In short
Create the qlpack

Create the qlpack files if not there, one per directory. In this project, that's already done:

  0:$ find codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver  -name "qlpack.yml" 
  codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver/queries/qlpack.yml
  codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver/solutions/qlpack.yml
  codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver/common/qlpack.yml

For example:

cat codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver/queries/qlpack.yml

shows

  ---
  library: false
  name: queries
  version: 0.0.1
  dependencies:
    codeql/cpp-all: ^0.7.0
    common: "*"

So the queries directory does not contain a library, but it depends on one,

cat codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver/common/qlpack.yml

  ---
  library: true
  name: common
  version: 0.0.1
  dependencies:
    codeql/cpp-all: 0.7.0
Install each pack's dependencies

The first time you install dependencies, it's a good idea to do this menually, per qlpack.yml file, and deal with any errors that may occur.

  pushd ~/local/codeql-cli-end-to-end/codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver
  codeql pack install --no-strict-mode queries/

After the initial setup and for automation, install each pack's dependencies via a loop: codeql pack install

  pushd ~/local/codeql-cli-end-to-end/codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver
  find . -name "qlpack.yml"
  # ./queries/qlpack.yml
  # ./solutions/qlpack.yml
  # ./common/qlpack.yml

  codeql pack install --no-strict-mode queries/
  # Dependencies resolved. Installing packages...
  # Install location: /Users/hohn/.codeql/packages
  # Nothing to install.
  # Package install location: /Users/hohn/.codeql/packages
  # Nothing downloaded.

  for sub in `find . -name "qlpack.yml" | sed s@qlpack.yml@@g;`
  do
      codeql pack install --no-strict-mode $sub
  done

Run queries

Individual: 1 database -> N sarif files 
  #* Set environment
  PROJ=$HOME/local/codeql-cli-end-to-end/codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver
  DB=$PROJ/vulnerable-linux-driver-db
  QLQUERY=$PROJ/solutions/BufferOverflow.ql
  QUERY_RES_SARIF=$PROJ/$(cd $PROJ && git rev-parse --short HEAD)-BufferOverflow.sarif

  #* Run query
  pushd $PROJ
  codeql database analyze --format=sarif-latest --rerun   \
         --output $QUERY_RES_SARIF                        \
         -j6                                              \
         --ram=24000                                      \
         --                                               \
         $DB                                              \
         $QLQUERY

  # if you get
      # fatal error occurred: Error initializing the IMB disk cache: the cache
      # directory is already locked by another running process. Only one instance of
      # the IMB can access a cache directory at a time. The lock file is located at
      # /Users/hohn/local/codeql-cli-end-to-end/codeql-workshop-vulnerable-linux-driver/vulnerable-linux-driver-db/db-cpp/default/cache/.lock
  #  exit vs code and try again

And after some time:

  BufferOverflow.ql: [1/1 eval 1.8s] Results written to solutions/BufferOverfl
  Shutting down query evaluator.
  Interpreting results.
  echo The query $QLQUERY
  echo run on $DB
  echo produced output in $QUERY_RES_SARIF:
  head -5 $QUERY_RES_SARIF
  # {
  #   "$schema" : "https://json.schemastore.org/sarif-2.1.0.json",
  #   "version" : "2.1.0",
  #   "runs" : [ {
  #     "tool" : {
  # ...

And run another, get another sarif file. Bad idea in general, but good for debugging timing etc.

  #* Use prior variable settings

  #* Run query
  pushd $PROJ
  qo=$PROJ/$(cd $PROJ && git rev-parse --short HEAD)-UseAfterFree.sarif
  codeql database analyze --format=sarif-latest --rerun   \

  echo "Query results in $qo"

  #* check variables

         $P1_PROJ/solutions/
  popd

We can compare SARIF result sizes:

  ls -la "$qo" $P1_QUERY_RES_SARIF $QUERY_RES_SARIF

And for these tiny results, it's mostly metadata:

Documentation
  • built-in-codeql-query-suites
  • creating-codeql-query-suites Important: You must add at least one query, queries, or qlpack instruction to your suite definition, otherwise no queries will be selected. If the suite contains no further instructions, all the queries found from the list of files, in the given directory, or in the named CodeQL pack are selected. If there are further filtering instructions, only queries that match the constraints imposed by those instructions will be selected. Also, a suite definition must be in a codeql pack.
