# Fixing CodeQL Analysis Configuration Error
2+
3+
## Problem
4+
5+
GitHub is reporting the following error when attempting to process CodeQL analysis:
6+
7+
```
8+
Code Scanning could not process the submitted SARIF file: CodeQL analyses from advanced configurations cannot be processed when the default setup is enabled
9+
```
10+
11+
This error occurs because there is a conflict between:
12+
13+
1. **GitHub's Default CodeQL Setup** (enabled in repository settings)
14+
2. **Custom CodeQL Workflow** (defined in `.github/workflows/codeql.yml`)
15+
16+
GitHub does not support running both configurations simultaneously for the same language.
17+
18+
## Solution
19+
20+
Disable the default CodeQL setup in GitHub repository settings to allow your custom workflow to run properly:
21+
22+
1. Navigate to your GitHub repository
23+
2. Go to **Settings** > **Code security and analysis**
24+
3. Find the **Code scanning** section
25+
4. Click the **Configure** or **Disable** button next to "Default setup"
26+
5. Select **Disable default setup**
27+
6. Save your changes
28+
29+
Your custom CodeQL workflow (`.github/workflows/codeql.yml`) will now run without conflicts with the default setup.
30+
31+
## Why This Approach?
32+
33+
The custom workflow is preferred because:
34+
35+
1. It provides more control over the scanning configuration
36+
2. It can be version controlled along with your codebase
37+
3. It integrates better with your existing CI/CD pipeline
38+
4. It can be customized for your specific Go codebase needs
39+
40+
## Custom Workflow Details
41+
42+
Your current custom CodeQL workflow:
43+
- Runs on pushes to main, pull requests to main, and weekly (Sunday at midnight)
44+
- Analyzes Go language code
45+
- Uses the latest CodeQL action (v3)
46+
- Has appropriate permissions for security event writing

- **Emoji Usage**: Selected technical and problem-solving themed emojis for social posts to increase engagement
2632
- **Technical Depth**: Emphasized advanced troubleshooting techniques over basic concepts to provide unique value
2733
- **Social Media Structure**: Differentiated BlueSky (shorter, more casual) from LinkedIn (longer, more professional) content styles
2834
- **Memory Bank Structure**: Implemented complete documentation structure for future reference
35+
- **CodeQL Configuration**: Prioritized custom workflow over default setup for better control and integration with CI/CD pipeline
