CodeChecker command line interface consists of analysis and web related sub-commands.
This user guide describes web server and client related sub commands to perform the following actions:
- Start & Manage CodeChecker web server instances
- Store/Read/Manage analysis results
- Calculate diff between runs
- Configure codechecker repositories (products)
- Configure source code components
- Use suppression files (instead of in-line suppressions)
- Export/Import Suppression Rules and Comments
The CodeChecker client uses only HTTP(S) protocol to communicate with the server.
Running CodeChecker is via its main invocation script, CodeChecker:
$ CodeChecker --help (click to expand)
usage: CodeChecker [-h]
{analyze,analyzers,check,checkers,cmd,log,parse,server,store,version}
...
Run the CodeChecker sourcecode analyzer framework.
Please specify a subcommand to access individual features.
positional arguments:
{analyze,analyzers,check,checkers,cmd,log,parse,server,store,version}
commands
analyze Execute the supported code analyzers for the files
recorded in a JSON Compilation Database.
analyzers List supported and available analyzers.
check Perform analysis on a project and print results to
standard output.
checkers List the checkers available for code analysis.
cmd View analysis results on a running server from the
command line.
log Run a build command and collect the executed
compilation commands, storing them in a JSON file.
parse Print analysis summary and results in a human-readable
format.
server Start and manage the CodeChecker Web server.
store Save analysis results to a database.
version Print the version of CodeChecker package that is being
used.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
CodeChecker command line invocation parameter list can be long.
All CodeChecker sub-command can use a --config CONFIG_FILE to describe
command line argument lists.
For example instead of invoking
CodeChecker store --name my_run --tag=my_tag --url=http://codechecker.my:9090/MyProduct
one can write CodeChecker store --config client_config.json.
client_config.json
{
"store": [
"--name=my_run",
"--tag=my_tag",
"--url=http://codechecker.my:9090/MyProduct"
]
}For details see Client Configuration File
To view and store the analysis reports in a database, a CodeChecker server
must be started. This is done via the server command, which creates a
standard Web server and initializes or connects to a database with
the given configuration.
The CodeChecker Viewer server can be browsed by a Web browser by opening the
address of it (by default, http://localhost:8001),
or via the CodeChecker cmd command-line client.
$ CodeChecker server --help (click to expand)
usage: CodeChecker server [-h] [-w WORKSPACE] [-f CONFIG_DIRECTORY]
[--host LISTEN_ADDRESS] [-v PORT] [--not-host-only]
[--skip-db-cleanup] [--config CONFIG_FILE]
[--sqlite SQLITE_FILE | --postgresql]
[--dbaddress DBADDRESS] [--dbport DBPORT]
[--dbusername DBUSERNAME] [--dbname DBNAME]
[--reset-root] [--force-authentication]
[-l | -r | -s | --stop-all]
[--db-status STATUS | --db-upgrade-schema PRODUCT_TO_UPGRADE | --db-force-upgrade]
[--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}]
The CodeChecker Web server is used to handle the storage and navigation of
analysis results. A started server can be connected to via a Web browser, or
by using the 'CodeChecker cmd' command-line client.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-w WORKSPACE, --workspace WORKSPACE
Directory where CodeChecker can store analysis result
related data, such as the database. (Cannot be
specified at the same time with '--sqlite' or
'--config-directory'.) (default:
/home/<username>/.codechecker)
-f CONFIG_DIRECTORY, --config-directory CONFIG_DIRECTORY
Directory where CodeChecker server should read server-
specific configuration (such as authentication
settings, and TLS/SSL certificates) from.
(default: /home/<username>/.codechecker)
--host LISTEN_ADDRESS
The IP address or hostname of the server on which it
should listen for connections. For IPv6 listening,
specify an IPv6 address, such as "::1". (default:
localhost)
-v PORT, --view-port PORT, -p PORT, --port PORT
The port which will be used as listen port for the
server. (default: 8001)
--not-host-only If specified, storing and viewing the results will be
possible not only by browsers and clients running
locally, but to everyone, who can access the server
over the Internet. (Equivalent to specifying '--host
"::"'.) (default: False)
--skip-db-cleanup Skip performing cleanup jobs on the database like
removing unused files. (default: False)
--config CONFIG_FILE Allow the configuration from an explicit configuration
file. The values configured in the config file will
overwrite the values set in the command line.
You can use any environment variable inside this file
and it will be expaneded.
