## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```shell copy
|
|
codeql execute upgrades [--threads=<num>] <options>... -- <dataset> <script>...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
\[Plumbing] Run upgrade scripts on an existing raw QL dataset.
|
|
|
|
This command runs a particular sequence of upgrade scripts against the
|
|
dataset. It is the caller's responsibility that the "old" dbscheme of
|
|
each upgrade script matches the "new" dbscheme of the previous script
|
|
(or, for the first script, the current dbscheme of the dataset). If not,
|
|
an error will be reported.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### Primary Options
|
|
|
|
#### `<dataset>`
|
|
|
|
\[Mandatory] Path to the raw QL dataset to upgrade.
|
|
|
|
#### `<script>...`
|
|
|
|
\[Mandatory] Paths to upgrade scripts to execute. (Each upgrade script
|
|
is a directory containing several files that define an upgrade
|
|
operation). They must be given in the order they are to be applied.
|
|
|
|
#### `--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 `;`).
|
|
|
|
### Options to control evaluation of upgrade queries
|
|
|
|
#### `--[no-]tuple-counting`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Display tuple counts for each evaluation step in the query
|
|
evaluator logs. If the `--evaluator-log` option is provided, tuple
|
|
counts will be included in both the text-based and structured JSON logs
|
|
produced by the command. (This can be useful for performance
|
|
optimization of complex QL code).
|
|
|
|
#### `--timeout=<seconds>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Set the timeout length for query evaluation, in seconds.
|
|
|
|
The timeout feature is intended to catch cases where a complex query
|
|
would take "forever" to evaluate. It is not an effective way to limit
|
|
the total amount of time the query evaluation can take. The evaluation
|
|
will be allowed to continue as long as each separately timed part of the
|
|
computation completes within the timeout. Currently these separately
|
|
timed parts are "RA layers" of the optimized query, but that might
|
|
change in the future.
|
|
|
|
If no timeout is specified, or is given as 0, no timeout will be set
|
|
(except for [codeql test run](/code-security/codeql-cli/codeql-cli-manual/test-run), where the default timeout is 5 minutes).
|
|
|
|
#### `-j, --threads=<num>`
|
|
|
|
Use this many threads to evaluate queries.
|
|
|
|
Defaults to 1. You can pass 0 to use one thread per core on the machine,
|
|
or -_N_ to leave _N_ cores unused (except still use at least one
|
|
thread).
|
|
|
|
#### `--[no-]save-cache`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Aggressively write intermediate results to the disk cache.
|
|
This takes more time and uses (much) more disk space, but may speed up
|
|
the subsequent execution of similar queries.
|
|
|
|
#### `--[no-]expect-discarded-cache`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Make decisions about which predicates to evaluate, and what
|
|
to write to the disk cache, based on the assumption that the cache will
|
|
be discarded after the queries have been executed.
|
|
|
|
#### `--[no-]keep-full-cache`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Don't clean up the disk cache after evaluation completes.
|
|
This may save time if you're going to do [codeql dataset cleanup](/code-security/codeql-cli/codeql-cli-manual/dataset-cleanup) or [codeql database cleanup](/code-security/codeql-cli/codeql-cli-manual/database-cleanup) afterwards anyway.
|
|
|
|
#### `--max-disk-cache=<MB>`
|
|
|
|
Set the maximum amount of space that the disk cache for intermediate
|
|
query results can use.
|
|
|
|
If this size is not configured explicitly, the evaluator will try to use
|
|
a "reasonable" amount of cache space, based on the size of the dataset
|
|
and the complexity of the queries. Explicitly setting a higher limit
|
|
than this default usage will enable additional caching which can speed
|
|
up later queries.
|
|
|
|
#### `--min-disk-free=<MB>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Set target amount of free space on file system.
|
|
|
|
If `--max-disk-cache` is not given, the evaluator will try hard to
|
|
curtail disk cache usage if the free space on the file system drops
|
|
below this value.
|
|
|
|
#### `--min-disk-free-pct=<pct>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Set target fraction of free space on file system.
|
|
|
|
If `--max-disk-cache` is not given, the evaluator will try hard to
|
|
curtail disk cache usage if the free space on the file system drops
|
|
below this percentage.
|
|
|
|
#### `--external=<pred>=<file.csv>`
|
|
|
|
A CSV file that contains rows for external predicate _\<pred>_.
|
|
Multiple `--external` options can be supplied.
|
|
|
|
#### `--xterm-progress=<mode>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Controls whether to show progress tracking during QL
|
|
evaluation using xterm control sequences. Possible values are:
|
|
|
|
`no`: Never produce fancy progress; assume a dumb terminal.
|
|
|
|
`auto` _(default)_: Autodetect whether the command is running in an
|
|
appropriate terminal.
|
|
|
|
`yes`: Assume the terminal can understand xterm control sequences. The
|
|
feature still depends on being able to autodetect the _size_ of the
|
|
terminal (which is not implemented on Windows, sorry), and will also be
|
|
disabled if `-q` is given.
|
|
|
|
`25x80` (or similar): Like `yes`, and also explicitly give the size of
|
|
the terminal. (Unlike `yes`, this should work on Windows.)
|
|
|
|
`25x80:/dev/pts/17` (or similar): show fancy progress on a _different_
|
|
terminal than stderr. Mostly useful for internal testing.
|
|
|
|
### Options for controlling outputting of structured evaluator logs
|
|
|
|
#### `--evaluator-log=<file>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Output structured logs about evaluator performance to the
|
|
given file. The format of this log file is subject to change with no
|
|
notice, but will be a stream of JSON objects separated by either two
|
|
newline characters (by default) or one if the `--evaluator-log-minify`
|
|
option is passed. Please use `codeql generate log-summary <file>` to
|
|
produce a more stable summary of this file, and avoid parsing the file
|
|
directly. The file will be overwritten if it already exists.
|
|
|
|
#### `--evaluator-log-minify`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] If the `--evaluator-log` option is passed, also passing
|
|
this option will minimize the size of the JSON log produced, at the
|
|
expense of making it much less human readable.
|
|
|
|
### 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.)
|
|
|
|
#### `--common-caches=<dir>`
|
|
|
|
\[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.
|
|
|
|
Available since `v2.15.2`.
