## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```shell copy
|
|
codeql resolve tests <options>... -- <test|dir>...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
\[Deep plumbing] Find QL unit tests in given directories.
|
|
|
|
This plumbing command is responsible for expanding the command-line
|
|
parameters of subcommands that run QL unit tests, to an actual list of
|
|
individual .ql and .qlref files to execute.
|
|
|
|
## Primary options
|
|
|
|
#### `<test|dir>...`
|
|
|
|
Each argument is one of:
|
|
|
|
- A `.ql` or `.qlref` file that defines a test to run.
|
|
- A directory which will be searched recursively for tests to run.
|
|
|
|
#### `--slice=<N/M>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Divide the test cases into _M_ roughly equal-sized slices
|
|
and process only the _N_th of them. This can be used for manual
|
|
parallelization of the testing process.
|
|
|
|
#### `--[no-]strict-test-discovery`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Only use queries that can be strongly identified as tests.
|
|
This mode tries to distinguish between `.ql` files that define unit
|
|
tests and `.ql` files that are meant to be useful queries. This option
|
|
is used by tools, such as IDEs, that need to identify all unit tests in
|
|
a directory tree without depending on previous knowledge of how the
|
|
files in it are arranged.
|
|
|
|
Within a QL pack whose `qlpack.yml` declares a `tests` directory, all
|
|
`.ql` files in that directory are considered tests, and `.ql` files
|
|
outside it are ignored. In a QL pack that doesn't declare a `tests`
|
|
directory, a `.ql` file is identified as a test only if it has a
|
|
corresponding `.expected` file.
|
|
|
|
For consistency, `.qlref` files are limited by the same rules as `.ql`
|
|
files even though a `.qlref` file cannot really be a non-test.
|
|
|
|
#### `--format=<fmt>`
|
|
|
|
Select output format, either `text` _(default)_ or `json`.
|
|
|
|
### 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.)
