[Deep plumbing] Determine QL library path and dbscheme for a query.
Determine which QL library path a particular query should be compiled against. This computation is implicit in several subcommands that may need to compile queries. It is exposed as a separate plumbing command in order to (a) help with troubleshooting, and (b) provide a starting point for modifying the path in extraordinary cases where exact control is needed.
The command will also detect a language and dbscheme to compile a query against, as these may also depend on autodetecting the language of a QL query.
The command is deeply internal and its behavior or existence may change without much notice as the QL language ecosystem evolves.
[Advanced] Include in the output a summary of extractor
fields from
the QL packs that the query depends on. This is used only for a few rare
internal cases, and may require more work to compute, so is not turned
on by default.
Select output format. Choices include:
lines
(default): Print command line arguments on one line each.
json
: Print a JSON object with all the data.
path
: Print just the computed library path.
dbscheme
: Print just the detected dbscheme.
cache
: Print the default compilation cache location, or nothing if
none.
A list of directories under which QL packs may be found. Each directory
can either be a QL pack (or bundle of packs containing a
.codeqlmanifest.json
file at the root) or the immediate parent of one
or more such directories.
If the path contains more than one directory, their order defines precedence between them: when a pack name that must be resolved is matched in more than one of the directory trees, the one given first wins.
Pointing this at a checkout of the open-source CodeQL repository ought to work when querying one of the languages that live there.
If you have checked out the CodeQL repository as a sibling of the
unpacked CodeQL toolchain, you don't need to give this option; such
sibling directories will always be searched for QL packs that cannot be
found otherwise. (If this default does not work, it is strongly
recommended to set up --search-path
once and for all in a per-user
configuration file).
(Note: On Windows the path separator is ;
).
If this list of directories is given, they will be searched for packs
before the ones in --search-path
. The order between these doesn't
matter; it is an error if a pack name is found in two different places
through this list.
This is useful if you're temporarily developing a new version of a pack that also appears in the default path. On the other hand, it is not recommended to override this option in a config file; some internal actions will add this option on the fly, overriding any configured value.
(Note: On Windows the path separator is ;
).
[Advanced] An optional list of directories that will be added to the raw import search path for QL libraries. This should only be used if you're using QL libraries that have not been packaged as QL packs.
(Note: On Windows the path separator is ;
).
[Advanced] Explicitly define which dbscheme queries should be compiled against. This should only be given by callers that are extremely sure what they're doing.
[Advanced] Specify an additional directory to use as a compilation cache.
[Advanced] Don't use compilation caches in standard locations such as in the QL pack containing the query or in the CodeQL toolchain directory.
Authenticate to GitHub Enterprise Server Container registries by passing a comma-separated list of <registry_url>=<token> pairs.
For example, you can pass
https://containers.GHEHOSTNAME1/v2/=TOKEN1,https://containers.GHEHOSTNAME2/v2/=TOKEN2
to authenticate to two GitHub Enterprise Server instances.
This overrides the CODEQL_REGISTRIES_AUTH and GITHUB_TOKEN environment
variables. If you only need to authenticate to the github.com Container
registry, you can instead authenticate using the simpler
--github-auth-stdin
option.
Authenticate to the github.com Container registry by passing a github.com GitHub Apps token or personal access token via standard input.
To authenticate to GitHub Enterprise Server Container registries, pass
--registries-auth-stdin
or use the CODEQL_REGISTRIES_AUTH environment
variable.
This overrides the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
Exactly one of these options must be given.
The path to the QL file we want to compile.
Its directory and parent directories will be searched for qlpack.yml or legacy queries.xml files to determine necessary packs.
The root directory of the pack containing queries to compile.
[Advanced] The declared name of a pack to use as root for dependency resolution.
This is used when the pack can be found by name somewhere in the search
path. If you know the disk location of your desired root package,
pretend it contains a .ql file and use --query
instead.
Show this help text.
[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides -v
and -q
.
[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of the running subcommand.
(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead
give --log-to-stderr
and redirect stderr as desired.)
[Advanced] Controls the location of cached data on disk that will
persist between several runs of the CLI, such as downloaded QL packs and
compiled query plans. If not set explicitly, this defaults to a
directory named .codeql
in the user's home directory; it will be
created if it doesn't already exist.