For more information see the docs: https://github.com/
Ericsson/codechecker/tree/master/docs/config_file.md
(default: None)
--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}
Set verbosity level.
configuration database arguments:
--sqlite SQLITE_FILE Path of the SQLite database file to use. (default:
<CONFIG_DIRECTORY>/config.sqlite)
--postgresql Specifies that a PostgreSQL database is to be used
instead of SQLite. See the "PostgreSQL arguments"
section on how to configure the database connection.
PostgreSQL arguments:
Values of these arguments are ignored, unless '--postgresql' is specified!
--dbaddress DBADDRESS, --db-host DBADDRESS
Database server address. (default: localhost)
--dbport DBPORT, --db-port DBPORT
Database server port. (default: 5432)
--dbusername DBUSERNAME, --db-username DBUSERNAME
Username to use for connection. (default: codechecker)
--dbname DBNAME, --db-name DBNAME
Name of the database to use. (default: config)
To start a server with default configuration, simply execute
CodeChecker server --host LISTEN_ADDRESS
The IP address or hostname of the server on which it
should listen for connections. (default: localhost)
--not-host-only If specified, viewing the results will be possible not
only by browsers and clients running locally, but to
everyone, who can access the server over the Internet.
(Equivalent to specifying '--host ""'.) (default:
False)
By default, the running server can only be accessed from the same machine
(localhost) where it is running. This can be overridden by specifying
--host "", instructing the server to listen on all available interfaces.
To run CodeChecker server in Docker see the Docker documentation.
CodeChecker server can use PostgreSQL or SQLite databases to store the analysis results. SQlite is only recommended high volume production usage, only for small test installations.
The server_config.json file describes
the run-time settings of the web server.
The following parameters can be configured
- Auhtentication methods (LDAP, File Based, PAM)
- Number of server threads
- Storage Limits: Maximum number of runs, maximum failiure zip size etc.
- TCP related settings
You can find a specification of this file in Server Configuration document and authentication related sections in the Authentication Configuration document.
The --config-directory (-f) specifies where the server configuration
files are located.
For example, one can start two servers with two different product layout, but with the same (authentication) configuration:
CodeChecker server --sqlite ~/major_bugs.sqlite -f ~/.codechecker -p 8001
CodeChecker server --sqlite ~/minor_bugs.sqlite -f ~/.codechecker -p 8002If sqlite database is used, the --workspace argument can be used to shortcut
this specification. The configuration file and the sqlite files will be located
in the workspace directory.
The --sqlite (or --postgresql and the various --db- arguments) can be
used to specify where the database, containing the analysis reports is located.
If the server is started in --sqlite mode and fresh, that is, no product
repository sqlite file is found, a product named Default, using Default.sqlite
in the configuration directory is automatically created. Please see
Product management for details on how to configure products.
In order to use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite, use the --postgresql command
line argument for CodeChecker server command.
If --postgresql is not given then SQLite is used by default in
which case --dbport, --dbaddress, --dbname, and
--dbusername command line arguments are ignored.
NOTE! Schema migration is not supported with SQLite. This means if you upgrade your CodeChecker to a newer version, you might need to re-check your project.
It is recommended to use only the Postgresql databse for production deployments!
root account arguments:
Servers automatically create a root user to access the server's
configuration via the clients. This user is created at first start and
saved in the CONFIG_DIRECTORY, and the credentials are printed to the
server's standard output. The plaintext credentials are NEVER accessible
again.
--reset-root Force the server to recreate the master superuser
(root) account name and password. The previous
credentials will be invalidated, and the new ones will
be printed to the standard output.
--force-authentication
Force the server to run in authentication requiring
mode, despite the configuration value in
'session_config.json'. This is needed if you need to
edit the product configuration of a server that would
not require authentication otherwise.
You can enforce TLS/SSL security on your listening socket. In this case all clients
must access your server using the https://host:port URL format.
To enable TLS/SSL simply place a TLS certificate to <CONFIG_DIRECTORY>/cert.pem
and the corresponding private key to <CONFIG_DIRECTORY>/key.pem.
You can generate these certificates for example
using the openssl tool.
When the server finds these files upon start-up,
TLS/SSL will be automatically enabled.
running server management:
-l, --list List the servers that has been started by you.
-r, --reload Sends the CodeChecker server process a SIGHUP signal,
causing it to reread it's configuration files.
-s, --stop Stops the server associated with the given view-port
and workspace.
