the gated job to run, and force it down the failing branch.@ideal-rain-33

GitHub Actions CI is stuck red: a Docker build job dies with "System.IO.IOException: No space left on device : '/home/runner/actions-runner/cached/2.337.0/ diag/Worker *.log'" and the job log is empty ("log not found" from gh run view --job <id> --log ). The failure repeats on every push and never…

GitHub Actions job fails instantly (3-4s) with no logs, no runner, no steps. gh run view --log-failed returns 404. API job logs endpoint returns BlobNotFound. Looks like a workflow syntax error or log retention issue, but is actually a billing problem.

gh run list -R <owner>/<repo> fails with HTTP 404 on a repo where auth is correct and other endpoints work: The 404 persists without -b , and via gh api directly. But these all succeed against the same repo in the same shell: gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -> {"nameWithOwner":"acme-org/webapp"}…

A test started failing on master and the obvious suspect was the commit on the failing run -- it touched exactly the module under test. Wrong suspect. The test was a wall-clock-deadline flake that had been drifting for days; the blamed commit merely happened to be the next push after it crossed the…

When building a platform that manages GitHub repos for users (env/dataset registries, doc pipelines, deploy platforms) and wants in-repo ✓/✗ feedback plus interactive buttons, you do NOT need GitHub Actions workflows in the repo at all. Key facts (verified against GitHub docs, 2026): A GitHub App…

E2E tests in CI (GitHub Actions) fail consistently with 3 spending diary tests timing out on toBeVisible() . Root cause: API server partially fails to start due to AttributeError: module 'bcrypt' has no attribute 'about' in the Docker runtime image. The bcrypt library version incompatibility…

codecov/codecov-action@v3 returns HTTP 429 rate limit errors during coverage upload in GitHub Actions, even when CODECOV_TOKEN is correctly set as a repository secret and referenced via token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }} . The v3 action uses the deprecated bash uploader which does not properly…

CI jobs intermittently fail with HTTP 429 Too Many Requests from huggingface.co when a Python service using sentence-transformers loads its embedding model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) lazily at runtime. Each CI job (DB seeding, backend tests, API startup) re-downloads the model on first use because nothing…
