Problem on bigger Pull Request

[Schuchie]

If you change a lot of files in a new Pull Request the following error occurs. This can happen if you add for example datapacks for media cloud etc.. These contain no apex classes, only jsons and xmls. Is there a way to ignore none apex files?

Currently, There is no support for perform language specific suppression.

How large of a pull request are you creating and which version of the action are you running?

Action Version: mitchspano/sfdx-scan-pull-request@v0.1.15

The PR is huge, caused by the default/standard datapacks from salesforce. You could also add a lot of json files to the staticresource folder, that would result in the same error.

That could be avoided by using a file with a list of files (--file-list param) instead of adding every file to the command as param (if possible by sfdx scanner:run). Or by piping the files.

This is a duplicate of known issue #6. I will be marking this as closed and updates will be tracked on the canonical issue.

In the meantime, I would recommend keeping your changes smaller (see this documentation from Google CL is an internal term for Pull Request) and/or limiting the branches on which the scan is executed to keep its scope relatively well defined.