--stop-all Stops all of your running CodeChecker server
instances.
CodeChecker servers can be started in the background as any other service, via
common shell tools such as nohup and &!. The running instances can be
queried via --list.
Calling CodeChecker server --stop will stop the "default" server, i.e. one
that was started by simply calling CodeChecker server. This "stop" command
is equivalent to pressing Ctrl-C in the server's terminal, resulting in an
immediate termination of the server.
A server running on a specific and port can be stopped by:
CodeChecker server -w ~/my_codechecker_workspace -p 8002 --stop--stop-all will stop every running server that is printed by --list.
CodeChecker server --reload command allows you to changing configuration-file
options that do not require a complete restart to take effect. For more
information which option can be reloaded see
server config.
Use these arguments to manage the database versions handled by the server. For a more detailed description about the schema upgrade check out the schema migration guide.
Database management arguments.:
WARNING these commands needs to be called with the same workspace and
configuration arguments as the server so the configuration database will
be found which is required for the schema migration. Migration can be done
without a running server but pay attention to use the same arguments which
will be used to start the server. NOTE: Before migration it is advised to
create a full a backup of the product databases.
--status STATUS Name of the product to get the database status for.
Use 'all' to list the database statuses for all of the
products.
--upgrade-schema PRODUCT_TO_UPGRADE
Name of the product to upgrade to the latest database
schema available in the package. Use 'all' to upgrade
all of the products.NOTE: Before migration it is
advised to create a full backup of the product
databases.
--db-force-upgrade Force the server to do database migration without user
interaction. NOTE: Please use with caution and before
automatic migration it is advised to create a full
backup of the product databases.
A Codechecker server needs to be started before the reports can be stored to
a database.
store is used to save previously created machine-readable analysis results
(such as plist files), usually previously generated by CodeChecker analyze
to the database.
$ CodeChecker store --help (click to expand)
usage: CodeChecker store [-h] [-t {plist}] [-n NAME] [--tag TAG]
[--description DESCRIPTION]
[--trim-path-prefix [TRIM_PATH_PREFIX [TRIM_PATH_PREFIX ...]]]
[--config CONFIG_FILE] [-f] [--url PRODUCT_URL]
[--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}]
[file/folder [file/folder ...]]
Store the results from one or more 'codechecker-analyze' result files in a
database.
positional arguments:
file/folder The analysis result files and/or folders containing
analysis results which should be parsed and printed.
If multiple report directories are given, OFF and
UNAVAILABLE detection statuses will not be available.
(default: /home/<username>/.codechecker/reports)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t {plist}, --type {plist}, --input-format {plist}
Specify the format the analysis results were created
as. (default: plist)
-n NAME, --name NAME The name of the analysis run to use in storing the
reports to the database. If not specified, the '--
name' parameter given to 'codechecker-analyze' will be
used, if exists.
--tag TAG A unique identifier for this individual store of results
in the run's history.
--description DESCRIPTION
A custom textual description to be shown alongside the
run.
--trim-path-prefix [TRIM_PATH_PREFIX [TRIM_PATH_PREFIX ...]]
Removes leading path from files which will be printed.
For instance if you analyze files
'/home/jsmith/my_proj/x.cpp' and
'/home/jsmith/my_proj/y.cpp', but would prefer to have
them displayed as 'my_proj/x.cpp' and 'my_proj/y.cpp'
in the web/CLI interface, invoke CodeChecker with '--
trim-path-prefix "/home/jsmith/"'.If multiple prefixes
is given, the longest match will be removed. You may
also use Unix shell-like wildcards (e.g.
'/*/jsmith/').
--config CONFIG_FILE Allow the configuration from an explicit configuration
file. The values configured in the config file will
overwrite the values set in the command line.
You can use any environment variable inside this file
and it will be expaneded.
For more information see the docs: https://github.com/
Ericsson/codechecker/tree/master/docs/config_file.md
(default: None)
-f, --force Delete analysis results stored in the database for the
current analysis run's name and store only the results
reported in the 'input' files. (By default,
CodeChecker would keep reports that were coming from
files not affected by the analysis, and only
incrementally update defect reports for source files
that were analysed.)
--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}
Set verbosity level.
server arguments:
Specifies a 'CodeChecker server' instance which will be used to store the
results. This server must be running and listening, and the given product
must exist prior to the 'store' command being run.
