Problem / Task

The issue is that curl --fail-with-body outputs the HTML body of the 404 page to stdout when it fails. This HTML is piped to tee -a "$GITHUB_OUTPUT", which causes GitHub Actions to fail with Invalid format '<!DOCTYPE html>'.

Changes

Changed --fail-with-body to --fail (-f) in .github/actions/tests/test-controller/action.yaml to prevent HTML error pages from being written to GITHUB_OUTPUT.

This PR updates the URL endpoint used by the test-controller GitHub Action. The curl command that fetches test configuration has been changed to point to a public GitHub Pages URL (https://tyktechnologies.github.io/gromit/...) instead of the previous internal endpoint (http://tui.internal.dev.tyk.technology/...).

Note: The PR title and description state the change is from curl --fail-with-body to --fail. However, the actual code modification in the diff is a URL change, while the --fail-with-body flag remains unchanged. This discrepancy should be clarified.

Files Changed Analysis

  • .github/actions/tests/test-controller/action.yaml: The single file changed, with one line modified to update the target URL in a curl command.

Architecture & Impact Assessment

  • What this PR accomplishes: It retargets the test orchestration mechanism from an internal service endpoint to a new public one hosted on GitHub Pages.
  • Key technical changes introduced: The endpoint for fetching test configurations (.gho file) is changed from http://tui.internal.dev.tyk.technology to https://tyktechnologies.github.io/gromit.
  • Affected system components: The primary component affected is the test-controller reusable GitHub Action. Consequently, all CI workflows that utilize this action will now depend on the new public endpoint for test configuration, which could impact reliability and accessibility.

Scope Discovery & Context Expansion

  • The change is localized to the test-controller action but has a broader impact on the CI/CD pipeline's external dependencies.
  • The action is responsible for fetching a .gho file, which likely contains test orchestration logic or configuration. The move to a public, static hosting service like GitHub Pages suggests a shift in how this configuration is managed and distributed.
  • To understand the full impact, one would need to investigate the workflows that use this action to see how they are affected by this new external dependency. A search for uses: ./.github/actions/tests/test-controller would identify all affected CI pipelines.

Architecture Issues (2)

Severity Location Issue
🟠 Error .github/actions/tests/test-controller/action.yaml:37
The pull request title and description state that the fix is to replace `curl --fail-with-body` with `--fail`. However, the actual code change only updates a URL and leaves the `--fail-with-body` flag in place. This means the original issue, where an HTML error body can be piped to `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` and cause a format error, is not resolved.
💡 SuggestionTo fix the underlying issue as described in the pull request, replace the `--fail-with-body` flag with `--fail` (or `-f`). This will cause curl to exit with an error on HTTP failures without writing the response body to stdout, preventing the corruption of `$GITHUB_OUTPUT`.
🔧 Suggested Fix
        curl -s --retry 5 --retry-delay 10 --fail "https://tyktechnologies.github.io/gromit/v2/$VARIATION/$REPO_NAME/$BASE_REF/$TRIGGER/$TEST_TYPE.gho" | tee -a "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
🟡 Warning .github/actions/tests/test-controller/action.yaml:37
The base URL for the service endpoint (`https://tyktechnologies.github.io/gromit`) is hardcoded within the reusable action. This couples the action to a specific environment and service, reducing its reusability. If the endpoint needs to change for different environments (e.g., staging vs. production) or other use cases, the action's code must be modified.
💡 SuggestionDecouple the action from a specific endpoint by making the base URL a configurable input. This would allow workflows using this action to provide the target URL, making the action more flexible and reusable across different projects and environments.

✅ Performance Check Passed

No performance issues found – changes LGTM.

Quality Issues (1)

Severity Location Issue
🟠 Error .github/actions/tests/test-controller/action.yaml:38
The code change does not match the pull request's stated intent. The title and description indicate that the `curl` flag `--fail-with-body` should be replaced with `--fail` to prevent invalid output on HTTP errors. However, the implemented change only alters the URL and retains the problematic `--fail-with-body` flag, meaning the original issue is not resolved. Furthermore, the significant change of the target URL is not documented in the PR description.
💡 SuggestionUpdate the `curl` command to use the `--fail` flag instead of `--fail-with-body` to correctly implement the intended fix. Additionally, update the pull request description to accurately reflect all changes, including the modification of the target URL.
