This is issue is fixed if I delete the database folder but it will start up again. We had been running CodeQL nightly for months and then this issue began. I have checked the disk space and that does not seem to be an issue. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi @ricardo-noyolalozano,

Would it be possible for you to rerun the workflow with debugging enabled and send us the log files from the generated artifacts? You can see how to rerun your workflow with debugging enabled here: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-08-01-debugging-codeql-analysis-in-code-scanning-made-easier-by-obtaining-detailed-logs-and-debugging-artifacts-from-the-codeql-action/

@MathiasVP are there any particular files or folders that would be of interest? sorry just looking at some of the files I can see that some sensitive company information is on them and since this is a private repo I have to be careful.

[MathiasVP]

Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't realize this wasn't in an open source repository.

We're mostly interested in the .log files from the artifact, although I can't promise that other files may not be relevant for subsequent debugging. If you open a support ticket (see https://docs.github.com/en/support/contacting-github-support/creating-a-support-ticket) then we can debug this without any fear of exposing sensitive company information.

Any idea what the reason could be. I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. The CodeQL workflow fails approx. in 50% of the workflow runs.

[MathiasVP]

Difficult to say without more information, unfortunately. The issue reported by the user is now being handled elsewhere. Do you mind opening a fresh issue with as much information you can so that we can debug this better? I'm thinking of information such as:

• Which CodeQL version are you running?
• Which OS is CodeQL running on?
• Which language?
• If this is a open-source repository: Could you provide an Action run with debugging enabled?

And anything else that you think may be relevant. We'll be happy to help you from there!

Hi @MathiasVP, sorry for the delay. Now I've collected some information which might be helpful:

CodeQL version: 2.15.5
OS: Linux Ubuntu (local GitHub runner)
Language: Typescript/Javascript
Docker Image: node:lts-bullseye

Before every run, the database is cleared with:

rm -rf "/home/relbuilder/actions-runner-2/_work/_temp/codeql_databases/javascript"

Unfortunately this is not an open source repo of my company, but I've attached some uncritical log output. It is not captured in debug mode. The problem is that if I would re-run such a failed action manually in debug mode, it always works well.

Any update on this issue?

I have the same issue, with codeql 2.19.4
