From eacb4749ced66645c2a17f8dedd6d3a9d1e4c860 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: hyperpolymath <6759885+hyperpolymath@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 22:27:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ci: allow gitleaks to fail gracefully on self-hosted runners MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit gitleaks-action (both v2 and v3) downloads the gitleaks binary via the @actions/tool-cache mechanism but PATH injection (core.addPath) is unreliable on self-hosted runners — the binary ends up in the cache but the shell can't find it. The other three scanners (rust-secrets, shell-secrets, trufflehog) provide overlapping secret-scanning coverage and all pass reliably. Adding continue-on-error means the scan / gitleaks check reports success even when the binary can't be found, so PRs are not permanently blocked. Remove once gitleaks is installed on the runner (see runner setup docs) or gitleaks-action adds a reliable self-hosted PATH install.
