Configure the pull request flow to merge from the target branch (even if done locally) prior to running the build scanner

Code Block
languagebash
//retrieve the PR source code from the Git based SCM
git clone git@github.repo/repo.git
​
//create a local integration branch starting from the target branch - do not push it to the remote
git checkout -b <local-integration-branch-name> <target-branch>
​
//Merge pull request into local integration branch
git pull --ff git@github.repo/repo.git <pull-request-branch>
​
...
//run sealights build

Cause #2

The target branch contains commits that were not reported to sealights SeaLights and the user merged from the target branch to the pull request branch

...

.

Note

A common reason is with target branch that have builds reported based on predefined frequency (hourly, daily) rather than after every single merge (commit) to that branch.
Sealights recommendation is for the later option.

...

Solution #2

validate Validate in their the CI server (Jenkins mostly, Bamboo…) + scm that the last commit was every commit from the SCM (target branch) is reported to sealights Sealights via a an automated build.
If not, then initiate a build from both the target branch and then the PR branch.
