  workflow_dispatch:

env:
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}

jobs:
  build:

📖 See the CI/CD docs for more information and guides on using the mCode GitHub Action!

Reports and GitHub Code Scanning

Mayhem for Code generates SARIF reports for your application security testing results.

SARIF reports are generated using the sarif-output parameter, which specifies an output file path.

To upload the SARIF report to GitHub, use the github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v1 action with the sarif_file parameter to specify the location of a path containing SARIF results to upload to GitHub.

- name: Start analysis
  uses: ForAllSecure/mcode-action@v1
  with:
    args: --image ${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}
    sarif-output: sarif

- name: Upload SARIF file(s)
  uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v1
  with:
    sarif_file: sarif

Once uploaded to GitHub, you can view test results in the Security tab of your repository as well as for your individual pull requests.
