GitHub Actions stuck: Expected - Waiting for status to be reported


GitHub Actions have stopped running. They are stuck with the message: "Expected - Waiting for status to be reported". Other messages on the pull request page are: "Checks awaiting conflict resolution" and "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved". How do I fix this issue?

Solution

  • Resolve the merge conflicts specified under the message "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved", and push the changes. This automatically triggers GitHub Actions.

    Workflows will not run on pull_request activity if the pull request has a merge conflict. The merge conflict must be resolved first.
