Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how ignored-file configuration is applied during CodeQL analysis and how existing alerts are reconciled on later CI runs; done means alerts for newly ignored generated files are automatically closed or removed from the active results.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I'm setting up a new CodeQL instance, looking at the alerts for the PR branch, I saw I had thousands:
Hundreds appeared to be in generated XAML files from the platform build process (probably something they should look at later, but unrelated to our codebase directly):
So, I added in the config file to ignore these files:
However, all the alerts for these files still remained open on the next pass of the CI, since these files are listed as ignored, it'd be nice to have them all automatically deleted/closed.
It makes it really hard to find the actual things I should be looking for. And it seems like I can only close 25 items at a time, page by page in the filtered view.
Probably going to have to close my PR and open a new PR just to get a clean list...
