Github actions suddenly failing

Context - IOC Setup where Coder templates live in a github repo in different folders and github actions validate updates to them and then push them out to our Coder instance - Github actions that we're working a week ago are suddenly failing with endless red herrings in the logs Example Output

Have gone back and forth a ton with my human brain and AI brains but at this point I wonder if it even has anything to do with Coder at all.

What are you creating this issue for?

Ryan WianckoOP•3mo ago

Good lord this is frustrating. Part of our CI/CD is to create a temporary workspace to test everything and then clean up and delete that workspace once validation passes. My next debugging step was to remove the cleanup phase so that I could terminal into the test workspace and dive into the logs.
So I remove the cleanup phase of our pipeline and viola, validationa and everything passes instead of fails.
Like I said, the validation was failing on templates that we're passing a week ago, so I don't think this has anything to do with tempaltes or scripts, and more to do with github or some external issue. I'm happy things started working again but I still have no idea why they started to fail in the first place. Just restored the cleanup portion of the validation script that I removed and all validation checks are passing again. So something external resolved itself and I have no idea what, which means I get to sit here and wait for this thing to happen again randomly after wasting a day debugging nothing apparently.

After going HARD on the debug logs I think I got the the issue Run actions/upload-artifact@v4 With the provided path, there will be 2 files uploaded Artifact name is valid! Root directory input is valid! Error: Failed to CreateArtifact: Artifact storage quota has been hit. Unable to upload any new artifacts. Usage is recalculated every 6-12 hours. More info on storage limits: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions#calculating-minute-and-storage-spending So nevermind me

GitHub Docs

About billing for GitHub Actions - GitHub Docs

If you want to use GitHub Actions beyond the storage or minutes included in your account, you will be billed for additional usage.

hey @Ryan Wiancko apologies for the delay, has this worked after that usage recalculation? hey @Ryan Wiancko closing for staleness, let me know if you still need help :)
