FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Azure DevOps CI build failures for .NET pull requests?▼

To debug Azure DevOps CI build failures for .NET pull requests, analyze the build status using the PR number to get detailed diagnostics and actionable recommendations. This distinguishes between code issues, flaky tests, and infrastructure problems.

How can I diagnose flaky tests in Helix CI jobs?▼

Diagnose flaky tests in Helix CI jobs by analyzing the job ID. This identifies whether the failure stems from a code issue or infrastructure problem, providing detailed diagnostics to determine if it is safe to retry the build.

What is the best way to troubleshoot failing .NET PR checks?▼

The best way to troubleshoot failing .NET PR checks is to analyze the CI build and test status using the PR number, build ID, or Helix job ID. This correlates failures with PR changes and searches for known issues.

Can I view build logs to identify root causes of CI test failures?▼

You can view build logs to identify root causes of CI test failures by enabling the log display option during analysis. This provides detailed diagnostics and actionable recommendations to fix build errors or flaky tests.

Does this CI analysis tool support searching for known issues in .NET repositories?▼

This CI analysis tool supports searching for known issues in .NET repositories. It correlates build and test failures with existing known problems and PR changes to deliver detailed diagnostics and actionable fix recommendations.

When should I use a build ID instead of a PR number to analyze CI failures?▼

Use a build ID instead of a PR number to analyze CI failures when you need to target a specific CI build execution directly. Both methods provide detailed diagnostics, but the build ID is useful for isolated build runs.
