Vercel build: Neon branching · Status not available
Hey, I'm trying to set up the Vercel + Neon integration. I followed this tutorial: https://neon.tech/blog/branching-with-preview-environments. I already have the integration setup on Vercel and the branch creation is working. Still, the GitHub Action always fails when deploying the project artifacts to Vercel on the running checks with Neon branching · Status not available.
This is the PR where I'm working on https://github.com/betoSolares/startpage/pull/18

If you’re using the Neon Vercel integration there’s no need to call create branch from GitHub actions. The integration creates a preview branch for each PR (assuming that’s what you want to achieve). What is that screenshot from, GitHub or Vercel?

I'm not using the Vercel auto deploy feature, on new PR I use a GitHub Action to make a Preview Deployment.
This is what I get on GitHub and Vercel.

Thanks, that makes it work, I didn't realize that was one or the other.

Gotcha.
Are you using the Neon integration in Vercel? Where is that "Check" coming from?
Ahh good.

I was using the Neon integration and the GitHub Action, they issue was on the GitHub deploying the artifact to Vercel, then I introspect the deploy on Vercel where I was having Neon branching not available

Got the same issue by running “vercel deploy” on local to trigger a preview deployment, I can see that the branch is created on Neon, but Vercel failed the get the creation status. It pretty much break my preview deployment, can’t really find a workaround😕

@chungweileong does retrying the build succeed? If not maybe we can DM/screenshare so I can better understand what's happening?

@ShinyPokemon When the preview deployment is triggering on Vercek, the deployment will fail because it does not able to get the Neon branching status as shown in the screenshot below. However, one thing I can make sure of is that the preview branch is successfully created on the Neon side.
