Retrying a failed build

[copper linden]

It would be awesome if you could retry a build in the Deployments UI that was triggered via the GitHub integration. Unless I’m missing something, if I need to retry a build I have to push a new repo change to trigger a build.

Thanks!

Hi @copper linden. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I’m sorry, but the knowledge sources don’t mention any way to retry a deployment build from the Deployments UI, including those triggered via the GitHub integration. They only describe:

• How GitHub integration automatically creates deployments on every push to tracked branches. [GitHub integration]
• How task runs can be replayed (with the same payload, against the latest version), including bulk replay of runs. [Replaying; Bulk actions]
• How versions are created and promoted on each deployment. [Deployment versions; Versioning]

There’s no explicit documentation of a “retry build” button or equivalent for deployments themselves, and no alternative flow is described other than creating a new deployment (e.g., via another push or manual trigger.dev deploy).

So based on the docs provided, your understanding is correct: the documented way to get a new deployment is to trigger a new deployment rather than “retrying” an existing failed build.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
