Show CI failure details to non-collaborator PR authors #64333
Description
Activity
Hey, I can make sure the bot shares CI failure details with non-collaborators so they don't have to ask for help.
Can you assign me this issue?Thanks
Thanks for your interest @Mahnoor-Zaffar, we don't assign issues so feel free to work on this.
That being said, since you have no Jenkins access, this might be a bit tricky to get done. However, I'm just guessing
- marked Look at potential automation to help PR non-collaborators acquire PR test results #64361 as a duplicate of this issue
on Jul 8, 2026 Yeah, it is getting trickier as I get more into it
Reacted by Efe KarasakalHey team! Any news on this? This would indeed be super helpful for (new) contributors like myself in #64682 to see whether the potential failures are linked to the PR or if it's coming from something else (known error, flaky test).
Reacted by Trivikram Kamat, Efe Karasakal and Caleb EverettI've seen many failed checks on PRs and it's impossible to debug without access to those logs
What is the problem this feature will solve?
CI is now only visible to collaborators. External contributors can see that CI failed, but not why, so they have to ask a collaborator to learn about the CI status.
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
If CI fails on a PR from a non-collaborator, have
nodejs-github-botpost a short comment with the failure summary, failing test names etc.Original idea by @RafaelGSS
This is also similar in spirit to #32306 from 6 years ago, but opening a new issue to bring visibility to this in light of the recent collaborator-only CI access change.
What alternatives have you considered?
