Fail exit code when scan already in progress

[jamesnswithers]

Setting -inProgressScanActionType = 0 returns an exit code of 1 when a scan is already running.

For example running via GitHub actions with this value returns:

Authenticating
Beginning upload
Package upload failed for the following reasons: 
1) Can not start scan another scan is in progress
Retiring Token : Token Retired Successfully
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

An exit code of 1 will signify an (un)expected failure of the task. For me this would make more sense to return a successful exit code when a scan is already running as your intention of including the value in ProgressScanActionType = 0 is that a scan should not be actioned if another is already in progress, meaning that this task has been completed successfully.

Could this function be amended or a new option be provided to exit successfully if a scan is already running?

Hello, To confirm, you are running it via GitHub actions and aren't checking the scan status via polling?

Yes, that's right, via GitHub actions and i'm not polling.

Thank you for providing the details. This has been brought up to the dev team - currently if you poll FoDUploader returns an exit code of 3 for canceled scans.
