## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```shell copy
|
|
codeql resolve qlref <options>... -- <qlref>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
\[Deep plumbing] Dereferences a .qlref file to return a .ql one.
|
|
|
|
Accepts a .qlref file and returns the .ql file that it points to.
|
|
|
|
## Primary options
|
|
|
|
#### `<qlref>`
|
|
|
|
\[Mandatory] .qlref file to dereference.
|
|
|
|
### Options to find libraries and extractors used by the tests
|
|
|
|
#### `--search-path=<dir>[:<dir>...]`
|
|
|
|
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 `;`).
|
|
|
|
#### `--additional-packs=<dir>[:<dir>...]`
|
|
|
|
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 `;`).
|
|
|
|
#### `--library-path=<dir>[:<dir>...]`
|
|
|
|
\[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 `;`).
|
|
|
|
#### `--dbscheme=<file>`
|
|
|
|
\[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.
|
|
|
|
#### `--compilation-cache=<dir>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Specify an additional directory to use as a compilation
|
|
cache.
|
|
|
|
#### `--no-default-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.
|
|
|
|
### Options for configuring the CodeQL package manager
|
|
|
|
#### `--registries-auth-stdin`
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
#### `--github-auth-stdin`
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### Common options
|
|
|
|
#### `-h, --help`
|
|
|
|
Show this help text.
|
|
|
|
#### `-J=<opt>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
|
|
|
|
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
|
|
|
|
#### `-v, --verbose`
|
|
|
|
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
|
|
|
|
#### `-q, --quiet`
|
|
|
|
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
|
|
|
|
#### `--verbosity=<level>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
|
|
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides `-v`
|
|
and `-q`.
|
|
|
|
#### `--logdir=<dir>`
|
|
|
|
\[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.)
