ci: skip the GPU suite for documentation-only PRs - #144
Conversation
gpu-tests has a bare `pull_request:` trigger, so a PR touching only docs or repo config costs ~36 minutes on the single self-hosted runner. PR #142 (.coderabbit.yaml + a template) and #143 (CODEOWNERS + .gitignore) both paid it. The obvious fix is wrong, and the file already says so at the top: `gpu-tests` is a required status check, and a path-filtered required check never reports on non-matching PRs, leaving them unmergeable forever. So the job still runs on every PR and still reports; what it skips is the expensive work. A scope step diffs against the PR base and gates the buildx/GHCR/build/pytest/CP steps. Fail-safe by construction: the suite is skipped only when EVERY changed file matches a known-inert pattern, so an unrecognised path — a new source directory, say — always runs. This workflow itself, Dockerfile, pyproject.toml and requirements* are deliberately not inert. Implemented with shell `case` globs rather than a regex. The first version used `grep -qvE` and appeared to misclassify mixed docs+source PRs as skippable. That turned out to be a local artifact — `grep` on this workstation is a function wrapping ugrep, which returns 1 from `-v` even when it matches — but the lesson stands: logic guarding a required check should not depend on which grep the runner provides. Verified by extracting the step's actual script and running it against real inputs: docs+source, PR #143's file list, Dockerfile, pyproject, requirements and an unknown path all produce needed=true; PR #142's list, docs-only and README-only produce needed=false. Also requires fetch-depth: 0 on checkout so the base diff resolves. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Farhad Ramezanghorbani <farhadr@nvidia.com>

Treat changed paths as literals.
Line 75 expands $CHANGED after word splitting. Bash then applies pathname expansion.
If a PR adds [d]ocs/payload and docs/payload, the first name expands to docs/payload. Both loop values then match docs/*, so the workflow skips the GPU suite although [d]ocs/payload is an unrecognized path.
Disable pathname expansion during this loop, or read NUL-delimited Git paths.
