Description

When calling the checkout action, an error will be reported. This is the task link: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/actions/runs/14889303999/job/41817146967?pr=72610.

Occasionally, it doesn't happen every time, but sometimes it succeeds after rerun.

This is my code

  • name: Clone paddle
    uses: actions/checkout@v4
    with:
    ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }}
    submodules: 'recursive'
    fetch-depth: 1000

Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions job log and the provided actions/checkout@v4 configuration. Reproduce the intermittent failure using recursive submodules and fetch-depth 1000, comparing failed and successful reruns. Done means the checkout completes reliably without the reported submodule error.
