API Error: Too many concurrent requests (concurrency limit reached)
You have more requests in flight at once than the API allows for your key — even if your requests-per-minute rate is fine.
GitHub Actions: Error: Resource not accessible by integration (403)
The workflow’s GITHUB_TOKEN doesn’t have the permission needed for that API call (comment, push, create release, write packages).
GitHub Actions: Unrecognized named-value: 'secrets'. Located at position 1 within expression: secrets.API_KEY
You used an expression context (`secrets`, `env`, `matrix`, `steps`…) in a place of the workflow where that context is not availa…
GitHub Actions: secret is empty on pull_request from a fork or Dependabot (Secrets are not passed to workflows triggered by a fork)
Secrets are intentionally withheld from workflows that run for pull requests from forks and, by default, for Dependabot PRs — so…
GitHub Actions: Error: Process completed with exit code 127 — command not found
The shell could not find the command you tried to run: it is not installed on the runner, not on PATH, or misspelled.
GitHub Actions: Context access might be invalid: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID (editor warning for secrets/vars)
The GitHub Actions editor or extension flags a `secrets.X` or `vars.X` reference that is not defined in the repository — usually…
GitHub Actions: Cache not found for input keys: npm-Linux-abc123 / Failed to save: Unable to reserve cache with key, another job may be creating this cache
`actions/cache` either found nothing for your key (restore miss) or could not save because another run is already saving the same…
GitHub Actions: Error: This request has been automatically failed because it uses a deprecated version of `actions/upload-artifact: v3`
Since January 2025 the v3 artifact actions no longer work — upload and download steps fail until you move to v4.
GitHub Actions: Expected — Waiting for status to be reported (required check never runs on the pull request)
Branch protection requires a status check that no workflow reports for this PR, so the merge button stays blocked.
GitHub Actions: fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/feature — The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 1 (actions/checkout)
`actions/checkout` could not fetch the branch, tag or SHA it was asked for — it was deleted, never pushed, or is not reachable wi…
GitHub Actions: Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/checkout@v3
A warning that actions in your workflow still run on an old Node.js runtime; update them to current major versions.
GitHub Actions: The `set-output` command is deprecated and will be disabled soon. Please upgrade to using Environment Files
Workflows (or old actions) still use `::set-output`, which must be replaced by writing to the `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` file.
Two steps away (23)
AWS: ThrottlingException / Rate exceeded
You exceeded the request rate for an AWS API; retry with exponential backoff.
HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
You’ve hit a rate limit — too many requests in a given time window. Slow down and retry later.
HTTP 409 Conflict
The request conflicts with the current state of the resource — e.g. a duplicate or an edit based on an outdated version.
npm ERR! code EACCES — permission denied
npm can’t write to a directory — usually global installs into a root-owned folder.
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
The docker CLI can’t talk to the Docker engine — it isn’t running, or your user can’t access the socket.
HTTP 403 Forbidden
The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it — you (or the server process) are not allowed to access this resour…
GitHub Actions: Invalid workflow file: .github/workflows/ci.yml#L12 — You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 12
GitHub could not parse your workflow YAML, so no run was created — usually indentation, a tab, or an unquoted special character.
GitHub Actions: Error: Unable to download artifact(s): Artifact not found for name: build
`download-artifact` could not find an artifact with that name in the run (or repository) — it was never uploaded, named different…
GitHub Actions: error parsing called workflow ".github/workflows/ci.yml" -> "org/repo/.github/workflows/build.yml@main": workflow was not found
A job calls a reusable workflow (`uses: org/repo/.github/workflows/x.yml@ref`) that GitHub cannot find or is not allowed to use.
GitHub Actions: workflow does not run on push / pull_request / workflow_dispatch button missing
A workflow file exists but no run appears — the trigger filters do not match, the file is not on the right branch, or the workflo…
GitHub Actions: Error: Input required and not supplied: token
An action needs an input (token, ssh-key, api-key…) and the `with:` value is empty or missing — often because the secret does not…
GitHub Actions: Error: Credentials could not be loaded, please check your action inputs: Could not load credentials from any providers
`aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials` found no usable credentials — no keys, no role to assume, or the OIDC token was not reque…
bash: command not found
The shell can’t find an executable with that name in any directory on your PATH.
GitHub Actions: Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
A `run:` command returned a non-zero status, so the step (and job) failed — the real cause is printed in the log lines above.
GitHub Actions: Error: Process completed with exit code 137 (Killed — out of memory)
The command was killed by the system with SIGKILL (128 + 9), almost always because the runner ran out of memory.
npm ERR! `npm ci` can only install packages when your package.json and package-lock.json are in sync
package-lock.json doesn’t match package.json, so npm ci refuses to install.
GitHub Actions: Error: Unable to process command '::set-env name=X::y' successfully. The `set-env` command is disabled
A script or old action uses `::set-env` / `::add-path`, which GitHub disabled; write to `$GITHUB_ENV` and `$GITHUB_PATH` instead.
GitHub Actions: Error: Unable to process file command 'output' successfully. Invalid format 'x'
A line written to `$GITHUB_OUTPUT`, `$GITHUB_ENV` or `$GITHUB_STATE` is not in `name=value` form — usually a multi-line value wit…
GitLab CI: ERROR: Uploading artifacts as "archive" to coordinator... too large archive id=123 responseStatus=413 Request Entity Too Large
The job produced an artifact bigger than the instance or project's maximum artifact size.
GitLab CI: This job could not start because it could not retrieve the needed artifacts (dependencies: build).
A job needs artifacts from an earlier job, but that job failed, was skipped or its artifacts have expired or been deleted.
GitHub Actions: Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128
A git command inside the workflow failed — usually authentication to a private repo/submodule, a missing ref, or pushing without…
GitHub Actions: Error: Unable to get ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL env variable
A step tried to get an OIDC token (for AWS, Azure, GCP, Vault) but the job was not granted `id-token: write` permission.
WARN: the attribute `version` is obsolete, it will be ignored
A harmless Compose v2 warning: the top-level version: line in docker-compose.yml is no longer used.
