Note: The CodeQL runner is currently in beta and subject to change.
Note: For private and internal repositories, code scanning is available when GitHub Advanced Security features are enabled for the repository. If you see the error Advanced Security must be enabled for this repository to use code scanning, check that GitHub Advanced Security is enabled. For more information, see "Managing security and analysis settings for your repository."
The init command takes too long
Before the CodeQL runner can build and analyze code, it needs access to the CodeQL bundle, which contains the CodeQL CLI and the CodeQL libraries.
When you use the CodeQL runner for the first time on your machine, the init command downloads the CodeQL bundle to your machine. This download can take a few minutes. The CodeQL bundle is cached between runs, so if you use the CodeQL runner again on the same machine, it won't download the CodeQL bundle again.
To avoid this automatic download, you can manually download the CodeQL bundle to your machine and specify the path using the --codeql-path flag of the init command.
ビルド中にコードが見つからない
If the analyze command for the CodeQL runner fails with an error No source code was seen during the build, this indicates that CodeQL was unable to monitor your code. Several reasons can explain such a failure.
-
自動言語検出により、サポートされている言語が特定されたが、リポジトリにその言語の分析可能なコードがない。 一般的な例としては、言語検出サービスが
.hや.gypファイルなどの特定のプログラミング言語に関連付けられたファイルを見つけたが、対応する実行可能コードがリポジトリに存在しない場合です。 To solve the problem, you can manually define the languages you want to analyze by using the--languagesflag of theinitcommand. For more information, see "Configuring code scanning in your CI system." -
You're analyzing a compiled language without using the
autobuildcommand and you run the build steps yourself after theinitstep. For the build to work, you must set up the environment such that the CodeQL runner can monitor the code. Theinitcommand generates instructions for how to export the required environment variables, so you can copy and run the script after you've run theinitcommand.- On macOS and Linux:
$ . codeql-runner/codeql-env.sh - On Windows, using the Command shell (
cmd) or a batch file (.bat):> call codeql-runner\codeql-env.bat - On Windows, using PowerShell:
> cat codeql-runner\codeql-env.sh | Invoke-Expression
The environment variables are also stored in the file
codeql-runner/codeql-env.json. This file contains a single JSON object which maps environment variable keys to values. If you can't run the script generated by theinitcommand, then you can use the data in JSON format instead.Note: If you used the
--temp-dirflag of theinitcommand to specify a custom directory for temporary files, the path to thecodeql-envfiles might be different. - On macOS and Linux:

The code is built in a container or on a separate machine. If you use a containerized build or if you outsource the build to another machine, make sure to run the CodeQL runner in the container or on the machine where your build task takes place. For more information, see "Running CodeQL code scanning in a container."
