Matrix build overwrites comments

[rwaffen]

Hi,

when i build multiple containers in a gha matrix and also scan them, only one output from docker scout will end up in the comments. only the last (?) i think.

for reference see here:
voxpupuli/container-voxbox#38

I have to build two versions to support two software versions inside, and i want to scan and see the output of both.

cheers, Robert

Hi @rwaffen

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Yes you're right, currently it will overwrite the existing comment.
You can try by setting keep-previous-comments: true (see https://github.com/docker/scout-action?tab=readme-ov-file#pull-request-comments) so it will add a new comment for each run. It's not a perfect solution as it will hide previous content behind a "Outdated" line but it might help short term by still keeping all the comments content.

I'll keep you posted once it will be fixed.

thx for the quick answer! it's not perfect, but something... thx :).

seeing forward to a general solution for this :)

We are also having this issue. We are using a matrix that executes a series of steps for a list of images. Each job invokes this action and the comments are overwriting eachother.

For reference it is a job that scans all image changes in the PR and does a scout compare.
