EACCESnpm

npm ERR! code EACCES — permission denied

npm can’t write to a directory — usually global installs into a root-owned folder.

daemonDocker

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.

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.

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

Waiting for a runner to pick up this jobCI/CD

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unable to process file commandCI/CD

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 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.

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.
