Dependency Scanner "Pipeline cannot be run. No stages / jobs for this pipeline."

Summary

when tryng to test implementation of Dependency-scanning `Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml' at first I met an error : "Pipeline cannot be run. No stages / jobs for this pipeline." Below the code of the gitlab.yml "stages:

  • test
  • deploy

include:

  • template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml"

Steps to reproduce

  1. in your Gitlab ci environnement create a new project

  2. set up a new CI/CD Pipeline -> will open an empty gitlab-ci.yml just add the lines of the description

  3. in the directory just add any "Gemfile.lock" file and any pom.xml so that scanners can detect these file formats

  4. then go to CI/CD pipelines and Run the pipeline

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?
