"Unable to locate build via Github Actions API" for the public repository

[AlekSi]

Seems to be the same as closed codecov/codecov-action#557.
Similar to codecov/codecov-action#803 and codecov/codecov-action#598.
Here was a request to create a new issue in that case, so here it is.

Getting the same several times today, but it is transient: https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/actions/runs/3136909140/jobs/5094405179

@AlekSi @yurishkuro if you have installed the Codecov GitHub app, the only reason I can think of for getting that message is that the access token used is hitting a GitHub rate limit. Do you use any other GitHub apps or know why that might be?

[yurishkuro]

I don't think we're using the app, we use GH Actions here: https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/blob/e877a61926a3f7bc1a5f5ba6b9fceb78bcb8b71d/.github/workflows/ci-unit-tests.yml#L26

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@yurishkuro to be clear, those two things are not mutually exclusive. The app is used by Codecov to communicate with GitHub (e.g. check the codecov yaml, post the PR comment and status checks). The Action is used to upload coverage reports to Codecov.

[yurishkuro]

Yes, we do have Codecov app as well. But the errors are coming from GH Action.

[AlekSi]

to be clear, those two things are mutually exclusive

I guess you mean "are not".

Yes, we do have that app installed. We also use a few other GitHub apps. Do they all use the same token (and what token is that)?

I'm also getting this error in a public repository:
https://github.com/GiyoMoon/astrolabe/actions/runs/3146676402/jobs/5115391452#step:6:30
It worked 5 days ago:
https://github.com/GiyoMoon/astrolabe/actions/runs/3114152120/jobs/5049659188#step:6:53

[AlekSi]

I enabled verbose mode: https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB/actions/runs/3151343738/jobs/5125175424

I also have the same error during this run. codecov/codecov-action@v2 was able to upload successfully though.

[YonatanKra]

Hi,
Worked fine this morning - started again now.

[GiyoMoon]

Oh great, I just re-run my job and it worked too.

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

I am wondering if the disruption with GitHub had anything to do with this uptick in this issue. If so, apologies, I know the error message could have been far better crafted. We are working on making it more actionable.

As far as I know, this error message happens when we ping GitHub to confirm that the build being uploaded to Codecov matches with a real build for the same repository. This is one of the checks we do for public repositories that aren't using an upload token. I'm guessing that API call went a little haywire a few days ago.

[AlekSi]

That accident was resolved 6 days ago, but we are seeing the same issue right now: https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB/actions/runs/3175008916/jobs/5172514896
