Investigate this GitHub Actions URL: $ARGUMENTS
Use the gh CLI to analyze this workflow run. Your investigation should:
- •
Get basic info & identify actual failure:
- •What workflow/job failed, when, and on which commit?
- •CRITICAL: Read the full logs carefully to find what SPECIFICALLY caused the exit code 1
- •Distinguish between warnings/non-fatal errors vs actual failures
- •Look for patterns like "failing:", "fatal:", or script logic that determines when to exit 1
- •If you see both "non-fatal" and "fatal" errors, focus on what actually caused the failure
- •
Check flakiness: Check the past 10-20 runs of THE EXACT SAME failing job:
- •IMPORTANT: If a workflow has multiple jobs, you must check history for the SPECIFIC JOB that failed, not just the workflow
- •Use
gh run list --workflow=<workflow-name>to get run IDs, thengh run view <run-id> --json jobsto check the specific job's status - •Is this a one-time failure or recurring pattern for THIS SPECIFIC JOB?
- •What's the success rate for THIS JOB recently?
- •When did THIS JOB last pass?
- •
Identify breaking commit (if there's a pattern of failures for the specific job):
- •Find the first run where THIS SPECIFIC JOB failed and the last run where it passed
- •Identify the commit that introduced the failure
- •Verify by checking: does THIS JOB fail in ALL runs after that commit? Does it pass in ALL runs before?
- •If verified, report the breaking commit with high confidence
- •
Root cause: Based on logs, history, and any breaking commit, what's the likely cause?
- •Focus on what ACTUALLY caused the failure (not just any errors you see)
- •Verify your hypothesis against the logs and failure logic
- •
Check for existing fix PRs: Search for open PRs that might already address this issue:
- •Use
gh pr list --state open --search "<keywords>"with relevant error messages or file names - •Check if any open PR modifies the failing file/workflow
- •If a fix PR exists, note it in your report and skip the recommendation section
- •Use
Write a final report with:
- •Summary of failure (what specifically triggered the exit code 1)
- •Flakiness assessment (one-time vs recurring, success rate)
- •Breaking commit (if identified and verified)
- •Root cause analysis (based on the ACTUAL failure trigger)
- •Existing fix PR (if found - include PR number and link)
- •Recommendation (skip if fix PR already exists)
