Buildkite has this nice (new?) feature that adds checkmarks to the names of the steps if the logs contain either checks or crosses, and accounts for the numbers of checks.
This is really nice, but it’s breaking the integration with Github status checks, since the names are changed mid build and the `completed` events sent do not have the same names as the ones created to begin with. This means that The inital checks are left hanging (and blocking a `completed` status on the builds) 👇
While some new ones get created at the end, but are not useful to get a green/red build out of the github checks integration.
Are you aware of this? Is there a mitigation strategy or a fix incoming?
Thanks in advance

Hi @zenogueira On initial review, I have not been able to replicate this so far, please can you share a build link for this so I can review further. Also wanted to check if this is consistent with any other build you have tested or only with this pipeline. Thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply.
We are only running this script on this pipeline.
Where can i send you the build link? support email?
Thank you

Hi, just wanted to say that after some investigation we realized that there was a script that was getting imported that did this step label management, which caused the issue.
Sorry, i spent some time looking at it, and didn’t see that we had this extra step.
Thanks for your help debugging
