Fix CI/CD Pipeline Flow

The Fix CI/CD Pipeline Flow helps you automatically diagnose and fix issues in your GitLab CI/CD pipeline. This flow:

• Analyzes pipeline failure logs and error messages.
• Identifies configuration issues and syntax errors.
• Suggests specific fixes based on the type of failure.
• Creates a merge request with changes that attempt to fix a failing pipeline.

The flow can automatically fix various pipeline issues, including:

• Syntax and configuration errors.
• Common job failures.
• Dependency and workflow issues.

This flow is available in the GitLab UI only.

Prerequisites

To use this flow, you must:

• Have an existing failed pipeline.
• Have at least the Developer role in the project.
• Meet the other prerequisites.

Use the flow

To fix your CI/CD pipeline:

1. On the left sidebar, select Search or go to and find your project. If you’ve turned on the new navigation, this field is on the top bar.

2. Select Code > Merge requests and open your merge request.

3. Select the Pipelines tab.

4. In the rightmost column, for the failed pipeline you want to fix, select Fix pipeline with Duo ( ).

5. To monitor progress, select Automate > Sessions.

   After the session is complete, go back to your merge request.

6. Review the merge request and make changes as needed before merging.

What the flow analyzes

The Fix CI/CD Pipeline Flow examines:

• Pipeline logs: Error messages, failed job outputs, and exit codes.
• Merge request changes: Changes that could have caused the failure.
• The current repository contents: For identifying syntax, linting, or import errors.
• Script errors: Command failures, missing executables, or permission issues.
