coveralls.io

[julian@activitypub.space]

So NodeBB tests have been failing for the past few days because coveralls.io is down.

Coveralls is a code coverage bot that is free for open source projects. We implemented it years ago and it's been trucking along fine all these years.

While coveralls being down technically prevents us from running our tool to launch a new version, we could always just do it manually.

Their outage page is here: https://status.coveralls.io/

They are on day 3 of the outage and have absolutely no idea when things will come back up.

This paragraph is worded curiously:

> We want to be transparent with you: after two full days of working directly with our hosting provider’s account team, we still do not have an ETA for service restoration. Despite having internal sponsorship within our provider’s organization, we have been unable to get the traction needed to resolve what appears to have been an automated action, one that no one on their side has taken ownership of causing or fixing.

(Emphasis mine.)

Perhaps I have been reading too many AI-doomer articles. This sounds like an AI agent went in and started deleting shit.

The post mortem is going to be very very very interesting.
