CodeQL Action Fails to Find eslint-results.sarif: Path Does Not Exist Error

Start with the workflow shown in the issue and the CodeQL upload-sarif step; compare the reported missing eslint-results.sarif path with the preceding ESLint command. Done when the workflow produces that SARIF file and the upload step completes without the path error.

Always getting the follow error when running the default CodeQL upload action, seen this has been raised before but no solution found.

Warning: CodeQL Action v2 will be deprecated on December 5th, 2024. Please update all occurrences of the CodeQL Action in your workflow files to v3. For more information, see https://github.blog/changelog/2024-01-12-code-scanning-deprecation-of-codeql-action-v2/