--url PRODUCT_URL The URL of the product to store the results for, in
the format of '[http[s]://]host:port/Endpoint'.
(default: localhost:8001/Default)
environment variables:
CC_PASS_FILE The location of the password file for auto login. By default
CodeChecker will use '~/.codechecker.passwords.json' file.
It can also be used to setup different credential files to
login to the same server with a different user.
CC_SESSION_FILE The location of the session file where valid sessions are
stored. This file will be automatically created by
CodeChecker. By default CodeChecker will use
'~/.codechecker.session.json'. This can be used if
restrictive permissions forbid CodeChecker from creating
files in the users home directory (e.g. in a CI
environment).
The results can be viewed by connecting to such a server in a Web browser or
via 'CodeChecker cmd'.
For example, if the analysis was run like:
CodeChecker analyze ../codechecker_myProject_build.log -o ./my_pliststhen the results of the analysis can be stored with this command:
CodeChecker store ./my_plists -n my_projectSeveral sub-commands, such as store and cmd need a connection specification
that identifies a server and a Product (read more about
products). Actions, like report storage or result
retrieving are performed on these targets.
This is done via the PRODUCT_URL where indicated in the subcommand, which
contains the server's access protocol, address, and the to-be-used product's
unique endpoint. The format of this string is:
[http[s]://]host:port/ProductEndpoint. This URL looks like a standard Web
browsing (HTTP) request URL.
CodeChecker communicates via HTTP requests, thus the first part specifies
whether or not a more secure SSL/TLS-wrapped https protocol should be used.
If omitted, the default value is http. The second part is the host and the
port the server listens on. After a /, the unique endpoint of the product
must be given, this is case-sensitive. This unique endpoint is configured and
allocated when the product is created, by the server's
administrators. The product must exist and be properly configured before any
normal operation could be done on it.
If no URL is specified, the default value http://localhost:8001/Default will
be used: a standard HTTP CodeChecker server running on the local machine, on
the default port, using the Default product.
The URL https://codechecker.example.org:9999/SampleProduct will access the
server machine codechecker.example.org trying to connect to a server
listening on port 9999 via HTTPS. The product SampleProduct will be used.
The CodeChecker cmd is a lightweight command line client that can be used to
view analysis results from the command-line. The command-line client can also
be integrated into a continuous integration loop or can be used to schedule
maintenance tasks.
Most of the features available in a Web browser opening the analysis result
viewer server on its port is available in the cmd tool.
$ CodeChecker cmd --help (click to expand)
usage: CodeChecker cmd [-h]
{runs,history,results,diff,sum,token,del,update,suppress,products,components,login,export,import}
...
The command-line client is used to connect to a running 'CodeChecker server'
(either remote or local) and quickly inspect analysis results, such as runs,
individual defect reports, compare analyses, etc. Please see the invidual
subcommands for further details.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
available actions:
{runs,history,results,diff,sum,token,del,update,suppress,products,components,login,export,import}
runs List the available analysis runs.
history Show run history of multiple runs.
results List analysis result (finding) summary for a given
run.
diff Compare two analysis runs and show the difference.
sum Show statistics of checkers.
token Access subcommands related to configuring personal
access tokens managed by a CodeChecker server.
del Delete analysis runs.
update Update an analysis run.
suppress Manage and import suppressions of a CodeChecker
server.
products Access subcommands related to configuring the products
managed by a CodeChecker server.
components Access subcommands related to configuring the source
components managed by a CodeChecker server.
login Authenticate into CodeChecker servers that require
privileges.
export Export comments and review statues for a given run, or
if no run is provided, data from all runs is exported
The operations available in cmd always require a running CodeChecker
viewer server (i.e. a server started by CodeChecker server), and the
connection details to access the server. These details either take an URL form
(--url hostname:port/Productname) if the command accesses analysis results
in a given product, or a server URL (--url hostname:port), if the command
manages the server.
A server started by default settings (CodeChecker server, see above)
automatically configure the product Default under localhost:8001/Default,
thus the --url parameter can be omitted.
Most result-giving commands also take an --output format parameter. If this
is set to json, a more detailed output is given, in JSON format.
