c05927c1 added a `concurrency:` block on the premise that the suite never
got one. It already had one, four lines above -- the hunk header of that
diff reads `@@ -50,6 +50,23 @@ concurrency:`, which is the existing block
it was appended below.
A YAML mapping cannot carry the same key twice, so the file has not
loaded since. GitHub still creates a run and then schedules nothing:
553f5fd2 (last green) run 33036453748 jobs=1 ci -> success
d58e4830 (main) run 33114046849 jobs=0 failure
Every run since has that shape, and the run list names it in passing:
those runs appear as `.github/workflows/tests.yml` where the green ones
appear as `tests`, because the `name:` key sits inside the file that did
not parse. `linter` is unaffected -- it carries one block -- which is why
351da21e shows a green linter beside a failed tests run, and the tree
reads as half-checked rather than unchecked.
Reproduced with a parser rather than inferred from the job count:
before -> THREW: Duplicate key "concurrency" detected at line 66.
after -> parsed ok, top-level keys: name,on,concurrency,jobs
Kept the second block, verbatim, because it is the one c05927c1 meant to
end up with and its comment carries the reasoning -- including the
tradeoff that an intermediate commit on `main` can end up with no run of
its own. The two group keys are interchangeable: `github.workflow` is
constant within a workflow, so `tests-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}`
and `tests-${{ github.ref }}` produce the same grouping. Worth knowing
that lint.yml still uses the first shape, if you would rather the two
files read alike.
No test. The failure is loud on the next push, and a test that parses a
workflow file would be a second place to keep the same rule.
The linter has had this since it was written; the suite, which is the
expensive one, never got it. Two pushes landing together ran two full
suites to the end, and the earlier one was checking a subset of what the
later one checks.
Keyed on the ref, so main and a branch never cancel each other, and a
branch with an open pull request does not fight itself — push and
pull_request arrive under two different refs.
One consequence worth stating rather than discovering: on main an
intermediate commit can end up with no run of its own when two pushes
land close together. That is the right trade when what is being verified
is the state of the branch, but it is not free — a bisect or a release
audit that needs a particular commit's own green tick needs that commit
pushed on its own.
The condition was on the step. A skipped step has still had a machine
allocated for it, and Actions bills per job that runs — so `issue_comment`
firing on every comment in the repository meant every "merged, thank you"
on a pull request, and every comment on an ordinary issue, started a
runner to decide it had nothing to do.
Of the last forty runs, twelve were exactly that. Yesterday's twenty
merges each drew a comment, and each comment drew a runner.
Moved up to the job, where a false condition means no runner at all, and
narrowed with `issue.pull_request` so comments on plain issues stop
qualifying too. GitHub cannot filter `issue_comment` by body at the `on:`
level, so the job is the only place this decision can be made — which is
worth the comment beside it, because the obvious tidy-up is to push it
back down to the step it guards.
Behaviour is unchanged: the same two comment bodies still trigger a
check, and every pull_request_target still does.
The tests job spent 191 of its 270 seconds running the suite one process
at a time; --parallel runs the same 1763 tests across the runner's cores
with nothing skipped. paratest is already a dev dependency.
The linter job was worse: 150 of its 195 seconds went to `pint` with no
--test and its auto-commit step commented out, so it reformatted the
runner's checkout, exited 0 and threw the result away. `npm run format`
is `prettier --write` and did the same. Both are gone, with a note on
what reinstating them as real gates would take -- a formatting sweep
first, then the flag. What remains is eslint, now read-only so it can
actually fail, and the job no longer needs PHP at all.
Both workflows now cancel superseded runs, and neither runs for a change
that only touches prose nobody's code reads. CHANGELOG.md and docs/ are
deliberately absent from that list: ReleaseNotes parses one and two
controllers serve the other.
Client file sharing, rebuilt from the ground up: a private area per
client, resumable uploads, folders, groups and categories, sharing with
expiry dates and download limits, comments, file versions, an activity
log, a REST API, and sixteen languages.
