GitHub Actions Extension Shows Incorrect Job Dependency Error (v0.28.0)

Inizia riproducendo la diagnosi con il workflow GitHub Actions di esempio, in particolare con l’array needs contenente architecture-dependency-check, e confrontala con l’errore visualizzato. Segui la validazione delle dipendenze dei job dell’estensione e verifica che l’errore indichi il job effettivamente referenziato; il workflow dovrebbe continuare a essere eseguito senza un falso avviso.

Bug Report

Environment

• VS Code Version: 1.105.1 (user setup)
• GitHub Actions Extension Version: 0.28.0 (updated 3 weeks ago)
• OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200
• Commit: 7d842fb85a0275a4a8e4d7e040d2625abbf7f084

Description

The GitHub Actions extension incorrectly validates job dependencies, showing an error for a non-existent job name instead of the actual job name defined in the workflow file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a GitHub Actions workflow file with a job named architecture-dependency-check
2. Create another job that references this job in the needs: array
3. The extension shows a validation error referencing a completely different job name

Expected Behavior

The extension should validate job dependencies against the actual job names present in the current workflow file.

Actual Behavior

• Error message displayed: Job 'check-no-deployment' depends on unknown job 'foundation-architecture-scan'
• Actual file content: needs: [build-test, architecture-dependency-check]
• GitHub Actions execution result: Workflow runs successfully on GitHub

Sample Workflow Code

jobs:
  build-test:
    name: Build and Test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    # ... job steps

  architecture-dependency-check:
    name: Architecture Dependency Check
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    # ... job steps

  check-no-deployment:
    name: Development Branch Status
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [build-test, architecture-dependency-check]  # This line shows the error
    # ... job steps

Workaround
Disabling and re-enabling the GitHub Actions extension temporarily resolves the issue.

Additional Context

• This issue appears to be related to the extension update from 3 weeks ago (version 0.28.0)
• The workflow file has been working correctly for weeks
• Multiple VS Code restarts do not resolve the issue
• The actual GitHub Actions execution works perfectly
  Impact
  While this doesn't affect functionality, it creates confusion and false error reporting in the development environment.
