GitHub CodeQL action init analyze different versions compatibility error v4
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Mixing different versions of the CodeQL Action in the same workflow is unsupported and will lead to errors [1]. GitHub explicitly warns that using different versions for different steps (e.g., init@v3 and analyze@v4) can cause unpredictable results, and the system will emit a warning from the codeql-action/init step if this mismatch is detected [1]. Furthermore, subsequent steps like analyze will throw an error if they attempt to load a configuration file generated by a different version of the init step [1]. To resolve compatibility errors when migrating to v4, ensure that all CodeQL Action steps in your workflow file are updated to reference the same major version [2][1]. Specifically, replace all references to v3 with v4 for the following steps [2]: - github/codeql-action/init@v4 - github/codeql-action/autobuild@v4 - github/codeql-action/analyze@v4 - github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v4 Additional context regarding the v4 upgrade: 1. Runtime Requirements: CodeQL Action v4 runs on Node.js 24 [2][1]. GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) versions 3.18 and older do not support this runtime and cannot run CodeQL Action v4 [2][3]. You must upgrade your GHES instance before you can use v4 [2][3]. 2. GHES 3.19: This version supports Node.js 24 Actions but does not include CodeQL Action v4 by default [2][3]. System administrators must enable GitHub Connect to download v4 before you can update your workflow files [2][3]. 3. GHES 3.20+: These versions ship with CodeQL Action v4 included [2][3]. 4. Deprecation: CodeQL Action v3 is scheduled for official deprecation in December 2026 [2][1]. If you encounter errors despite having consistent versions, ensure that your workflow includes an actions/checkout step before the init step, as init attempts to validate the workflow file itself [4].

🌐 Web query:
github codeql-action exact source version mismatch init analyze v4.37.9 v4.38.0 workflow validation
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The exact source version mismatch you are encountering is a result of a safety mechanism introduced in the CodeQL Action to prevent unpredictable results caused by using different versions of the action within the same workflow [1][2][3]. Starting from version 3.30.0 and above (including the v4 line), the CodeQL Action performs strict validation to ensure that all steps in a workflow use the same version of the CodeQL Action [1][2][3]. Specifically: 1. Consistency Check: The codeql-action/init step now emits a warning if it detects that different versions of the CodeQL Action are being used elsewhere in the workflow file [1][3]. 2. Configuration Validation: If you are using v4.37.9 and v4.38.0 in the same workflow (e.g., init is at one version and analyze is at another), the analyze step will throw a ConfigurationError when it attempts to load the configuration file generated by the init step [1][2][3]. This error occurs because the configuration file contains the version of the action that created it, and the analyze step validates this version against its own version [2]. To resolve this issue, you must ensure that all steps within your CodeQL workflow (init, analyze, autobuild, etc.) are pinned to the exact same version of the CodeQL Action [1][2][3]. The recommended approach is to update all steps to the same version, such as v4.38.0, or use a consistent major version tag (e.g., @v4) across all steps to allow the action to automatically track the latest patch releases [4]. If you are using automated dependency managers like Dependabot, ensure that all instances of the CodeQL Action are updated simultaneously to prevent partial workflow updates [5][6][7].

Align init and analyze to the same version.
init uses v4.37.9, while analyze uses v4.38.0. The analyze step validates the version stored by init and can fail with a ConfigurationError when the versions differ. Update init to the v4.38.0 commit.