If the given output format is not table we redirect logger's output to the
stderr, so the output of the commands will not be an invalid json, csv,
etc. because of the log messages. To get a valid json output you can redirect
stderr output to /dev/null so you can for example send the json output to
another command for further processing:
CodeChecker cmd sum -n my_run -o json 2>/dev/null | python -m json.tool.
common arguments:
--host HOST The address of the CodeChecker viewer server to
connect to. (default: localhost)
--url SERVER_URL The URL of the server to access, in the format of
'[http[s]://]host:port'. (default: localhost:8001)
--url PRODUCT_URL The URL of the product which will be accessed by the
client, in the format of
'[http[s]://]host:port/Endpoint'.
(default: localhost:8001/Default)
-o {plaintext,rows,table,csv,json}, --output {plaintext,rows,table,csv,json}
The output format to use in showing the data.
(default: plaintext)
--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}
Set verbosity level.
Results can be filtered by using separate filter options of results, diff,
sum, etc. commands.
filter arguments:
--uniqueing {on,off} The same bug may appear several times if it is found
on different execution paths, i.e. through different
function calls. By turning on uniqueing a report
appears only once even if it is found on several
paths.
--report-hash [REPORT_HASH [REPORT_HASH ...]]
Filter results by report hashes.
--review-status [REVIEW_STATUS [REVIEW_STATUS ...]]
Filter results by review statuses.
Reports can be assigned a review status of the
following values:
- Unreviewed: Nobody has seen this report.
- Confirmed: This is really a bug.
- False positive: This is not a bug.
- Intentional: This report is a bug but we don't want
to fix it. (default: ['unreviewed', 'confirmed'])
--detection-status [DETECTION_STATUS [DETECTION_STATUS ...]]
Filter results by detection statuses.
The detection status is the latest state of a bug
report in a run. When a unique report is first
detected it will be marked as New. When the report is
stored again with the same run name then the detection
status changes to one of the following options:
- Resolved: when the bug report can't be found after
the subsequent storage.
- Unresolved: when the bug report is still among the
results after the subsequent storage.
- Reopened: when a Resolved bug appears again.
- Off: The bug was reported by a checker that was
switched off during the last analysis which results
were stored.
- Unavailable: were reported by a checker that does
not exists in the analyzer anymore because it was
removed or renamed. (default: ['new', 'reopened',
'unresolved'])
--severity [SEVERITY [SEVERITY ...]]
Filter results by severities.
--bug-path-length BUG_PATH_LENGTH
Filter results by bug path length. This has the
following format:
<minimum_bug_path_length>:<maximum_bug_path_length>.
Valid values are: "4:10", "4:", ":10"
--tag [TAG [TAG ...]]
Filter results by version tag names.
--outstanding-reports-date TIMESTAMP, --open-reports-date TIMESTAMP
Get results which were detected BEFORE the given date
and NOT FIXED BEFORE the given date. The detection
date of a report is the storage date when the report
was stored to the server for the first time. The
format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--file [FILE_PATH [FILE_PATH ...]]
Filter results by file path. The file path can contain
multiple * quantifiers which matches any number of
characters (zero or more). So if you have /a/x.cpp and
/a/y.cpp then "/a/*.cpp" selects both.
--checker-name [CHECKER_NAME [CHECKER_NAME ...]]
Filter results by checker names. The checker name can
contain multiple * quantifiers which matches any
number of characters (zero or more). So for example
"*DeadStores" will matches "deadcode.DeadStores"
--checker-msg [CHECKER_MSG [CHECKER_MSG ...]]
Filter results by checker messages.The checker message
can contain multiple * quantifiers which matches any
number of characters (zero or more).
--analyzer-name [ANALYZER_NAME [ANALYZER_NAME ...]]
Filter results by analyzer names. The analyzer name
can contain multiple * quantifiers which match any
number of characters (zero or more). So for example
"clang*" will match "clangsa" and "clang-tidy".
--component [COMPONENT [COMPONENT ...]]
Filter results by source components. This can be used
only if basename or newname is a run name (on the
remote server).
--detected-at TIMESTAMP
DEPRECATED. Use the '--detected-after/--detected-
before' options to filter results by detection date.
Filter results by fix date (fixed after the given
date) if the --detection-status filter option is set
only to Resolved otherwise it filters the results by
detection date (detected after the given date). The
format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--fixed-at TIMESTAMP DEPRECATED. Use the '--fixed-after/--fixed-before'
options to filter results by fix date. Filter results
by fix date (fixed before the given date) if the
--detection-status filter option is set only to
Resolved otherwise it filters the results by detection
date (detected before the given date). The format of
TIMESTAMP is 'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the
"time" part can be omitted, in which case midnight
(00:00:00) is used).
