CodeQL currently unavailable?

[DGuhr]

Hey 👋

We've just set up CodeQL on our repo with default mode. It all worked well until ~2h ago. All we did was switching the severity threshold from "high or higher" to "medium and higher". Afterwards I tried to manually trigger a run, which is stuck until now, see https://github.com/RedHatInsights/authz/actions/runs/5508341626 - also, suddenly on new PRs (see here: RedHatInsights/authz#192 ) the CodeQL check is neither shown nor executed.

Pls help me out here, did I do sth wrong?

Thanks!

forget it, for whatever reason codeql was disabled again - re-enabling helped.

Thanks for reporting this ❤️ We do not recommend retrying Actions when using CodeQL default mode/setup. We are looking into ways to reduce confusion with improved documentation and/or disabling retrying these types of dynamic workflows.

@orhantoy sorry to ask again, but.. we now set up the advanced workflow. Here's the yaml file: https://github.com/RedHatInsights/authz/blob/main/.github/workflows/codeql.yml you got any idea why the settings still allow me to "set up" codeql (again)? I darkly remember from another repository that they should show the path to the codql yaml used instead, right? See screenshot

The CodeQL workflow is executed as defined in the yaml, though (I changed the usual name just to make sure), see e.g. https://github.com/RedHatInsights/authz/actions/runs/5529888149

I think you have to wait until the workflow has finished at least once.
Then the UI should show it as enabled.

thx @intrigus-lgtm - sadly that already happened a few times, see https://github.com/RedHatInsights/authz/actions - still it doesn't show up. But as long as it actually works, this is "just" a UI bug that may change when some caches are emptied later on, so I don't really worry.

[intrigus-lgtm]

Ah, then I don't know.
I had the problem I described recently so I thought you might have hit the same problem.

I can see how that is confusing but let me explain: Default Setup is still available so that's why you see that option. If you click on Set up > Default you will have the option to switch over to what we call the Default setup. In your case the dialog that pops up should also include a warning, saying that doing so would disable the workflow setup.
