Syntax error specifying fail-fast: false

[lucywyman]

Hello! I was recently adding a matrix to our Github Actions, and when I tried to set fail-fast to false like so:

  test:
    name: Linux tests
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        ruby: [2.7, 3.0]
    steps:
...

It raise the following error in Github Actions:

fail-fast-false1633×1071 66.6 KB

It seems like this is directly related to fail-fast, but I’m not sure why it won’t accept false when true is the default?

Bolt is an open source orchestration tool that automates the manual work it takes to maintain your infrastructure on an as-needed basis or as part of a greater orchestration workflow. It can be ins...

The parent key needs to be strategy.

If you put it under matrix instead, then it is treated like any other user-defined matrix option with no special meaning. GitHub expects an array however, which explains the error message. If you passed [false] then it would be accepted as matrix option, but the combinations “Ruby 2.7, false” and “Ruby 3.0, false” aren’t meaningful.
