Giteabot 7199547218 fix(actions): explain why a blocked or waiting job has not started (#38476) (#38498)
Backport #38476 by @bircni

When an Actions job is blocked or waiting, the job view only shows the
generic **Blocked** / **Waiting** label. Users have no way to tell *why*
a job is stuck — whether it's waiting on dependencies, waiting for a
runner that doesn't exist, waiting for a runner whose labels don't
match, or simply queued behind busy runners.

## Change

The current-job detail line now surfaces the actual cause:

- **Blocked** → lists the dependency jobs (`needs`) that haven't
finished yet, e.g. *"Waiting for the following jobs to complete:
build."*
- **Waiting**, no online runner → *"No runner is online to pick up this
job."*
- **Waiting**, online runners but none match `runs-on` → *"No matching
online runner with label: X"* (reuses the existing string)
- **Waiting**, a matching runner exists but hasn't claimed the job →
*"Waiting for a matching runner to become available."*

The runner lookup reuses the same available-online-runner query the run
list already performs, and only runs while a selected job is actually
pending. Dependency resolution is scoped to the same parent job and
treats matrix expansions of a `need` as pending until all of them
complete.

Gitea

繁體中文 | 简体中文

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

  1. YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
  2. New to the codebase? The development guide walks through setting up a local environment and building from source.
  3. If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!

Translating

Crowdin

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.
