ci(qodana): Switch to Community .NET linter to clear the licence block - #190
Conversation
…block
jetbrains/qodana-dotnet ("Qodana for .NET") requires a paid Qodana licence
that the mrploch organisation's Community plan does not include, so every
recorded scan failed a licence check before the solution was even opened.
ploch-common hit the same wall and resolved it by switching to
jetbrains/qodana-cdnet (Qodana Community for .NET), which has been green on
every push/PR there since 2026-09-04. Same linter tag applied here.
Left the workflow on workflow_dispatch pending a confirmed green run with
the new linter before re-enabling pull_request/push triggers.
Refs: #151
…cture Dispatch 34691387171 confirmed the Community linter switch clears the licence block (Qodana Scan step itself now succeeds), but then failed at the github/codeql-action/upload-sarif step with "GITHUB_REF environment variable must be set" and nothing in this repo's own configuration can fix that context-detection error. ploch-common's working qodana_code_quality.yml never had this step: Qodana reports directly to Qodana Cloud via QODANA_TOKEN, which is also what registers/configures the project there in the first place. Removed the upload-sarif step and the SARIF-existence/outcome scaffolding it needed, added QODANA_ENDPOINT to match ploch-common, re-enabled pull_request/push triggers, and trimmed permissions to contents: read now that security-events: write is no longer needed.

Reviewer's GuideReplaces the licence-blocked paid Qodana for .NET linter with the Community .NET linter, restores automatic CI triggers, and simplifies the workflow to rely on direct Qodana Cloud reporting while preserving the sibling repositories and private NuGet credentials required to analyze the solution. Verified dispatches show the scan now completes and the streamlined workflow passes end to end. Sequence diagram for the successful Qodana Cloud scansequenceDiagram

**issue (broader_impact):** Fork pull requests now trigger this workflow, but GitHub does not expose repository secrets to `pull_request` workflows from forks. `QODANA_TOKEN` and `QODANA_NUGET_PASSWORD` therefore expand to empty values, so the Qodana scan cannot report to Qodana Cloud and the solution's authenticated GitHub Packages restore fails.
**Triggers:** When a pull request originates from a fork.
**Suggested fix:** Skip fork pull requests that require private credentials, or add a separate fork-safe scan that does not use the Qodana Cloud token or private package feed.

Pull Request Overview
While this PR successfully initiates the transition to the Qodana Community .NET linter and configures Qodana Cloud reporting, there are critical configuration issues in the GitHub Workflow that should prevent merging.
Specifically, the actions/checkout configuration uses a hardcoded reference to the pull request context. This will cause the workflow to fail or check out the wrong branch when triggered by 'push' or 'manual' events. Additionally, the volume mounting for the Qodana scan is incorrectly implemented using the args parameter instead of the dedicated volumes input, which is likely to result in a CLI error. Although the Codacy analysis is currently 'up to standards', these infrastructure-as-code bugs will prevent the CI pipeline from functioning as intended.
Test suggestions
- Workflow triggers on pull_request events.
- Workflow triggers on push events to main and release branches.
- Checkout step correctly resolves the head SHA for PR-triggered runs.
- Qodana Scan successfully reports findings to Qodana Cloud using the provided endpoint.
- The Community linter correctly parses the solution file defined in qodana.yaml.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Workflow triggers on pull_request events.
2. Workflow triggers on push events to main and release branches.
3. Checkout step correctly resolves the head SHA for PR-triggered runs.
4. Qodana Scan successfully reports findings to Qodana Cloud using the provided endpoint.
5. The Community linter correctly parses the solution file defined in qodana.yaml.

…t scan Multiple PR #190 reviewers (Sourcery, codeant-ai, qodo-code-review, CodeRabbit) flagged that a fork's pull_request event never receives repository secrets, so QODANA_TOKEN and QODANA_NUGET_PASSWORD would both expand to empty strings on a fork PR: the scan can't report to Qodana Cloud and can't restore the SampleApp projects from the authenticated GitHub Packages feed. Added a job-level guard skipping pull_request events whose head repo isn't this one. Refs: #151

Summary
Root cause
qodana.yamlpointed atjetbrains/qodana-dotnet— the paid "Qodana for .NET" linter. Themrplochorganisation's Qodana Cloud plan is Community, which doesn't licence that linter, so every scan failed a licence check before the solution was even opened:This is also why the project showed as "not configured" on qodana.cloud — no scan had ever completed to register it there.
ploch-commonhit the identical wall and resolved it (see itsqodana_code_quality.yml, green on every push/PR since 2026-09-04) by switching tojetbrains/qodana-cdnet— Qodana Community for .NET, which the Community plan does licence.Changes
