custom-ci-build-id example timeout in master branch

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

The workflow example-custom-ci-build-id.yml has sporadically failed several times in the last days in the master branch.

Workflows filtered by the master branch are shown with:

https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/actions/workflows/example-custom-ci-build-id.yml?query=branch%3Amaster

An example error message is:

The run you are attempting to access is already complete and will not accept new groups.

The existing run is: https://cloud.cypress.io/projects/3tb7jn/runs

When a run finishes all of its groups, it waits for a configurable set of time before finally completing. You must add more groups during that time period.

The --tag flag you passed was:
The --group flag you passed was: 2 - all tests
The --parallel flag you passed was: true
The --ciBuildId flag you passed was: sha-6d4f8f59600b4259fe501be43a99bfc6c05c5927-time-1746045680

https://on.cypress.io/already-complete
Error: The process '/usr/local/bin/npx' failed with exit code 1

Suggestion

Examine the value of the Cypress Cloud project https://cloud.cypress.io/projects/3tb7jn Parallelization / Run Completion Delay setting and determine if it should be increased. This needs to be done by somebody in the Cypress.io team with admin access to the project.

• Merge of PR feat: validate other parameters against command parameter when used #1445 into the master branch with 0ee1130 also failed in example-custom-ci-build-id.yml

[MikeMcC399]

• The workflow has been changed in test: harmonize example custom-ci-build-id to use module API only #1454 from hybrid Cypress Module API + CLI call to instead only use Module API.
• I am closing this issue now and will re-open if the issue occurs again with the changed configuration.

The issue is still occurring

Delta is 1:20
Default for Run Completion Delay is 1:00

GitHub Actions is taking too long to start job All tests after the Smoke tests job has completed.

The Run Completion Delay for project 3tb7jn needs to be increased accordingly

Same issue for merge of PR #1457 into master branch

I've set this setting to 100 seconds. It was set to 60 seconds.

@jennifer-shehane

I've set this setting to 100 seconds. It was set to 60 seconds.

Thank you! For some reason it has lately become a problem, and it only seems to affect merging into the master branch, not testing in a fork, so it's a little strange why it has become selectively slower.

The extra 40 seconds should be enough. We'll see anyway.
