CodeQL CLI database bundles contain a copy of the source code being analyzed by CodeQL, therefore we suggest sharing these bundles only with people who are authorized to access that source code.
About creating CodeQL CLI database bundles
The CodeQL CLI database bundle command can be used to create a relocatable archive of a CodeQL database.
A copy of a database bundle can be used to share troubleshooting information with your team members or with Suporte do GitHub.
The following CodeQL CLI command syntax is suggested when creating a database bundle for troubleshooting purposes:
Note
This sample database bundle command requires CodeQL CLI version 2.17.6 or higher.
codeql database bundle --output=codeql-debug-artifacts.zip --include-diagnostics --include-logs --include-results -- <dir>
For this command, <dir> must be the path to the directory where the CodeQL database was created.
The successful command execution creates a zip file called codeql-debug-artifacts.zip which contains CodeQL troubleshooting information. That file is the database bundle.
This command assumes that the --log-dir command line argument was not used for the database create and database analyze commands. When that command line argument is used, the log files created by those commands will not be included with the database bundle.
Increasing the verbosity for database create and database analyze
If the database create and database analyze commands are not detailed enough for troubleshooting purposes, you can increase their verbosity.
Both commands support the --verbosity command line argument which can be set to progress++ prior to creating a database bundle.
