One Pipeline to Rule Them All: Ensuring CodeQL Scanning Results and Dependency Scanning Results Go to the Intended Repository
- In the world of code scanning and dependency scanning, ensuring CodeQL scanning results and Dependency Scanning results go to the correct repository is crucial.
- Improper configuration may lead to results getting published to the wrong repository, causing chaos.
- To address this issue, utilizing inferred publishing is recommended to automatically detect the repository based on the current working directory.
- Using inferred publishing helps ensure that scan results go to the intended repository, preventing misplacements.
- When using inferred publishing, errors may occur in multi-repo scenarios due to ambiguity in determining the valid Git repository.
- To handle errors, setting 'workspaceRepo: true' can explicitly identify the correct repository for analysis and publication.
- The configuration provided in the guide is applicable not only to CodeQL static analysis but also to Dependency Scanning.
- It is crucial to ensure that Dependency Scanning results are also directed to the intended repository by configuring the pipeline appropriately.
- By adopting inferred publishing and best practices, developers can efficiently manage their code scanning workflows and enhance security measures.
- Configuring the pipeline correctly using inferred publishing can significantly impact the team's security workflows and overall code scanning efficiency.
