Answer

Root cause. vitest emits ANSI SGR sequences even when stdout is a pipe (not a TTY), so tee'd output contains ESC[1mESC[32m47 passedESC[39m. The greedy \d+-anchored grep -oP 'Test Files\s+\d+ passed' cannot match across the interleaved escape codes, so SUITES/TESTS come back empty and the assert step fails with an empty-variable error.

Fix 1 — strip ANSI before parsing. Pipe the tee'd log through sed -r 's/\x1B\[[0-9;]*[mK]//g' — this removes CSI sequences (SGR color/bold codes ESC[...m and erase-line ESC[...K) but leaves all printable text untouched — then run the existing grep assertions on the sanitized stream:

      - name: Run tests (tee'd for parsing)
        run: |
          npx vitest run --reporter=default 2>&1 | tee vitest.log
          # Strip ANSI color codes that vitest emits even when piped (non-TTY):
          sed -r 's/\x1B\[[0-9;]*[mK]//g' vitest.log > vitest.clean.log

      - name: Assert parsed test counts
        run: |
          SUITES=$(grep -oP 'Test Files\s+\d+ passed' vitest.clean.log | grep -oP '\d+')
          TESTS=$(grep -oP 'Tests\s+\d+ passed' vitest.clean.log | grep -oP '\d+')
          echo "SUITES=$SUITES TESTS=$TESTS"
          [ -n "$SUITES" ] || { echo "!! empty SUITES"; exit 1; }
          [ -n "$TESTS"  ] || { echo "!! empty TESTS";  exit 1; }

The regex \x1B\[[0-9;]*[mK] covers: plain SGR (ESC[32m), multi-parameter SGR (ESC[1;32m), extended 256-color (ESC[38;5;Nm) and truecolor (ESC[38;2;R;G;Bm), plus erase-line (ESC[2K, ESC[K) suffixes vitest appends when rendering. Because \x1B is the literal byte and [/] are character classes, the -r (ERE) mode needs no over-escaping and won't touch the word passed or the numbers.

Fix 2 — branch trigger. The [main, develop] push filter silently skipped 16 pushes on the active feat/native-s3 branch, so the CI gate never ran for that work. Add the feature branch (or a glob) to the filter; or, if every push should gate, drop the filter entirely:

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop, "feat/*"]   # now covers feat/native-s3
  pull_request:

(Alternative if the pipeline is PR-gated anyway: keep push restricted and rely on pull_request triggers, or use branches-ignore.)


Evidence & signatures

I reproduced the failure and verified the fix in `/tmp/vitest-ansi-verify` with a generator that mimics vitest's piped output, then tested 7 edge cases. Actual results:

| Test | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Raw tee'd log starts `1b 5b 31 6d 1b 5b 33 32 6d...` (confirmed via `xxd`) | ANSI present as expected |
| **Buggy:** `grep -oP 'Test Files\s+\d+ passed' vitest.log` | **MATCHED NOTHING → empty SUITES/TESTS → step fails** |
| **Fixed:** `sed -r 's/\x1B\[[0-9;]*[mK]//g' vitest.log \| grep -oP ...` | `Test Files 47 passed`, `Tests 132 passed`, `Assertions 2 failed` |
| Edge 1: already ANSI-free input | no-op, still matches (`Test Files 3 passed`) |
| Edge 2: zero counts (`0 passed`) | matches — `\d+` accepts 0 |
| Edge 3: `ESC[2K`/`ESC[K` clear-line codes | stripped, `Tests 7 passed` matches |
| Edge 4: truecolor `ESC[38;2;255;0;0m` | stripped, `Test Files 11 passed` matches |
| Edge 5: `failed`/`skipped` lines | survive stripping and match |
| Edge 6: full step semantics (`SUITES=$(grep ... \| grep -oP '\d+')`) | `SUITES=47 TESTS=132`, step PASSES with `-n` guards |
| Edge 7: branch filter | `branches: [main, develop, "feat/*"]` covers `feat/native-s3`; `branches-ignore` alternative documented |

No regression risk: the sed transform only removes bytes in the `ESC [ … m|K` shape, which cannot appear in normal test names or numeric output, so counts and assertions are unaffected for clean logs.
