BUG: Course blocked at step 6/7

[brianamarie]

A bug has been reported in Halp and in the Community forum, stating that the course is blocked after step 6/7.

Examples:

• https://github.com/Swaraj2904/github-actions-continuous-delivery/pull/2
• https://github.com/bsa-coder/github-actions-continuous-delivery/pull/2
• https://github.com/andpberr/github-actions-continuous-delivery/pull/2

It appears the user approves the PR, the bot merges, but then the course freezes.

One user also reported a merge conflict in this PR, but that doesn't seem consistent across all bugs.

In case anyone is curious and would like to help troubleshoot, we will likely go through the course using a tool called smee.io to trace the signals sending webhooks (from GitHub) that the bot is listening to (Learning Lab). We'll especially look for any unexpected behavior around the steps where the course is freezing.

So I just started this tonight and am stuck at the same place. I am not sure why, but my node-forge version expected by selfsigned started as 0.8.2, but then whenever i merge branches (e.g. [1], [2]), i have to resolve a conflict of bumping it to 0.9.0. Probably this merge is failing, but I'm unsure how to proceed /-: I have tried merging master to staging-test, sresolving the conflict, and pushing back to staging-test, but that was not sufficient for the lab(?) to proceed.

omg, i was trying to fix it by updating the package versions in package* on master prior to doing the rest of the lab... i deleted my first attempt 🤦‍♂️ breaking all the links above 🤦‍♂️

[brianamarie]

Thank you for your work on this, @hcientist! Out of curiosity, did you have smee.io enabled while you were testing? I wonder if that would give us any more insight 🤔

[hcientist]

Unfortunately not. I can try to make time some time this week.

[hcientist]

aight so lemme figure out smee

[brianamarie]

@hcientist It may not be helpful, but at about minute 40 of this youtube video, I walk through configuring smee.io in a Learning Lab course for debugging.

What happens if I paste this smee log?
