v2.2.0

CodeQL Action Changelog

2.2.0 - 26 Jan 2023

• Improve stability when choosing the default version of CodeQL to use in code scanning workflow runs on Actions on GitHub.com. #1475
  • This change addresses customer reports of code scanning alerts on GitHub.com being closed and reopened during the rollout of new versions of CodeQL in the GitHub Actions runner images.
  • No change is required for the majority of workflows, including:
    • Workflows on GitHub.com hosted runners using the latest version (v2) of the CodeQL Action.
    • Workflows on GitHub.com hosted runners that are pinned to specific versions of the CodeQL Action from v2.2.0 onwards.
    • Workflows on GitHub Enterprise Server.
  • A change may be required for workflows on GitHub.com hosted runners that are pinned to specific versions of the CodeQL Action before v2.2.0 (e.g. v2.1.32):
    • Previously, these workflows would obtain the latest version of CodeQL from the Actions runner image.
    • Now, these workflows will download an older, compatible version of CodeQL from GitHub Releases. To use this older version, no change is required. To use the newest version of CodeQL, please update your workflows to reference the latest version of the CodeQL Action (v2).
  • Internal changes
    • These changes will not affect the majority of code scanning workflows. Continue reading only if your workflow uses @actions/tool-cache or relies on the precise location of CodeQL within the Actions tool cache.
    • The tool cache now contains two recent CodeQL versions (previously one).
    • Each CodeQL version is located under a directory named after the release date and version number, e.g. CodeQL 2.11.6 is now located under CodeQL/2.11.6-20221211/x64/codeql (previously CodeQL/0.0.0-20221211/x64/codeql).
• The maximum number of SARIF runs per file has been increased from 15 to 20 for users uploading SARIF files to GitHub.com. This change will help ensure that Code Scanning can process SARIF files generated by third-party tools that have many runs. See the GitHub API documentation for a list of all the limits around uploading SARIF. This change will be released to GitHub Enterprise Server as part of GHES 3.9.
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.12.1. #1498
• Fix a bug that forced the init Action to run for at least two minutes on JavaScript. #1494

v2.1.39

CodeQL Action Changelog

2.1.39 - 18 Jan 2023

• CodeQL Action v1 is now deprecated, and is no longer updated or supported. For better performance, improved security, and new features, upgrade to v2. For more information, see this changelog post. #1467
• Python automatic dependency installation will no longer fail for projects using Poetry that specify virtualenvs.options.no-pip = true in their poetry.toml. #1431
• Avoid printing a stack trace and error message when the action fails to find the SHA at the
  current directory. This will happen in several non-error states and so we now avoid cluttering the
  log with this message. #1485
