fix(ci): make qlty check actually analyze files - #481
Conversation
The Qlty Check job has never analyzed a single file. Both `qlty check` and `qlty smells` default to changed-files-only and resolve the comparison from local branch refs; actions/checkout leaves PR runs on a detached merge ref with no local branch, so qlty fell back to HEAD, found nothing, and reported `No issues`. actionlint, trufflehog and osv-scanner have never run. The failure is invisible from a laptop, where a local branch always exists. - Pass an explicit `--upstream` to both commands and restrict the job to pull_request, the only event with a real base ref. Under the previous snippet a push to main resolves to `origin/main` == HEAD and analyzes nothing, recreating the same vacuous green. - osv-scanner's plugin declares `skip_upstream`, so changed-file runs drop it entirely. Give it its own `--all` step, reporting-only for now: it finds 12 medium CVEs in src/test/vscode-notebook-perf/package-lock.json today. - Raise the timeout from 3 minutes, which was only ever plausible for a job that did no work. Also fix seven qlty.toml entries that were silently discarded on every run: - `exclude_patterns` sat under `[[source]]`, so TOML bound it to that table. It has to precede every table header, `[[plugin]]` included. Dropped `build/**` (48 tracked source files live there, so activating the pattern would newly hide real code from the scanners) and `.git/**` (never a target). - Six smell names are Code Climate's, not qlty's. Renamed to file_complexity, function_complexity, identical_code and similar_code; dropped function_length, large_class and long_parameter_list, which have no equivalent. Thresholds are qlty's defaults rather than the old numbers, whose units do not carry over.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Qlty configuration now excludes dependency, distribution, coverage, and minified files. It uses updated complexity and code-similarity checks with new thresholds. The Qlty CI job runs only for pull requests, compares against the pull request base reference, and has a 10-minute timeout. A separate non-blocking OSV dependency scan checks all files. Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The workflow now analyzes pull-request files and enforces quality findings, but the dependency report is skipped when an earlier quality check fails, reducing vulnerability visibility on affected PRs.

A step with no `if:` carries an implicit success(), so a failing `qlty check` or `qlty smells` skipped the OSV report on exactly the runs someone is already looking at. Guarded the same way as the Codecov upload at ci.yml:142. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011Kgq63XyXuKc6QM4WK4gi2
Adopts the ref-conditional invocation from deepnote-internal's Code Quality job (deepnote-internal 1f754c86cc), which the previous commit's `if: pull_request` job guard worked around instead: a pull request compares against its base, and anywhere without a base scans the whole tree rather than not running at all. osv-scanner stays out of the full-tree filter — the dedicated step below still reports its findings without gating on them, and gating would turn main red on 12 untriaged CVEs. Guarding `qlty smells` with !cancelled() comes from watching the opposite play out in that repo: an unrelated image-size CVE failed `qlty check` on develop, and the implicit success() on the following steps silently skipped both the smells pass and madge circular-dependency analysis for nine days.

Fixes #480.
What was wrong
The
Qlty Checkjob has never analyzed a single file. It passed on every PR because it found nothing to look at.qlty checkandqlty smellsboth default to changed-files-only and resolve the comparison from local branch refs.actions/checkoutleaves PR runs on a detached merge ref with no local branch, so qlty fell back toHEAD, produced an empty file set, and reported✔ No issues. actionlint, trufflehog and osv-scanner have never run once since the job was added in #30.Separately, seven
.qlty/qlty.tomlentries were discarded on every run — printed asWARNING: ... will be ignoredinside a job whose result was always green.Beyond the issue
Three things #480 did not cover, found while verifying it:
--upstreamalone would not have fixed osv-scanner. Its qlty plugin declaresskip_upstream = true, so it is dropped from changed-file runs entirely. It needs its own--allpass.package-lock.json. It is 2.68 MB; qlty silently skips files above ~2.1–2.5 MB (bisected in a scratch repo). Even with--allit only reachessrc/test/vscode-notebook-perf/package-lock.json.qlty smellsexits 0 even with findings, so that step is informational and can never fail the job,mode = "block"notwithstanding.Changes
.github/workflows/ci.yml--upstream "$UPSTREAM_REF"on both commands, passed via job-levelenvrather than inlined intorun:.pull_request. Under--upstream origin/${{ github.base_ref || 'main' }}a push tomainresolves toorigin/main == HEADand analyzes nothing — the same vacuous green this PR is fixing. A gate that only claims to run where it can actually compare is more honest than a checkmark that means nothing.qlty check --all --filter osv-scanner --no-failstep.timeout-minutes: 3→10. Three minutes was only ever plausible for a job that did no work..qlty/qlty.tomlexclude_patternsmoved above every table header. In TOML a bare key after[[source]]binds to that table; note it has to clear[[plugin]]too, which comes first in the file. Droppedbuild/**— 48 tracked source files live there, so activating that pattern would newly hide real code from the scanners — and.git/**, which is never a qlty target.file_length→file_complexity,cognitive_complexity→function_complexity,duplicate_code→identical_code+similar_code; droppedfunction_length,large_class,long_parameter_list, which have no equivalent. Thresholds are qlty's defaults, not the old numbers — the units differ (duplicate_code = 6meant lines;identical_codecounts structural mass), so carrying them over would have been meaningless precision.Verification
Installed qlty 0.642.0 locally and ran everything against a faithful reproduction of the CI checkout — a cloned repo on a detached PR-merge HEAD with no local branches.
JOBS: 0,No modified files for checks were found on your branch.— matches the CI log in #480 verbatim--upstream origin/main→JOBS: 2, actionlint + trufflehog on 3 filesgithub.evnt_name→ exit 1, actionlint flags itqlty config validatesilent, exit 0;qlty config showlists all patterns and smells--no-fail--upstream HEAD~20(197 changed files) →✔ No issues, 13snpm run formatpasses; actionlint clean on the modifiedci.ymlNot verified: trufflehog's detection. Invocation is proven (the invoke YAML shows the command and 300 chunks / 3.85 MB scanned), but it runs
--only-verified, so a positive control would need a live credential.Caveats
Qlty Checkwill no longer appear on pushes tomain. Harmless if it is a required status check — those gate PRs — but I could not read branch protection to confirm (API returned 403).--no-failis a one-line change; tracked in src/test/vscode-notebook-perf has a stale lockfile that no CI job gates on #482.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
