Release Notes

Version v6.0.0

New in scan-action v6.0.0

Breaking Change

  • feat: add output-file option, default to random directory output in temp (#346) [kzantow]

The action no longer generates files in your working directory by default, instead you should use the action outputs: ${{ steps.<id>.outputs.sarif }} where the <id> needs to match the id you configured to reference the scan-action, e.g.:

      - uses: anchore/scan-action[@v6](https://github.com/v6)
        id: scan
        ...
      - uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif[@v3](https://github.com/v3)
        with:
          sarif_file: ${{ steps.scan.outputs.sarif }}
