Description
Using github/codeql-action/init@v4 in our CodeQL Advanced workflow like this:
- name: Initialize CodeQL
uses: github/codeql-action/init@v4
with:
languages: ruby
build-mode: none
config-file: ./.github/codeql.yml# ./.github/codeql.yml
paths-ignore:
- path/to/file1.rb
- path/to/file2.rbI randomly received the following error today (December 16), which by the look of it was using tag v4.31.8 released on December 12:
