git - github API 提交状态 "failure"和 "error"之间的差异？

Question

github API 提交状态“失败”和“错误”有什么区别？

Answer 1

GitHub API Statuses包括将提交标记为成功、失败、错误或挂起状态。
通常，在 continuous integration context 中，提交是:

标记为 failed因为作业未能完成

标记为 error因为作业确实完成了，但以非零状态退出

标记为 成功 因为作业确实完成了，并以零状态退出

(作业作为由 job scheduler 运行的任务)

自 2014 年以来，GitHub 与 CI 的集成确实在发展。
2018 年 5 月，您拥有“Introducing the Checks API, a better way to connect integrations and code”。
它引入了 的概念checks

Rather than binary pass/fail build statuses, integrations can report rich statuses, annotate lines of code with detailed information, and kick off reruns.

您在(检查的)新上下文中发现失败

When someone pushes code to a repository, GitHub creates a check suite for the last commit. GitHub Apps with the checks:write permission receive a check_suite webhook with the requested action. When your GitHub App receives the check_suite event, it can create new check runs for the latest commit.

这适用于:

Travis-CI (从那时起 deprecated the GitHub commit status API updates for GitHub Apps-managed repositories )

Circle-CI

在那个新环境中( New Checks API public beta ):

失败与运行的检查相关联，但以非零状态退出，

错误与甚至无法运行的检查相关联

见 Questions :

How are check runs different than commit statuses?

Commit statuses allow for a simple pass or fail state.
Check runs allow for much more granular information: they can conclude as either success, failure, neutral, cancelled, timed_out, or action_required. Check runs are more flexible than commit statuses.

Juraj Martinka :

In unit testing terminology:

• "failure" usually represents a failed test, that is the code under the test returned an answer but this is different from the expected one;
• "error" represents an unexpected error in the code like an exception being thrown.

This is also what I've seen to be used in CI such as Travis:

• "build failed" means that your change breaks some tests, has linter errors, etc.
• "build error" means unexpected build job error (early termination).

Bob Bell同意:

I use:

• "failure" to say "the test failed against the criteria", and
• "error" to be "the test was not able to be executed properly".

I consider "failure" and "success" to be opposite, the two results of a completed test, while "error" is the outlier, the result of an aborted test.
