can someone help me understand why my PR won't merge, skipping 1 step and passing the rest:

https://github.com/kotest/kotest/actions/runs/9550647126/job/26323103188?pr=4118

[Emil Kantis]

test_docs is just run if you've made any changes in the docs files

[Emil Kantis]

https://github.com/kotest/kotest/blob/master/.github/workflows/PR.yml#L27-48 determines what to run

[Alex Kuznetsov]

it goes like this: "#4118 was automatically removed from the merge queue due to no response for status checks", should I fix something or just rerun?

[Oliver.O]

I can take a look.

The PR test has been hit by #4112, which you can see by clicking on the details link of the failed test, then search for "failed". The exact cause is not determined yet.

Also: Tests have been extended on the Windows and macOS runners, and these runners are slooooooooow. We are still fighting flaky tests depending on timing.

So: If you have a reviewed PR like this and you can see that the failures occur only because of flaky tests unrelated to your code, you could select "Merge without waiting for requirements..:" and click on the "Merge..." button in order to merge immediately.

The situation should get better quickly as most relevant flaky test PRs have already been merged: https://github.com/kotest/kotest/issues/4113

[Alex Kuznetsov]

thanks for fixing this thing. so for now I should just rerun, expecting it to pass eventually

[Oliver.O]

Yes, you could. If it does not and you see only flaky defects, then just merge it directly.
