Task versions not updating

[jluethi]

The current task page doesn't show the most recent task versions. e.g. fractal-tasks-core 1.4.3 instead of any of the 1.5.x releases that have been out for a while.
Same for many other packages.

The CI was running recently for the build and deploy action.

But the second action there that's called pages-build-deployment hasn't run in 3 months.

I now pushed some changes to main to see if that triggers a rerun and how that action gets activated

The footer of https://fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/fractal_tasks/ shows

We'll look into it

[jluethi]

It is up-to-date now. Is it a question of when pages build and deployment runs? Does this not get triggered by the main CI thing we're rerunning?

Is it a question of when pages build and deployment runs?

Yes, the public page is updated when the pages-build-deployment action runs.

Does this not get triggered by the main CI thing we're rerunning?

It should indeed, but for some reason it stopped ~3 months ago (even though our Build and deploy action kept running successfully every day).

Partial update:

There was no commit to https://github.com/fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/commits/gh-pages/ any more, after April 28. This explains why pages-build-deployment was not triggered.

Actions like https://github.com/fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/actions/runs/15931168244/job/44940468555 skipped the "deploy" step:

The condition for this block is

      - name: Deploy docs
        if: ${{ ( github.event_name == 'push' || github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' ) && github.event.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }}
        uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v4
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          publish_dir: ./site

where we are perhaps/likely lacking another option for github.event_name.

This should now be fixed at

fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/.github/workflows/documentation.yaml

Line 117 in db3244e

if: ${{ ( github.event_name == 'push' || github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || github.event_name == 'schedule' ) && github.event.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }}

.

We can close the issue after the next scheduled update runs as expected.

https://github.com/fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/actions/runs/16005506195/job/45151084834 shows that the fix above was necessary but not enough:

[tcompa]

https://github.com/fractal-analytics-platform/fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/actions/runs/16020668838/job/45196645793 shows that the issue is that github.event.ref is unset when running as a scheduled GHA.

Now fixed

Note that 60 days of inactivity on the repo may still deactivate the workflow.

Great, thanks a lot @tcompa for investigating & fixing this!
