💡 Result:

The terms check-failure, check-cancelled, check-timed-out, and action_required are status descriptors used in automated pull request management tools, most notably Mergify [1]. These attributes are used within configuration files to define conditions for workflows, such as automatic merging or blocking pull requests based on the status of CI/CD checks [1]. Mergify specifically defines these as follows: check-failure: This attribute matches checks that have failed [1]. Notably, for backward compatibility and to ensure robust rule evaluation, this category also includes checks that report as cancelled, timed out, or action required [1]. check-cancelled: This attribute matches checks that have a cancelled conclusion, such as a GitHub Actions job stopped by a concurrency group [1]. While these are also captured under check-failure, using check-cancelled allows you to isolate or ignore cancellations in your logic [1]. check-timed-out: This attribute matches checks that have timed out during execution [1]. action_required: This refers to a state where a check is paused and awaiting external intervention or manual approval to proceed [1]. Because check-failure is a broad category that encompasses other non-success states, it is common practice to combine these attributes with negation operators to create precise rules [1]. For example, to trigger a rule only on a genuine failure while ignoring a cancellation, one might use the following configuration logic [1]: # Match a genuine failure but ignore a cancellation - check-failure = test - -check-cancelled = test

Mergify conditions check-failure check-cancelled check-timed-out action-required official documentation

💡 Result:

In Mergify configuration, the conditions check-failure, check-cancelled, check-timed-out, and action-required (often handled as a subset of failures) are attributes used to match the status of checks on a pull request [1][2]. These attributes take a list of strings representing the check names [1][2]. Key characteristics include: - check-failure: Matches checks that have failed [1][2]. For backward compatibility, this also includes checks that report being cancelled, timed out, or requiring action [1][2]. - check-cancelled: Specifically matches checks that report a "cancelled" conclusion, such as those stopped by GitHub Actions concurrency: cancel-in-progress [1][3]. - check-timed-out: Specifically matches checks that reported a "timed out" conclusion [1][2]. - Addressing specific states: Because check-failure includes other states by default, you can isolate specific outcomes by pairing the conditions [1]. For example, to match a genuine failure while excluding a cancellation, you can use: - check-failure = - -check-cancelled = [1][2] The qualified form is supported for these attributes, allowing you to check them against specific statuses across your workflows [1][2]. Note that while Mergify provides these conditions to evaluate pull requests, distinct mechanisms like checks_timeout in queue_rules manage how the Merge Queue handles checks that do not report back in time [4][5].

Exclude non-failure conclusions from the release label rule.

At line 16, check-failure also matches cancelled, timed_out, and action_required. A cancelled or timed-out test / binary-compatibility run can therefore add release-bump-needed without reporting a binary incompatibility. (docs.mergify.com)

     conditions:
       - check-failure~=^test / binary-compatibility
+      - -check-cancelled~=^test / binary-compatibility
+      - -check-timed-out~=^test / binary-compatibility
+      - -check-action-required~=^test / binary-compatibility

In @.mergify.yml at line 16, Update the release label rule’s
binary-compatibility condition to match only an actual failed check conclusion,
excluding cancelled, timed_out, and action_required outcomes; preserve the
existing release-bump-needed behavior for genuine failures.
