Description

Node.js version

22

NPM version

10

@checkly/cli version

6.15

Steps to reproduce
  • create a check returning a failure
  • set a Slack alert channel to receive alerts in case of failure
  • run checkly trigger
  • no alert is sent to the Slack channel and nothing in the run results panel of the check
What is expected?

I expect to receive an alert in the Slack channel I configured

What is actually happening?

When I run the tests with checkly test or when the check is ran at a scheduled time the alert is received in Slack channel.
I expect to have the same behavior when I ran checkly trigger

Any additional comments?

My use case is to run the checks after a deployment has been done.

Research direction

Start by tracing the checkly trigger entry point and compare its alert behavior with checkly test and scheduled runs. Reproduce a failing check with a configured Slack alert, then verify that the alert is sent and the run appears in the check's run results panel.
