What changed

  • Run on Latchkey managed runners with one line (runs-on), which apply the fixes below automatically and self-heal transient failures. This example uses latchkey-small; pick the runner size that fits the job.
  • Cancel superseded runs when a branch or PR gets a newer push.

What Latchkey heals here

This workflow has steps that commonly fail on transient issues (network, registries, flaky browsers). On Latchkey managed runners they are detected, retried, and self-healed instead of failing your build:

  • Dependency installs
  • End-to-end and browser tests

This workflow runs 5 jobs per trigger. On Latchkey the same minutes cost up to 58% less than GitHub-hosted, with zero queue time.

Frequently asked questions

What does the CI workflow (sveltejs/svelte) workflow do?
This is the CI workflow from the sveltejs/svelte repository, a real project running GitHub Actions. It is shown here with attribution under its MIT license.
What CI health grade does this workflow get?
This Node.js workflow grades A. Paste your own workflow into the Latchkey grader to see its grade and the exact fixes.
How can I improve this Node.js workflow?
Apply run de-duplication. Latchkey applies these automatically on managed runners when you point runs-on at Latchkey.
