Circle builds not running for a contributor's PR

[muffinresearch]

Historically we've had no issues with Circle running on PRS. But two branches for a contributor are stuck with the following message:

Here's an example of two branches that didn't fire a build:

• Matrix Room Manifestation #571
• Added "Get The Add-on" buttons to Promoting Your Extension page #569 (Merged)

The only way I could get circle to build the latest rev was to push a PR of a copy of the same branch.

The webhooks for the PRs appear to have been fired OK. Also adding new commits didn't result in any change to the build status.

The earlier branch for #569 uses a branch called master so maybe that's related in some way? That said the remaining branch that is still stuck, isn't called master (but it does contain revisions that are from the previous branch).

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the issue. I filed a test PR #578, which trigger a build in CircleCI without problem (https://circleci.com/gh/mozilla/extension-workshop/tree/pull%2F578).

The github log shows the webhook for #571 was fired and received 200,

However I can't find a build for #571 in the CircleCI console.

Another piece of difference I notice is that for my PR, there were a few status calls to CircleCI after the initial pull_request call, whereas PR #571 only had the initial pull_request call, but no subsequent status calls.

@bqbn would be interesting to try this again with an account with no permissions. I'll see if I can try that today.

@bqbn I concur with not being able to repro. I think we can just close this out and see if it comes up again.
