  • Some other request

Information about the requested update

I completed the CodeQL default-setup steps multiple times in the skills-introduction-to-codeql training repository. The exercise requires a CodeQL alert from Python code, but the default configuration detects and scans only GitHub Actions.
Expected behavior
• CodeQL default setup should detect the repository’s Python files.
• The Actions run should show both Analyze (actions) and Analyze (python).
• The SQL-injection training change should generate the CodeQL alert required by the next exercise step.
Actual behavior
• CodeQL default configuration lists only GitHub Actions.
• The PR check shows only CodeQL / Analyze (actions) (dynamic).
• Code scanning reports 0 Open alerts and “No new alerts in code changed by this pull request.”
• The required Analyze (python) job never appears, so the exercise cannot advance to the review-comments/alert step.
The repository contains Python files under the server directory, but CodeQL default setup does not detect Python. Default setup does not provide a way to manually add Python; switching to advanced setup changes the training state and is not what the exercise instructions require.
