Hi!

I’ve enabled GitHub integration for CircleCI Checks on the following repository: [https://github.com/zededa/eve](https://github.com/zededa/eve) and used Workflows as recommended.

The good news is that pushes to the master do indeed trigger the CircleCI builds.

The bad news is try as hard as I might – I can’t seem to be able to make CircleCI build on Pull Requests.

Can somebody please advise?

Thanks,  
Roman.

Hi there! Is this a forked PR? You have those disabled in [https://circleci.com/gh/zededa/eve/edit#advanced-settings](https://circleci.com/gh/zededa/eve/edit#advanced-settings)

Also, if the fork owner is running the project on CircleCI, the jobs will run under their account and not under the parent until the PR is merged.

That was it @drazisil – thank you so much – not sure how I missed that setting.

Now that I enabled it – the build got triggered – so that’s good. But then the build failed for internal CircleCI reasons (couldn’t allocate a VM) and I didn’t get any notifications on the PR:  
[https://circleci.com/gh/zededa/eve/4](https://circleci.com/gh/zededa/eve/4)

Am I missing something still?

No, that is our current incident. [https://status.circleci.com/incidents/vdpxk146zczc](https://status.circleci.com/incidents/vdpxk146zczc)

It should run soon.
