Process completed with exit code 137CI/CD

The command was killed by the system with SIGKILL (128 + 9), almost always because the runner ran out of memory.

API rate limit exceededCI/CD

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

Two steps away (25)

publickeyGit

Git: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

SSH authentication to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket failed — no key, wrong key, or the key isn’t added to your account.

Repository not foundGit

remote: Repository not found. fatal: repository 'https://github.com/x/y.git/' not found

GitHub/GitLab says the repository doesn’t exist — or you lack access to a private repo.

github-actions[bot] 403Git

remote: Permission to owner/repo.git denied to github-actions[bot]. fatal: unable to access … The requested URL returned error: 403

A GitHub Actions workflow tried to push but the GITHUB_TOKEN doesn’t have write permission.

command not foundLinux

bash: command not found

The shell can’t find an executable with that name in any directory on your PATH.

npm ci out of syncnpm

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.

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…

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…

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).

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…

deprecated version of actions/upload-artifactCI/CD

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.

sts:AssumeRole deniedAWS

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…

Invalid workflow fileCI/CD

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.

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…

OOMKilledKubernetes

Kubernetes: OOMKilled (exit code 137)

The container used more memory than its limit, and the kernel killed it.

heap out of memoryNode.js

FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

The V8 heap hit its limit — a large build (webpack, tsc, Next.js) needs more memory, or the app leaks.

The runner has received a shutdown signalCI/CD

GitHub Actions: The runner has received a shutdown signal. This can happen when the runner service is stopped, or a manually started runner is canceled

The machine running your job was shut down or reclaimed while the job was running — a self-hosted runner stopped, a spot instance…

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.

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.

.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.

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.

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.

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…

No space left on device (runner)CI/CD
