Fetch Buildkite Logs

Prerequisites

• BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN must be set in the environment (typically ~/.bashrc)
• If not configured, direct user to doc/source/ray-contribute/agent-development.md for setup

Parsing the Buildkite URL

A Buildkite URL has the form:

https://buildkite.com/ray-project/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>#<JOB_ID>

Always extract <PIPELINE> (e.g. premerge, postmerge) and <BUILD_NUM> from the URL the user provides. Do not hardcode premerge — the same skill is used for all pipelines. If a #<JOB_ID> fragment is present, it identifies a specific real job (not a group/wait job) and can be queried directly.

Steps

1. Verify token: [ -n "$BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" ] && echo "token set" || echo "token MISSING" (do not echo the token itself — a command that prints secret characters gets blocked)
2. If token missing, stop and show setup instructions from the dev docs
3. Fetch build (use the pipeline from the URL):

   curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/ray-project/pipelines/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>"
   

4. If a job ID is present in the URL fragment, look it up directly:

   curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/ray-project/pipelines/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>" \
     | python3 -c "import sys,json; jobs=json.load(sys.stdin)['jobs']; [print(f\"{j['id']} {j.get('name')} -> {j.get('state')}\") for j in jobs if j['id']=='<JOB_ID>']"
   

5. Otherwise list failed/broken jobs:

   curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/ray-project/pipelines/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>" \
     | python3 -c "import sys,json; jobs=json.load(sys.stdin)['jobs']; [print(f\"{j['id']} {j.get('name')} -> {j['state']}\") for j in jobs if j.get('state') in ('failed','broken')]"
   

6. Fetch individual job log:

   curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/ray-project/pipelines/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>/jobs/<JOB_ID>/log" \
     > /tmp/log_<JOB_ID>.json
   

   Logs come back as JSON with a content field containing ANSI escape codes — strip them with re.sub(r'\x1b\[[0-9;]*m', '', content) before grepping.
7. Summarize failures and suggest fixes.

Artifacts

If the log does not let you identify the root cause, look for more logs in the job's artifacts.

The token needs the read_artifacts scope in addition to read_build_logs; without it these calls return HTTP 403.

1. List a job's artifacts (raise page if a full page of 100 comes back):

   curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/ray-project/pipelines/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>/jobs/<JOB_ID>/artifacts?per_page=100&page=1"
   

2. Download one by its id:

   curl -fsL -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/ray-project/pipelines/<PIPELINE>/builds/<BUILD_NUM>/jobs/<JOB_ID>/artifacts/<ARTIFACT_ID>/download" \
     -o /tmp/<ARTIFACT_ID>
   

   -L is required: the endpoint returns HTTP 302 and redirects to S3. Keep the Authorization header — curl drops it on the cross-host hop, which is what S3 wants (sending it yields 400 InvalidRequest).
3. If the artifact is a zip, unzip it — the logs are inside. If that is still not enough, try another artifact.

Authentication note

If curl returns {"message":"No organization found"}, the configured token does not have access to ray-project. The user may have a separate org-scoped token — ask them which env var to source.
