Feature: Add button to re-run failed jobs in Actions by bircni · Pull Request #36924 · go-gitea/gitea

bircni · 2026-03-18T20:53:00Z

Summary

Adds a "Re-run failed jobs" button to the Actions run view, matching the behaviour available on GitHub. When clicked, only failed jobs and their downstream dependents are rerun — passing jobs are left untouched.

Adds RerunFailedWorkflowRunJobs service function and GetFailedRerunJobs helper
Adds web route POST /{run}/rerun-failed and handler
Adds API endpoint POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run}/rerun-failed-jobs
The button is only shown when the run is done and has at least one failed job; "Re-run all jobs" is shown alongside it

UI: dropdown button? Currently "Re-run failed jobs" and "Re-run all jobs" are two separate buttons shown side by side. Should they be combined into a single split/dropdown button (primary action = re-run failed, secondary = re-run all) to reduce visual clutter? --> yes

I tried to do my best to implement this and used Claude Code as assistance

Adds a "Re-run failed jobs" button to the Actions run view that reruns only failed jobs and their downstream dependents, matching GitHub's behaviour described in issue go-gitea#35997. - Add `RerunFailedWorkflowRunJobs` service function - Add `GetFailedRerunJobs` helper with full test coverage - Add web route `POST /{run}/rerun-failed` and handler `RerunFailed` - Add API route `POST /runs/{run}/rerun-failed-jobs` - Show button only when the run is done and has at least one failed job - Extract `checkRunRerunAllowed` guard shared by both web handlers - Merge `validateRunForRerun` into `prepareRunRerun` (one function) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@wxiaoguang is anything missing?

wxiaoguang · 2026-03-20T11:59:46Z

I can review for the code-level.

For feature&function level, it's better to ask Actions users to review (I don't use Actions)

I will review it later. It's better if @Zettat123 could also review it.

Is it possible to merge "RerunWorkflowRunJobs" functions?

It seems that it only needs one general function: RerunWorkflowRunJobs(ctx, allJobs, jobsToRerun)

Rerun one job: RerunWorkflowRunJobs(ctx, allJobs, jobsToRerun, []*Job{singleJob})
Rerun all jobs: RerunWorkflowRunJobs(ctx, allJobs, allJobs)
Rerun failed jobs: RerunWorkflowRunJobs(ctx, allJobs, getFailedJobs(allJobs))

should be - give me some minutes to check
