GitHub Actions CI/CD Failures: Differentiating Code Errors from Runner Issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article discusses troubleshooting CI/CD pipeline failures, specifically within GitHub Actions. It categorizes failures into three types: assertion failures (code errors), runner acquisition issues (job not executing), and cancellations. The author emphasizes that the approach to fixing each failure type differs significantly. The piece uses specific commit hashes and run times from a "Lite" repository to illustrate how to differentiate these failures by examining job conclusions, the presence of error logs, and execution duration, advising against modifying scripts when the issue lies with runner availability.
