Troubleshooting

No manifests were found

Confirm that the repository was checked out, working-directory points inside GITHUB_WORKSPACE, and each files line matches JSON or YAML content. Directory traversal is shallow unless recursive: true is set.

- uses: actions/checkout@v7
  with:
    persist-credentials: false
- uses: f5-sales-demo/xcsh-action@v1
  with:
    operation: validate
    working-directory: deployment
    files: manifests/
    recursive: true

The Action does not accept a URL or - as a file entry. Commit the file or use manifest for inline content.

An input combination is rejected

The Action validates operation-specific constraints before installing or running xcsh:

apply, create, update, diff, and validate require at least one manifest.
resource-kind and resource-name cannot be combined with manifest files.
File-free delete requires both resource-kind and resource-name.
export requires exactly one of resource-kind or all: true and does not accept manifests.
all and export-file are valid only for export.
dry-run: client is valid only for apply, create, update, and delete.

Compare the workflow with the input reference.

Authentication fails

Verify that the API URL includes the correct tenant endpoint, the token is current, and the token can operate on the selected resource kind and namespace. The Action does not use a console user name or password.

If the manifest contains a namespace and the workflow also sets namespace, the workflow value wins. Confirm that this override is intentional.

GitHub reports an API rate limit

The locked xcsh version does not need a GitHub API lookup. An exact version override resolves release digests and can encounter the unauthenticated API limit. Pass the workflow token only for this lookup:

with:
  xcsh-version: v20.4.0
  github-token: ${{ github.token }}

A digest or download check fails

Do not bypass integrity enforcement. Confirm that the requested version is an exact published release and retry a transient network failure. A missing asset, duplicate release asset, malformed digest, or hash mismatch is a hard failure by design.

Use xcsh-version: locked to return to the Action’s tested release.

Diff found changes but the step passed

This is expected. Unlike kubectl diff, xcsh reports a difference as a successful result. Test steps.<id>.outputs.changed, different, and new to decide what the workflow should do next.

Create or update fails on resource state

create fails when the resource already exists, and update fails when it is absent. Use apply when either state is valid, or keep the strict operation when the state mismatch should stop automation.

Export output is rejected

Export accepts output: json or output: yaml; auto selects YAML. Set export-file to save the reusable manifest. result-file is separate and contains the aggregate operation report.

Cleanup did not complete

Retry deletion with the same explicit kind, name, and namespace. Use get to verify final absence. Do not use all: true as a cleanup shortcut because it is an export selector and can enumerate unrelated resources.
