Github actions deployment suddenly hanging

I have a personal website which uses github pages to host and deploy, https://github.com/tonydavis629/personal-site. It was working fine until yesterday when it suddenly started hanging on the Build and Deploy stage of my deployment. It will hang for hours until it says it is cancelled. Here is the output of the failed stage on the Actions tab on github


2h 22m 54s
Run git config user.name "Automated"

> [email protected] predeploy
> npm run build && react-snap


> [email protected] build
> rimraf ./build && react-scripts build

The project was built assuming it is hosted at /.
You can control this with the homepage field in your package.json.

The build folder is ready to be deployed.
You may serve it with a static server:

  npm install -g serve
  serve -s build

Error: The operation was canceled.

I notice that something changed in the Deployments / History page where suddenly it was being deployed by Github Actions 'on behalf' of me, instead of by me. Here is a picture of what I mean.

Deployment History

Since the last successful deployment the only thing I changed was adding some text, it seems clear that whatever is messed up is within gh-pages and not a build failure or anything like that. I'm not sure what to do, can anyone help? Thanks.

After struggling with a deployment that "hung" (it sat in the deploy phase for over an hour, I canceled it and restarted it to no avail, and then could not cancel it again...) the following worked for me:

  • In Settings for your project navigate to the GitHub Pages section: gh-pages site
  • In the Branch section change /(root) to /docs via the dropdown
  • Save
  • Immediately change back to /(root), and Save again This triggered a deployment without any further action on my part, and I was subsequently able to deploy again. Hope it helps someone!

My issue was that github's latest ubuntu was updated to 22.04. I reset it manually to ubuntu-20.04 in my github-pages.yml workflow and it fixed the problem. I'm sure there is a better solution but this is working for me now.
