CodeQL does not seem to support .NET 6.x (pre-release)

[manastalukdar]

Code is not detected when built with .NET 6.x (pre-release).

Correct, we do not officially support pre-releases for C#.

.NET 6 is now officially released.

Add a global.json file to your project with

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "6.0.100",
    "rollForward": "latestMajor"
  }
}

Tested and working on my .NET 6 project over at https://github.com/Reelix/Reecon

Thanks for the workaround. Works for my project, as well.

I added a "Set up .NET" step with .NET version 6 before Autobuild and it also works.

I added a "Set up .NET" step with .NET version 6 before Autobuild and it also works.

For people who may stumble upon this and not really know what this means, you can add the following to your .yml file as one of the steps in the job. I added this just before the "Initialize CodeQL" step.

    - name: Setup .NET
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: '6.0'
        include-prerelease: True

You don't need to include prerelease if you don't need .NET 6 Preview builds.
