DevInCi — Debug CI like it's local
Live CI Debugging
The Problem
Log-only debugging
Scrolling through thousands of log lines hoping to spot the issue. Push a debug statement, wait 20 minutes, repeat.
Unreproducible failures
Tests pass locally but fail in CI. The container is gone before you can inspect anything.
Environment mismatch
Your local machine doesn't match CI. Different OS, different deps, different config. 'Works on my machine' at its worst.
How ASD Helps
Web Terminal (ttyd)
Full terminal in your browser. Run commands, inspect files, check environment variables — all inside the actual CI runner.
VS Code in Browser (code-server)
Switch the interface to code-server and get a full VS Code IDE in your browser. Edit files, run debuggers, install extensions.
Shareable Debug Sessions
Every session gets a unique HTTPS URL with embedded credentials. Share it with a teammate — two pairs of eyes on the same environment.
GitHub Actions + GitLab CI/CD
Install from the GitHub Marketplace or the GitLab CI/CD Catalog. Works on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows runners.
Three Auth Modes
API key for production use, ephemeral tokens for quick debugging, or pre-existing credentials from the ASD CLI. Choose what fits your workflow.
Pause on Failure
Configure pipelines to pause instead of exit. Debug in the exact failing state before the container is cleaned up.
How It Works
Create an API key
Generate an API key with cicd:provision scope in your ASD workspace. Add it as ASD_API_KEY in your CI provider's secrets.
Add DevInCi to your pipeline
GitHub: install asd-devinci from the Marketplace. GitLab: include the component from the CI/CD Catalog. One block of YAML.
Trigger on failure
DevInCi starts a web terminal or VS Code inside the CI runner and exposes it via a secure tunnel URL.
Click the URL, debug live
Open the URL in any browser. Full shell access to the exact environment where the failure happened. No SSH keys needed.
Example
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: npm ci
- run: npm test
- name: DevInCi — Debug on failure
if: failure()
uses: asd-engineering/asd-devinci@v1
with:
api-key: ${{ secrets.ASD_API_KEY }}
tunnel-name: debug-${{ github.run_id }}Available on the GitHub Marketplace. Full setup guide → /en/howto/devinci-setup
