description

Triage and fix failing Buildkite CI checks for RisingWave pull requests by extracting concrete failing tests, diffs, and error messages from Buildkite build/job logs and artifacts, then applying focused code or test fixes. Use when users ask to diagnose red Buildkite checks, investigate flaky/failing CI jobs, understand why a Buildkite build failed, or provide Buildkite/GitHub check URLs and want a concrete fix.

Fix Buildkite CI

Overview

Diagnose Buildkite failures programmatically and avoid guessing from UI screenshots. Prefer structured build/job JSON plus artifact inspection to find the exact failing test case and mismatch, then implement the smallest correct fix.

Target Selection

Resolve triage target with this precedence:

• If user provides a Buildkite build URL, use that build directly.
• Else if user specifies a branch and/or a pipeline (for example pull-request, main-cron), use the specified scope.
• Else default to the current git branch and inspect the checks for the PR associated with that branch.

Workflow

1. Identify the failing Buildkite build(s).
2. Retrieve build JSON and list failed jobs.
3. Pull job logs and extract the first concrete failure signal.
4. Inspect artifacts when top-level logs are truncated.
5. Map failure to root cause and apply a focused fix.
6. Verify locally where feasible and summarize evidence.

Use bk CLI first. If auth is unavailable, use public Buildkite JSON/log/artifact endpoints via curl.

For exact commands and endpoint patterns, read references/buildkite-ci-triage.md.

Step 1: Identify Failing Buildkite Checks

When no explicit target is given, find the PR for the current branch first, then run gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER> to find failing checks and capture Buildkite URLs ().
