v4 of the Codecov Action uses the CLI as the underlying upload. The CLI has helped to power new features including local upload, the global upload token, and new upcoming features.
Breaking Changes
The Codecov Action runs as a node20 action due to node16 deprecation. See this post from GitHub on how to migrate.
Tokenless uploading is unsupported. However, PRs made from forks to the upstream public repos will support tokenless (e.g. contributors to OS projects do not need the upstream repo's Codecov token). This doc shows instructions on how to add the Codecov token.
OS platforms have been added, though some may not be automatically detected. To see a list of platforms, see our CLI download page
Various arguments to the Action have been changed. Please be aware that the arguments match with the CLI's needs
v3 versions and below will not have access to CLI features (e.g. global upload token, ATS).
v4 represents a move from the universal uploader to the Codecov CLI. Although this will unlock new features for our users, the CLI is not yet at feature parity with the universal uploader.
Breaking Changes
No current support for aarch64 and alpine architectures.
On Linux, the maximum possible value for the --threads option now respects the CPU count as specified in cgroup files to more accurately reflect the number of available cores when running in containers. #2083
Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.1. #2096
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
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
