feat(cli): record why a deployment create failed - #7451
joaomdmoura wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
`crewai deploy create` counts every attempt (`Create Crew Deployment`) and every success (`Crew Deployment Created`), but the gap between them carried no cause: among clients able to emit the success span, the CLI succeeds 96.7% of the time and the run TUI 36.4%, and nothing said why. A third span, `Crew Deployment Failed`, now fires for every failure after the attempt is counted, with a closed vocabulary `reason` (api_4xx, api_5xx, invalid_response, network_error, zip_error, user_declined, unexpected), the HTTP `status_code` when the API answered, and the existing `source`. Never the error message. The request path is factored into `_request_crew_creation`; every exception is classified, reported and re-raised unchanged, so CLI and TUI behaviour is the same as before. HTTP failures are classified before `_validate_response`, which still prints and exits as it did. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Around line 142-143: Update _creation_failure_reason so uncaught OSError from
Git operations in _request_crew_creation, including _prepare_git_repository, is
not classified as zip_error. Restrict zip_error to failures from archive
generation, using a dedicated archive exception or an explicit
_create_crew_from_zip boundary while preserving ValueError and BadZipFile
handling as appropriate.
- Line 160: Update the successful deployment-response handling near the return
None path to validate that the parsed 2xx payload is a non-empty mapping
containing all required creation fields before recording
crew_deployment_created_span or calling _display_creation_success(). Classify
any malformed payload, including lists and empty or incomplete mappings, as
invalid_response and preserve normal success handling only for valid payloads.

Review fixes on the failure span. Check the HTTP class before the body so a gateway's HTML page counts as api_4xx / api_5xx with its code. Treat a 2xx whose body is not a JSON object carrying uuid and status as invalid_response and exit cleanly, instead of emitting a success span and crashing in the display step. Recognise archive failures by a dedicated ArchiveError (a ValueError) raised from create_project_zip, so the git helpers' own ValueErrors no longer read as zip_error; a failed ZIP write is wrapped and its partial file removed.

`create_project_zip` only wrapped the ZIP write, so an `OSError` while staging files or creating the temporary archive escaped as a bare `OSError` and the deploy command recorded it as `unexpected` instead of `zip_error`. The archive boundary now covers staging, temp-file creation and the write; the staging directory is removed on every path, and no partial archive is left behind.

None. Implements decision D25 of the internal Metrics 2.0 telemetry plan (a deployment failure reason was the one thing the deploy funnel could not explain).
Summary
crewai deploy createcounted attempts (Create Crew Deployment) and successes (Crew Deployment Created) but recorded nothing about the failures in between, so a 36% success rate from the run TUI had no explanation. A third span,Crew Deployment Failed, now fires for every failure after the attempt is counted, carrying a closed-vocabularyreason(api_4xx,api_5xx,invalid_response,network_error,zip_error,user_declined,unexpected), the HTTPstatus_codewhen the API answered, andsource.

Tests prove each classification (4xx with code, 5xx, non-JSON 5xx, non-JSON 2xx, non-creation 2xx bodies, transport error, archive error, git-helper error as

Follow-up, not in this PR: route the span into the telemetry warehouse once a release carries it (allowlist, stage, deployment spine, rollup, canonical view).

Note
Low Risk
Changes are limited to deploy-create telemetry classification, archive error typing, and docs; user-visible deploy behavior and error messages are re-raised unchanged.
Overview
crewai deploy createnow emits aCrew Deployment Failedtelemetry span whenever an attempt does not become a success, closing the gap between attempt and success counts. Each failure carries a fixedreason(api_4xx,api_5xx,invalid_response,network_error,zip_error,user_declined,unexpected), optional HTTPstatus_code, andsource(CLI vs run TUI)—never the error message.The deploy flow refactors API/ZIP creation into
_request_crew_creation, classifies exceptions and responses before success handling, and only firescrew_deployment_created_spanafter a valid creation payload. ZIP build failures use newArchiveError(still aValueError) with safer cleanup so partial archives are not left behind.Telemetry docs (en, ar, ko, pt-BR) document failure category and status on the crew deployment CLI row.
