CodeQL Action Changelog

See the releases page for the relevant changes to the CodeQL CLI and language packs.

Note that the only difference between v2 and v3 of the CodeQL Action is the node version they support, with v3 running on node 20 while we continue to release v2 to support running on node 16. For example 3.22.11 was the first v3 release and is functionally identical to 2.22.11. This approach ensures an easy way to track exactly which features are included in different versions, indicated by the minor and patch version numbers.

[UNRELEASED]

No user facing changes.

3.25.5 - 13 May 2024

• Add a compatibility matrix of supported CodeQL Action, CodeQL CLI, and GitHub Enterprise Server versions to the https://github.com/github/codeql-action/blob/main/README.md. #2273
• Avoid printing out a warning for a missing on.push trigger when the CodeQL Action is triggered via a workflow_call event. #2274
• The tools: latest input to the init Action has been renamed to tools: linked. This option specifies that the Action should use the tools shipped at the same time as the Action. The old name will continue to work for backwards compatibility, but we recommend that new workflows use the new name. #2281

3.25.4 - 08 May 2024

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.17.2. #2270

3.25.3 - 25 Apr 2024

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.17.1. #2247
• Workflows running on macos-latest using CodeQL CLI versions before v2.15.1 will need to either upgrade their CLI version to v2.15.1 or newer, or change the platform to an Intel MacOS runner, such as macos-12. ARM machines with SIP disabled, including the newest macos-latest image, are unsupported for CLI versions before 2.15.1. #2261

3.25.2 - 22 Apr 2024

No user facing changes.

3.25.1 - 17 Apr 2024

• We are rolling out a feature in April/May 2024 that improves the reliability and performance of analyzing code when analyzing a compiled language with the autobuild build mode. #2235
• Fix a bug where the init Action would fail if --overwrite was specified in CODEQL_ACTION_EXTRA_OPTIONS. #2245

3.25.0 - 15 Apr 2024

• The deprecated feature for extracting dependencies for a Python analysis has been removed. #2224

  As a result, the following inputs and environment variables are now ignored:

  • The setup-python-dependencies input to the init Action
  • The CODEQL_ACTION_DISABLE_PYTHON_DEPENDENCY_INSTALLATION environment variable

  We recommend removing any references to these from your workflows. For more information, see the release notes for CodeQL Action v3.23.0 and v2.23.0.

• Automatically overwrite an existing database if found on the filesystem. #2229

• Bump the minimum CodeQL bundle version to 2.12.6. #2232

• A more relevant log message and a diagnostic are now emitted when the file program is not installed on a Linux runner, but is required for Go tracing to succeed. #2234

3.24.10 - 05 Apr 2024
