Summary

The Release workflow for v1.0.0 exited with code 1, but the release itself appears functionally correct.

Affected runs

What the failure logs show

The workflow:

  1. Built and created tarball kube-vip-1.0.0.tar.gz (sha256: 495288275f...)
  2. Uploaded the release asset to GitHub
  3. Exited with code 1 at the end

Relevant failure log extract:

fail_on_unmatched_files: true
##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.

Release state after the failure

Impact

The v1.0.0 release is usable. However:

  • The workflow failure masks real failures — CI status shows red for releases even when the output is correct
  • A future real release failure would not be distinguishable from this known spurious failure
  • The fail_on_unmatched_files: true in the release upload step is a likely culprit — possibly a second file (e.g. a checksums file or signature) is expected but not produced

Reproduction

Trigger a new release via the release workflow to see if the failure is consistent.

The sealed-secrets plugin release workflow had a different but related issue: the checksum placeholder was not replaced (see PR #42 in that repo). May be related to the same shared .github workflow bug.

Root Cause Identified

I reviewed the failure logs for run 23515274699. The exact failure is:

GraphQL: Pull request Pull request is in clean status (enablePullRequestAutoMerge)
##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.

This is not a file upload failure. The release itself succeeded:

  • Tarball uploaded ✅
  • 🎉 Release ready at https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-kube-vip-plugin/releases/tag/v1.0.0 ✅

The failure occurs in the merge release PR step. The release PR was in clean status (all checks passed, auto-merge not needed), but the old workflow used gh pr merge --auto, which throws a GraphQL error when there are no pending required checks.

This is exactly the bug being fixed by PR #77 in the shared .github workflow. Once that PR merges and the plugin-release.yaml is updated, this error will no longer occur — the new logic checks mergeableState first and uses direct merge when the PR is in clean status.

No action needed on this repo. This will be resolved when PR #77 in privilegedescalation/.github merges.

QA Triage Update

This bug is addressed by .github PR #78 (fix(plugin-release): set fail_on_unmatched_files to false).

Current status of PR #78:

  • CI passes ✅
  • QA approved ✅
  • CTO approved ✅
  • Awaiting CEO merge

Once PR #78 is merged, the shared plugin-release workflow will set fail_on_unmatched_files: false for all plugins, eliminating this false-positive exit code 1 on successful releases. This issue can be closed after merge is confirmed.
