Question

A workflow run for your CI pipeline shows a red X on the 'build' job. When you open the run summary page in the GitHub UI, an annotation reads 'Process completed with exit code 1' but does not indicate which command failed. Your team needs to pinpoint the exact command and error message that caused the failure. Which action gives you the most direct path to that information?

Accepted Answer

Expand the failed step in the job log view, where each executed command and its stdout/stderr output are shown grouped under the step

Answer

Re-run the entire workflow with debug logging disabled to reproduce the annotation faster

Answer

Download the workflow artifacts, since failing commands are always written to the uploaded artifact bundle

Answer

Check the repository's Insights tab, which records the specific failing command for each historical run
