Rust on CodeQL
Development
Dependencies
At present you need to be in the rust-experiment branch (or a branch on top of that) in both the semmle-code and codeql repos.
TODO: are there any dependencies that aren't already CodeQL dependencies? bazel and rustc?
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:
bazel run @codeql//rust:rust-installer
You now need to create a per-user CodeQL configuration file and specify the option:
--search-path Users/YOURUSERNAME/semmle-code/ql
(or wherever the ql directory 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:
./build target/intree/codeql-rust
You can now invoke it directly, for example to run some tests:
./target/intree/codeql-rust/codeql test run ql/rust/ql/test/PATH/TO/TEST/
