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.

3.23.1 - 17 Jan 2024

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.0. #2073
• Change the retention period for uploaded debug artifacts to 7 days. Previously, this was whatever the repository default was. #2079

3.23.0 - 08 Jan 2024

• We are rolling out a feature in January 2024 that will disable Python dependency installation by default for all users. This improves the speed of analysis while having only a very minor impact on results. You can override this behavior by setting CODEQL_ACTION_DISABLE_PYTHON_DEPENDENCY_INSTALLATION=false in your workflow, however we plan to remove this ability in future versions of the CodeQL Action. #2031
• The CodeQL Action now requires CodeQL version 2.11.6 or later. For more information, see the corresponding changelog entry for CodeQL Action version 2.22.7. #2009

3.22.12 - 22 Dec 2023

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.15.5. #2047

3.22.11 - 13 Dec 2023

• [v3+ only] The CodeQL Action now runs on Node.js v20. #2006

2.22.10 - 12 Dec 2023

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.15.4. #2016

2.22.9 - 07 Dec 2023

No user facing changes.

2.22.8 - 23 Nov 2023

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.15.3. #2001

2.22.7 - 16 Nov 2023

• Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.11.5 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 8 November 2023 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.7, and will be unsupported by CodeQL Action v2.23.0 and later. #1993
  • If you are using one of these versions, please update to CodeQL CLI version 2.11.6 or later. For instance, if you have specified a custom version of the CLI using the 'tools' input to the 'init' Action, you can remove this input to use the default version.
  • Alternatively, if you want to continue using a version of the CodeQL CLI between 2.10.5 and 2.11.5, you can replace github/codeql-action/*@v2 by github/codeql-action/*@v2.22.7 in your code scanning workflow to ensure you continue using this version of the CodeQL Action.

2.22.6 - 14 Nov 2023

• Customers running Python analysis on macOS using version 2.14.6 or earlier of the CodeQL CLI should upgrade to CodeQL CLI version 2.15.0 or later. If you do not wish to upgrade the CodeQL CLI, ensure that you are using Python version 3.11 or earlier, as CodeQL version 2.14.6 and earlier do not support Python 3.12. You can achieve this by adding a setup-python step to your code scanning workflow before the step that invokes github/codeql-action/init.
• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.15.2. #1978
