This shows up red in the PR list:

... and green in the Actions log:

The former might be mitigated (and thus made green) by flipping some project configuration settings and making it a non-required check; I'm not quite sure where that setting lives, though.

@christiansandberg seems like only you have the necessary access privileges to configure repository settings. I can look into the matter if you give me the permissions.

Do you have some instructions on how to configure that? It also seems I can't change the level of access contributors have in GitHub either.

The settings for checks should be somewhere under branch protection for the master branch. Sorry, I don't have any repository at hand where I could search the setting myself. None where I am the owner and checks are defined...

The level of access needed would be to change repository settings, but I can't tell how that would be assigned.

Can't see that it is possible to sort of "white-list" a specific step so that the whole action becomes green.

It might also be hard for a new contributor to know what to do about the failed step since they can't fix it.

I suspect the mypy CI would have to live in its own YAML file in order to be selectable.

I've asked the folks at Syncthing, where I've seen such a setup: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/ot-question-about-github-checks/22577

@christiansandberg does this help? https://forum.syncthing.net/t/ot-question-about-github-checks/22577/2?u=acolomb

It might not show the new check yet, as it is not merged to master. We could set up a separate branch to test it though.

Yes, it should show up once this is merged to master I hope.

But I guess it won't be any different compared to now since status checks do not block merging? I think it still may cause confusion if you don't know that some checks are OK to fail.

IIRC, the pull request will be marked with a green checkmark although such an optional check is failing. In the list of checks, all but the mypy check will get a "Required" label attached.

This all depends on actually enabling the branch protection of course, to disallow merging with failing checks at all. Which is a good idea in general. The second step is then to exempt the specific mypy check as "non-required".

Once we actually have fixed it to not fail, we can remove that exemption again - or leave it active as I think typing checks are still somewhat icing on the cake and could be handled separately after merging a feature PR.

If all this cannot be accomplished with the GitHub settings, then we might just as well concentrate on fixing the actual errors before enabling the CI check. But let's try getting it to work first 😉

Yes, I think you're right that it needs to be on a protected branch, such as master, in order for it to be selectable. From your screen-shot, it seems to me it does not have to be defined in a separate YAML file, since you already get to choose from the feature matrix in the CI.

Anyway, let's hold this PR until CI is green again (see commit d1c28e5).

[...] We could set up a separate branch to test it though.

That's a very good idea.

I've created https://github.com/christiansandberg/canopen/tree/mypy with this PR merged into it. It doesn't run the actions at all though, probably CI is only enabled for master. Could use that as a playground to fiddle with the settings though. If you're so inclined @christiansandberg 😉

Nice, thanks! I've created a test PR against it:

• TEST: mypy CI test #528

@christiansandberg it still would help if you could give me access to the repository settings, so I can adjust the protection rules directly. At least until we have found the right configuration.

Gentle ping, @christiansandberg 🏓
