action fails when trying to scan an empty repo

[nirw]

We just created a new repository for testing the cx-flow in GitHub Action.
The repository is empty if no considering .github files or readme. However, the scan will fail as follows

When the repo is added with a python or Java file for testing purpose, the same workflow can just pass under the same Checkmarx project.

Preffered behaviour for this fringe case would be to not fail the action but succeed without really doing anything

This would be nice to have as it fails for a non-empty repo with files it ignores, too.
