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.

It uses updated complexity and code-similarity checks with new thresholds. The Qlty CI job runs on all events, using upstream-scoped checks for pull requests and full-tree checks for other events. The non-blocking OSV dependency scan runs unless the workflow is cancelled.

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. Verified locally against every command the expression can produce: qlty check --upstream origin/main -> exit 0 qlty smells --upstream origin/main -> exit 0 qlty check --all --filter=actionlint,trufflehog -> exit 0, 16.5s qlty check --all --filter=osv-scanner --no-fail -> exit 0, 12 reported Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011Kgq63XyXuKc6QM4WK4gi2
The single `qlty check` step chose its arguments through an inline expression, which hid two different jobs behind one name. Split it into explicit per-event steps: `--upstream` on pull requests, `--all` off them, grouped by event so the log reads in the order it runs. `qlty smells` was pull-request-only because `--upstream` needs a base ref that a push does not have. `qlty smells --all` is the non-PR analogue — 8s over 1437 files here, and exit 0 by construction, so it reports without gating. Trim the file's comments to the three that carry what the code cannot: the implicit success() inside a custom `if:`, why osv-scanner needs its own --all pass, and the npm optional-deps workaround link.

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.The fallback is in upstream source, not inferred: with no
--upstream, qlty infers a base fromrefs/remotes/origin/HEAD, then from a localmain/master/developbranch (qlty-analysis/src/git/upstream.rs:17-58).actions/checkoutcreates neither, so inference returnsNoneand the target mode becomesHeadDiff— HEAD against itself.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.Smells::executereturnsCommandSuccess::ok()unconditionally (qlty-cli/src/commands/smells.rs:109), andexit_code()returns 1 only whenfailis set, which nothing in that path sets.Changes

Three minutes was only ever plausible for a job that did no work..qlty/qlty.toml— why it needed touching, and howSeven entries in this file were being thrown away on every run. qlty says so out loud; these lines are in the CI logs and nobody read them, because the step was green:
source.0.names the first cause precisely. In TOML a bare key belongs to the table header above it, soexclude_patternssitting below[[source]]became a field of that source instead of a top-level setting. Fix: moved above every table header — note it has to clear[[plugin]]too, which comes first in the file. Droppedbuild/**while moving it: 48 tracked source files live there, so activating that pattern would newly hide real code from the scanners. Dropped.git/**, which is never a qlty target.The second cause: six of the file's nine smell names were never qlty's. The valid set is fixed by
qlty-config/src/config/smells.rs—boolean_logic,nested_control_flow,function_parameters,return_statements,file_complexity,function_complexity,identical_code,similar_code,duplication,mode. Everything else is dropped with a warning. Fix:file_lengthfile_complexitycognitive_complexityfunction_complexityduplicate_codeidentical_code+similar_codefunction_length,large_class,long_parameter_listThresholds are qlty's own defaults from
qlty-config/default.toml(50 / 18 / 15 / 15), not translations of the old numbers — the units do not carry over.file_complexitycounts complexity points, so qlty's own Code Climate migration converts a line-based threshold with a ×0.22 multiplier (qlty-config/src/migration/checks.rs);duplicate_code = 6had no defined unit to convert at all.Consequence worth stating plainly: those four now match stock qlty exactly, as does the pre-existing
boolean_logic = 4. Onlynested_control_flow = 4(default 5) andfunction_parameters = 5(default 6) actually change qlty's behavior. The four restated blocks are documentation, not configuration — deleting them would be behavior-neutral.Verification
qlty 0.642.0 locally, against a faithful reproduction of the CI checkout — a cloned repo on a detached PR-merge HEAD with no local branches.

smells --allstep prints ~1409 findings into everymainbuild log and cannot fail the job. 69% of them are in inherited upstreamsrc/, and 32% are in test files.test_patterns, and qlty's built-in defaults supply none either — so unit tests are graded as production code. Theqlty init-generated configs in our other repos all carry atest_patternsblock; this hand-written one never had it. One-block fix, deliberately not in this PR.--no-failis a one-line change; tracked in src/test/vscode-notebook-perf has a stale lockfile that no CI job gates on #482.deepnote,deepnote-toolkitanddeepnote-internal— identicalsource.0.exclude_patternsand smell-name warnings in their CI logs today, and their qlty steps analyze zero files on PRs for the same reason as here.app-config,ops,tf-infraandtf-orgareqlty init-generated and structurally fine, but their PR-pathqlty checkis also argument-less and analyzes nothing; they do get a real--allscan on their default branch.
