Research direction

Start with actions/setup/js/handle_detection_runs.cjs and compare its exports and behavior with actions/setup/js/notify_comment_error.test.cjs. Add actions/setup/js/handle_detection_runs.test.cjs using Vitest mocks for global.github.rest. Cover existing-issue, create, API-error, and main() paths, then run the relevant Vitest test to confirm expected issue data and warning text.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

automation code-quality cookie improvement quick-win task-mining testing

Description: actions/setup/js/handle_detection_runs.cjs (143 lines) drives the ensureDetectionRunsIssue() GraphQL/REST issue-creation flow used by threat-detection workflows to track findings, but has zero unit tests despite touching the GitHub Issues API with retry/error-handling branches that are easy to regress silently. Confirmed via direct file check: the .cjs file exists, no .test.cjs sibling exists.

Suggested fix: Add actions/setup/js/handle_detection_runs.test.cjs (Vitest) covering ensureDetectionRunsIssue() and main():

  • Existing-issue-found path (no duplicate created).
  • Issue-not-found/create path (new issue created with expected title/body).
  • The GitHub API error path (github.rest.issues.* rejects), asserting core.warning is called with a message containing the thrown error text (matching the existing catch block at line 138 of the source file).
  • main() entry point wiring these together with mocked context.repo.

Mock global.github.rest.issues and global.core/global.context following the pattern in actions/setup/js/notify_comment_error.test.cjs.

Expected Impact: Closes a test-coverage gap in a script that mutates GitHub Issues state for the threat-detection workflow fleet; prevents silent regressions in retry/error-handling branches.

Suggested Agent: New unit-test-authoring task.

Estimated Effort: Quick (1-2 hours)
