Unrecognized named-valueCI/CD

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…

Expected — Waiting for status to be reportedCI/CD

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.

Config compilation failedCI/CD

CircleCI: Error calling workflow: 'build'. Cannot find a definition for job named test / Config does not conform to schema

CircleCI could not compile `.circleci/config.yml` — a workflow refers to a missing job, a key is invalid, or the YAML is malforme…

error parsing called workflowCI/CD

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.

Credentials could not be loadedCI/CD

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…

workflow not triggeringCI/CD

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…

Unable to download artifactCI/CD

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…

Matrix vector does not contain any valuesCI/CD

GitHub Actions: Matrix vector 'node' does not contain any values / Error when evaluating 'strategy' for job

The job's `strategy.matrix` ended up empty — a `fromJSON()` expression produced no values, or a dimension is an empty list.

.gitlab-ci.yml invalidCI/CD

GitLab CI: Found errors in your .gitlab-ci.yml: jobs:build config contains unknown keys: scripts

GitLab rejected the pipeline configuration, so no pipeline was created — the message names the job and the problem.

WorkflowScript compilation errorCI/CD

Jenkins: WorkflowScript: 12: unexpected token: } @ line 12, column 5. 1 error

The Jenkinsfile has a Groovy/Declarative syntax error, so the build fails before running any stage.

Unable to process file commandCI/CD

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…

API rate limit exceededCI/CD

GitHub Actions: HttpError: API rate limit exceeded for installation ID 123456 / secondary rate limit

Your workflow (or an action it uses) made too many GitHub API calls and was throttled with 403/429.

Two steps away (26)

Context access might be invalidCI/CD

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…

Cache not found / Unable to reserve cacheCI/CD

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…

Resource not accessible by integrationCI/CD

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).

compose validationDocker

docker compose: services.x Additional property y is not allowed / yaml: line N: mapping values are not allowed

The compose file is invalid YAML or uses a key Compose doesn’t recognise at that level (usually an indentation mistake).

depends on undefined serviceDocker

service "web" depends on undefined service "db": invalid compose project

A service lists depends_on (or links/networks) for a service name that isn’t defined in the Compose file(s) being used.

the attribute version is obsoleteDocker

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.

Input required and not suppliedCI/CD

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…

Cannot find orbCI/CD

CircleCI: Cannot find orb 'circleci/node@9.9.9'. Check the namespace and version exist

The orb reference in your config does not resolve: wrong namespace, name or version, or the orb is private and not accessible.

Template file not foundCI/CD

Azure Pipelines: /azure-pipelines.yml: File /templates/build.yml not found in repository / Unable to find template

The YAML references a template (`template: templates/build.yml`) that Azure cannot find — wrong path, repo resource or branch.

sts:AssumeRole deniedAWS

is not authorized to perform: sts:AssumeRole on resource: arn:aws:iam::...:role/...

The caller can’t assume the role — either its own policy doesn’t allow sts:AssumeRole, or the role’s trust policy doesn’t trust t…

secrets not available in pull requests from forksCI/CD

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…

Node.js 16 actions are deprecatedCI/CD

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.

Waiting for a runner to pick up this jobCI/CD

GitHub Actions: Waiting for a runner to pick up this job… (job stays queued — No runner matching the specified labels)

The job is queued and never starts — no available runner has all the labels in `runs-on`, runners are offline/busy, or the hosted…

Pipeline filtered out by workflow:rulesCI/CD

GitLab CI: No pipeline created — pipeline filtered out by workflow:rules / "The rules configuration prevented any jobs from being added to the pipeline"

Your `workflow:rules` or job-level `rules:` evaluated to "never" for this event, so GitLab created no pipeline or no jobs.

set-output command is deprecatedCI/CD

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.

The set-env command is disabledCI/CD

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.

Process completed with exit code 1CI/CD

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.

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon (GitLab)CI/CD

GitLab CI: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at tcp://docker:2375. Is the docker daemon running?

A docker-in-docker job could not reach the `docker:dind` service — it is not started, not privileged, or the TLS/host settings do…

Uploading artifacts: too large archiveCI/CD

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.

Job depends on artifacts that have expiredCI/CD

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.

Waiting for next available executorCI/CD

Jenkins: Still waiting to schedule task — Waiting for next available executor / 'agent1' is offline

A Jenkins build is queued because no executor with the required label is free or the agent is offline.

Scripts not permitted to use methodCI/CD

Jenkins: org.jenkinsci.plugins.scriptsecurity.sandbox.RejectedAccessException: Scripts not permitted to use method java.lang.String toUpperCase

A sandboxed Pipeline script called a method that has not been approved in Script Security.

No such DSL methodCI/CD

Jenkins: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method 'dockerBuild' found among steps

The Jenkinsfile calls a step that does not exist — the plugin is not installed, or the name or argument is wrong.

concurrent_requests_limitAPI

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.

Process completed with exit code 127CI/CD

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.

Process completed with exit code 137CI/CD

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.
