A "Code scanning results" action always marked with a grey square whenever it is supposed to run.

An example can be seen here.

How can I fix it? I've seen & tried some solutions, but nothing solved the problem.

The recommendations that I found were from a few years ago, so things might have subsequently changed, anyway.

The output from attempting to run the action is::

1 configuration not found

hi @rgoldberg, I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem. I initially thought this might have been related to github/codeql-action#1179, but your setup seems like it should be working. I will ask internally for someone to look at this.

[rgoldberg]

@redsun82 Any luck looking into this? I let it fall by the wayside, but can get back to it now. I haven't looked into it or changed it.

Here's my unchanged codeql.yml.

Thanks.

@redsun82 The issue seems to stem from language: swift, as there is an error only for that, not for language: actions.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

[rgoldberg]

@redsun82 Thanks for the reply. I saw that discussion.

I tried the script from github/codeql-action#1179 (comment); it only deleted one analysis.

New deletable analyses are now being generated, but the same problem occurred when there were no deletable analyses, so these new ones shouldn't be causing the problem.

Hi @rgoldberg,

It seems like the codeql.yml file might be missing or misconfigured. Try these:

• Check for the codeql.yml file: It should be in the .github/workflows folder on the main branch.
• Verify the file setup: Make sure it's set up correctly for the language you're using (e.g., Swift).
• Re-run the workflow: After fixing, try running the workflow again.
• Update the action: Make sure you're using the latest version of the codeql-action.

fwiw, here's the relevant file as it was when this discussion was opened for 715-scripts.

it remains unchanged in main

@jsoref Are you encountering this, too?

Thanks.

More or less, yes, but I'm not using codeql-action, I'm using my own implementation:

So I'm trying to figure out what any of this stuff technically means.

Note that I've occasionally contributed to github/codeql-action, but at this time I'm mostly reimplementing the pieces so I don't need to rely on it.

@jsoref I know almost nothing about CodeQL. I just tried enabling it to hopefully discover any problems in my code. I can't even remember the exact problems I had with it. I'll happily try stuff out if people who know CodeQL ins & outs (likely GitHub employees) let me know what to do, but I probably won't myself proactively investigate as it would probably take more time than it's worth given my lack of knowledge about CodeQL.
