Cursor deployment

GitHub Actions CI/CD Workflow Fails After Changes

Your GitHub Actions workflow stopped running successfully after Cursor made changes to the workflow YAML file. Build or deployment steps are now failing, blocking merges.

The YAML syntax or workflow logic was likely corrupted during refactoring.

Error Messages You Might See

Workflow syntax error Invalid YAML Action not found Job failed Step exited with code 1
Workflow syntax errorInvalid YAMLAction not foundJob failedStep exited with code 1

Common Causes

  1. YAML indentation broken, causing parse errors
  2. Job dependency syntax changed incorrectly (needs: vs requires)
  3. Step names or condition syntax invalid
  4. Environment variables reference broken or removed
  5. Docker image or action version no longer exists

How to Fix It

Validate YAML syntax with yamllint .github/workflows/*.yml. Check action versions exist on GitHub Marketplace. Ensure proper indentation (2 spaces). Test workflow locally with act tool. Review workflow logs for specific step failure.
