Remove legacy tracing by henrymercer · Pull Request #1618 · github/codeql-action (original) (raw)

Now that GHES 3.4 has been deprecated, we no longer need to support CodeQL CLI 2.7.x. This lets us clear up a significant amount of tech debt, including removing support for legacy tracing. Databases are now always traced using DB clusters and the new tracer.

We'll hold off on merging this until the GHES 3.9 release of the Action is done: while the code paths for supported versions of the CLI shouldn't change, this PR touches quite a few places and waiting for GHES 3.10 minimises risk.
