ci: run the required checks on the merge queue commit - #118
Merged
Conversation
No workflow listened for merge_group, so the queue tested a commit that nothing reported on and every queued pull request waited forever. PR #114 sat in the queue with all pull_request checks green. Add the event to CI, CodeQL, Workflow Lint and Dependency Review. Dependency Review reads the pull request for the two commits to compare and for a place to comment, and a queued run has neither, so it now names the commits from the merge_group event and posts nothing.
The trigger and the event expressions say what they do, and the why is plain from them.

Why
No workflow listened for
merge_group. The merge queue tests the commit itbuilds, then waits for the required checks to report on it — and a check that
does not run on
merge_groupnever reports. So a queued pull request waitsforever. #114 sat in the queue with every
pull_requestcheck green.What
Add
merge_groupto CI, CodeQL, Workflow Lint and Dependency Review.publish.ymlis release-only and does not belong in the queue.Dependency Review reads the pull request both for the two commits to compare
and for a place to comment, and a queued run has neither. It now names the
commits from the
merge_groupevent, clones deep enough to hold them, andposts nothing.
cancel-in-progressis alreadygithub.event_name == 'pull_request', so aqueued run is never cancelled. No change needed there.
