Allow index-files to specify file target list? #74
Description
Activity
Are you interested in indexing a fixed list of files, rather than using a glob pattern (which
--includealready supports)?Reacted by David ManouchehriThat's correct!
Could you do something like:
codeql database index-files --language=javascript --include=src/file1.js --include=src/file2.js --include=src/file3.js my_databaseThis wouldn't work for 100s of files, but might work for a handful.
That would work, but yeah, my use-case is in the >1,000 range of files. =)
This might be something we want to support more directly, but I imagine you could achieve what you need with
xargsin the meantime.
Instead of manually specifying
--include=src/file1.js,--include=src/file2.js,--include=src/file3.js, etc, hundred/thousands of times for large projects, it would be really handy if I could just provide the list of files I want indexed.Usage would look like:
And
targets.txtwould look like:(Obviously in a real world use-case, it would be a much longer list.)
