Codeac pull request status check merge blocking behavior
0 reputation · 08 May 2020, 17:43 UTC
Codeac integrates with repository hosting services to post automated review statuses and comments on pull requests.
The goal is to configure Codeac so that a failed static-analysis status prevents merging a pull request protected by required status checks. It is unclear whether Codeac writes a commit status that the repository host can enforce as a required check, or whether it only publishes advisory review comments without affecting merge eligibility. The required permission boundary also depends on the installed Codeac application scope rather than Codeac alone.
Does Codeac expose a status check that branch protection can require? What repository app permissions must the Codeac installation hold to block merges? Is there a configuration option to enforce Codeac review status as a merge gate?
