# Rust on CodeQL
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> Rust support for CodeQL is experimental. No support is offered. QL and database interfaces will change and break without notice or deprecation periods.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
If you don't have the `semmle-code` repo you may need to install Bazel manually, e.g. from https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk.
|
|
|
|
### Building the Rust Extractor
|
|
|
|
This approach uses a released `codeql` version and is simpler to use for QL development. From your `semmle-code` directory run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
bazel run @codeql//rust:installer
|
|
```
|
|
You now need to create a [per-user CodeQL configuration file](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/codeql-cli/using-the-advanced-functionality-of-the-codeql-cli/specifying-command-options-in-a-codeql-configuration-file#using-a-codeql-configuration-file) and specify the option:
|
|
```
|
|
--search-path PATH/TO/semmle-code/ql
|
|
```
|
|
(wherever the `codeql` checkout is on your system)
|
|
|
|
You can now use the Rust extractor e.g. to run Rust tests from the command line or in VSCode.
|
|
|
|
### Building the Rust Extractor (as a sembuild target)
|
|
|
|
This approach allows you to build a Rust extractor with a CLI built from source. From your `semmle-code` directory run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build target/intree/codeql-rust
|
|
```
|
|
You can now invoke it directly, for example to run some tests:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./target/intree/codeql-rust/codeql test run ql/rust/ql/test/PATH/TO/TEST/
|
|
```
