Description

Describe the bug

When gh run rerun --failed is invoked on a workflow that did not complete yet (and thus is not re-runnable at least in the web UI), the command prints "run .... cannot be rerun; its workflow file may be broken", which does not indicate actual reason of the failure

$ gh --version
gh version 2.50.0 (2024-05-29)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.50.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a workflow with multiple jobs so that one fails and one continues to run longer
  2. Create a PR, wait for the to-be-failed job to fail
  3. Obtain status checks for this PR e.g. with gh pr checks "${pr_link}" --json 'link,bucket' --jq 'map(. | select(.bucket == "fail")' -- the job is reported as failed
  4. Obtain the run ID -- either from web UI or with something like gh pr checks "${pr_link}" --json 'link,bucket' --jq 'map(. | select(.bucket == "fail") | .link | sub(".*/runs/(?<id>[0-9]+)/job/[0-9]+$"; "\(.id)") ) | unique | .[]'
  5. Attempt re-running the failed jobs: gh run rerun --failed "${run_id}"

Expected vs actual behavior

Expected: gh run rerun to print something indicating that workflow/run cannot be rerun before it finishes
Actual: message not indicating what the actual problem is

    Thanks for opening this bug report, @findepi! 🤗

    Using the following workflow, I was able to reproduce this without involving a pull request:

    on:
  workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
  long-running:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Delay
        run: |
          sleep 300
  short-failing:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Delay
        run: |
          sleep 60
      - name: Fail
        run: |
          exit 1

    which resulted in:

run 10168088985 cannot be rerun; its workflow file may be broken

    I believe the issue can be tracked back to the following code snippet; I think the message from the response should be used / provided to the user:

    cli/pkg/cmd/run/rerun/rerun.go

    Lines 199 to 208 in b05bddc

    path := fmt.Sprintf("repos/%s/actions/runs/%d/%s", ghrepo.FullName(repo), run.ID, runVerb)
    err = client.REST(repo.RepoHost(), "POST", path, body, nil)
    if err != nil {
    var httpError api.HTTPError
    if errors.As(err, &httpError) && httpError.StatusCode == 403 {
    return fmt.Errorf("run %d cannot be rerun; its workflow file may be broken", run.ID)
    }
    return fmt.Errorf("failed to rerun: %w", err)
    }

    I had the same issue, see https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/67654#discussioncomment-8038649 for a workaround: calling a second workflow to wait and rerun the first one.

    @andyfeller this looks very similar to b41b771, we should probably just remove the:

     fmt.Errorf("run %d cannot be rerun; its workflow file may be broken", run.ID)

    And return whatever the API does. This seems like a recipe for confusion as is.
