We upgraded from 10.3 to 2025.1 and this is one of a few bugs we encountered.
Found the following stacktrace in the ce.log

Hi @michha,

Thank you for reporting this issue!

I have created a ticket to investigate this issue.

I don’t know yet if it’s caused by the migration or simply a bug in the 2025.1.

Would you have more info that we could use to create a reproducer, for example:

  • Do you have this issue on a single project or many?
  • Does it happen for every analysis?
  • Is it happening for a specific branch?

We will try to reproduce on our side and keep you updated.

Best,

Seems like a very rare condition.
We upgraded on friday, 14th february.
In the ce logs from monday until today I found 618 times ComputationStepExecutor] Publish task results

The reported exception (PersistPushEventsStep] Error during publishing push event) happend on monday twice on the same project, never again on any project since then.

PR analysis on the same project some minutes before and some hours later had no problems.
