FAQPage Schema
How do I create multi-language CodeQL databases for Go, Python, and JavaScript projects?

Multi-language CodeQL database creation is automated by running included scripts that orchestrate database building across Go, Python, and JavaScript codebases. It requires CodeQL CLI, language toolchains, and network access to download packs.

What is needed to run CodeQL analysis in CI/CD pipelines for multiple languages?

Running CodeQL analysis in CI/CD pipelines requires the CodeQL CLI, Go, Python, and Node language toolchains, and network access to download packs. The included scripts orchestrate database creation and security auditing across these environments.

Can I use CodeQL pack management for parallel workspaces during security audits?

Yes, CodeQL pack management supports streamlined orchestration for parallel workspaces during security audits. The scripts handle pack downloads and multi-language database creation, requiring network access to fetch necessary analysis packs.

Does CodeQL database building work without installing Go, Python, and Node toolchains?

No, CodeQL database building requires Go, Python, and Node language toolchains installed locally. The scripts depend on these toolchains to extract code structure and create accurate multi-language databases for analysis.

What's the best way to automate CodeQL database creation for a multi-language codebase?

Automating CodeQL database creation for multi-language codebases is best handled by running the included scripts that orchestrate database building for Go, Python, and JavaScript, while managing pack downloads and parallel workspace orchestration.

Why does CodeQL database building fail when there is no network access in CI/CD?

CodeQL database building fails without network access because the scripts require connectivity to download CodeQL packs needed for analysis. Pack management depends on fetching query packs from remote repositories during the database creation process.
