Build GitHub Issue on Build Failure Workflow

Duration: ~25 min · Level: Advanced · Template: #114 GitHub Issue on Build Failure · Deployment: Cloud (SSH to build host)

Prerequisites: SSH access to a build server, GitHub personal access token with repo scope.

Build a CI failure workflow from template #114: run a remote build via SSH and file a GitHub issue automatically when the build fails.

What this template does

  1. Trigger Build — manual start (or add cron/webhook).
  2. Run Build — SSH command on build server.
  3. Build OK? — checks exitCode == 0.
  4. File Bug on GitHub — creates issue with stderr/stdout on failure.

Step 1 — Load the template

  1. Studio → Templates → search GitHub Issue Build Failure.
  2. Load template #114.

Step 2 — SSH build

  1. Set host, username, and credentials in Run Build.
  2. Update the build command for your stack (e.g. npm run build, dotnet build).

Step 3 — GitHub

  1. Configure owner, repo, token, title, body, and labels in File Bug on GitHub.
  2. Include {{exitCode}} and {{output}} in the issue body.

Step 4 — Trigger options

Replace Manual start with Cron Schedule for nightly builds or a Webhook from your CI system.
