Backport #38520 by @darklight147 ## Problem Jobs that call a reusable workflow (`uses:`) whose steps contain a `run: |` block that **starts with blank lines** never start — the child jobs stay `Blocked` forever, the run never finishes, and nothing is shown to the user (the error is only logged at DEBUG). The reusable is valid YAML and worked on 1.26. ## Root cause `jobparser` serializes each expanded job via `SingleWorkflow.SetJob()`, which uses `yaml.NewEncoder(...).SetIndent(2)`, but `SingleWorkflow.Marshal()` used `yaml.Marshal`, whose default indentation is **4**. Re-emitting a multi-line literal block scalar at a different indentation makes the encoder write a wrong explicit indentation indicator (`run: |4`) whose declared indent doesn't match the actual content indent. The stored `workflow_payload` is then unparseable: ``` run: |4 while ... ``` `jobparser.Parse` / `model.ReadWorkflow` (both go.yaml.in/yaml/v4) reject it: `did not find expected key`. This surfaces in `services/actions/job_emitter.go` `resolve()` → `updateConcurrencyEvaluationForJobWithNeeds` → `ParseJob`, where the error is swallowed at `log.Debug` and the job is left `Blocked`. Encoding at indent 4 triggers the bad indicator; indent 2 does not — matching the value already used by `SetJob`. ## Fix Encode `SingleWorkflow.Marshal()` with `SetIndent(2)` so both encoders agree and the serialized single workflow round-trips. Adds a regression test (`Parse → Marshal → Parse` on a `run:` block with leading blank lines) that fails before the change with `did not find expected key`. ## Notes - This is the correctness fix. Related: #37116 added `ValidateWorkflowContent` to *report* such content for top-level workflows, but the reusable-expansion/concurrency-eval path is not covered and strands silently — this fix removes the failure mode entirely. - Consider a follow-up to elevate the swallowed error in `job_emitter.resolve()` from `log.Debug` to a user-visible job failure (there is an existing `// TODO`).

Gitea
Purpose
The goal of Gitea is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code management, code review, issue tracking, project kanban, wiki, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD which can reuse GitHub Actions.
As Gitea is written in Go, it works across all the platforms and architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, FreeBSD/OpenBSD and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM, RISC-V 64 and PowerPC architectures.
For online demonstrations, you can visit demo.gitea.com.
For accessing free Gitea service (with a limited number of repositories), you can visit gitea.com.
To quickly deploy your own dedicated Gitea instance on Gitea Cloud, you can start a free trial at cloud.gitea.com, or use container (docker/podman/etc) to deploy on your own server with the official image.
Documentation
You can find comprehensive documentation on our official documentation website.
It includes installation, administration, usage, development, contributing guides, and more to help you get started and explore all features effectively.
If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute to it, you can visit the documentation repository
Building
See docs/build-setup.md for prerequisites and docs/development.md for setting up a local development environment, linting, and testing.
If you'd like to build from source or make a distribution package, see docs/build-source.md for more information.
After building, you can run ./gitea web to start the server, or ./gitea help to see all available commands.
Contributing
Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
Note
- YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
- New to the codebase? The development guide walks through setting up a local environment and building from source.
- If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!
Translating
Translations are done through Crowdin. If you want to translate to a new language, ask one of the managers in the Crowdin project to add a new language there.
You can also just create an issue for adding a language or ask on Discord on the #translation channel. If you need context or find some translation issues, you can leave a comment on the string or ask on Discord. For general translation questions there is a section in the docs. Currently a bit empty, but we hope to fill it as questions pop up.
Get more information from documentation.
Official and Third-Party Projects
We provide an official go-sdk, a CLI tool called tea and an action runner for Gitea Action.
We maintain a list of Gitea-related projects at gitea/awesome-gitea, where you can discover more third-party projects, including SDKs, plugins, themes, and more.
Communication
If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.
