Check CI Status

Verify CI/CD status of a pull request and investigate failures.

When to Use

  • Verifying PR is ready to merge
  • Investigating CI failures
  • Monitoring long-running CI jobs
  • Checking before pushing changes

Quick Reference

bash
# Check PR CI status
gh pr checks <pr>

# Watch CI in real-time
gh pr checks <pr> --watch

# Get detailed status
gh pr view <pr> --json statusCheckRollup

# View failed logs
gh run view <run-id> --log-failed

# Rerun failed checks
gh run rerun <run-id>

Workflow

  1. Check status: Run gh pr checks <pr> to see all checks
  2. Identify failures: Look for ✗ (failed) or ○ (pending)
  3. View logs: Use gh run view to see failure details
  4. Fix locally: Reproduce issue locally and test
  5. Push fix: Commit and push changes
  6. Verify: Watch CI with --watch flag

Common CI Failures

Pre-commit issues (formatting/linting):

bash
just pre-commit-all  # Fix locally
git add . && git commit --amend --no-edit
git push --force-with-lease

Test failures:

bash
mojo test tests/          # Run locally
pytest tests/             # Python tests
# Fix code and retest

Workflow validation:

bash
gh workflow view <name>   # Check syntax
gh run rerun <run-id>     # Rerun failed

Status Indicators

  • - Passing
  • - Failed
  • - Pending/In progress
  • - - Skipped

Error Handling

Problem Solution
No checks found PR may not trigger CI (check workflow)
Pending forever Check logs for stuck jobs
Auth error Verify gh auth status
API rate limit Wait or authenticate properly

Pre-Merge Verification

Before merging:

  • All required checks passing
  • No pending checks
  • Latest commit has checks
  • Branch up-to-date with base
bash
gh pr checks <pr>          # All passing?
gh pr view <pr>            # Up-to-date?
gh pr diff <pr>            # Changes correct?