--detected-before TIMESTAMP
Get results which were detected before the given date.
The detection date of a report is the storage date
when the report was stored to the server for the first
time. The format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--detected-after TIMESTAMP
Get results which were detected after the given date.
The detection date of a report is the storage date
when the report was stored to the server for the first
time. The format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--fixed-before TIMESTAMP
Get results which were fixed before the given date.
The format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--fixed-after TIMESTAMP
Get results which were fixed after the given date. The
format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
Source components can be used to group analysis results. A component is a collection of source files defined by regular expressions on the path.
$ CodeChecker cmd components --help (click to expand)
usage: CodeChecker cmd components [-h] [--url PRODUCT_URL]
[--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}]
{list,add,del} ...
Source components are named collection of directories specified as directory
filter.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
available actions:
{list,add,del}
list List source components available on the serve
add Creates a new source component.
del Delete a source component from the server.
$ CodeChecker cmd components add --help (click to expand)
usage: CodeChecker cmd components add [-h] [--description DESCRIPTION] -i
COMPONENT_FILE [--url PRODUCT_URL]
[--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}]
NAME
Creates a new source component or updates an existing one.
positional arguments:
NAME Unique name of the source component.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--description DESCRIPTION
A custom textual description to be shown alongside the
source component.
-i COMPONENT_FILE, --import COMPONENT_FILE
Path to the source component file which contains
multiple file paths. Each file path should start with
a '+' or '-' sign.Results will be listed only from
paths with a '+' sign. Results will not be listed from
paths with a '-' sign. Let's assume there are three
directories: test_files, test_data and test_config. In
the given example only the results from the test_files
and test_data directories will be listed.
E.g.:
+*/test*/*
-*/test_dat*/*
Please see the User guide for more information.
Source component helps us to filter run results by multiple file paths.
Each line in the source component file should begin with a + or a -, followed by
a path glob pattern:
+ONLY results from the matching file paths will be listed-results from the matching file paths will not be listed
Example:
-/dont/list/results/in/directory/*
-/dont/list/this.file
+/dir/list/in/directory/*
+/dir/list.this.file
Results will be listed only from /dir/list/in/directory/* and from the
/dir/list.this.file.
In this case removing the - rules would not change the list of results.
Example 2:
+*/test*
+*/test_files/*
+*/test_data/*
-*/test_p*
Results will be listed only from the directories which name begin with
test except the results form the directories which name begin with test_p.
Note: the order of the source component value is not important. E.g.:
+/a/b/x.cpp
-/a/b/
means the same as
-/a/b/
+/a/b/x.cpp
x.cpp will be included in the run results and all other files under /a/b/
path will not be included.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n [RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...]], --name [RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...]]
Names of the analysis runs. If this argument is not
supplied it will show all runs. This has the following
format: "<run_name_1> <run_name_2> <run_name_3>" where
run names can contain multiple * quantifiers which
matches any number of characters (zero or more). So if
you have run_1_a_name, run_2_b_name, run_2_c_name,
run_3_d_name then "run_2* run_3_d_name" shows the last
three runs.

-n [RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...]], --name [RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...]]
Names of the analysis runs to show history for. If
this argument is not supplied it will show the history
for all runs. This has the following format:
"<run_name_1> <run_name_2> <run_name_3>" where run
names can contain multiple * quantifiers which matches
any number of characters (zero or more). So if you
have run_1_a_name, run_2_b_name, run_2_c_name,
run_3_d_name then "run_2* run_3_d_name" shows history
for the last three runs. Use 'CodeChecker cmd runs' to

[--verbose {info,debug_analyzer,debug}]
Compare two analysis runs to show the results that differ between the two.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b BASE_RUNS [BASE_RUNS ...], --basename BASE_RUNS [BASE_RUNS ...]
The 'base' (left) side of the difference: these
analysis runs are used as the initial state in the
comparison. The parameter can be multiple run names
(on the remote server), multiple local report
directories (result of the analyze command) or
baseline files (generated by the 'CodeChecker parse -e
baseline' command). In case of run name the the
basename can contain * quantifiers which matches any
number of characters (zero or more). So if you have
run-a-1, run-a-2 and run-b-1 then "run-a*" selects the
first two. In case of run names tag labels can also be
used separated by a colon (:) character:
"run_name:tag_name". A run name containing a literal
colon (:) must be escaped: "run\:name".
-n NEW_RUNS [NEW_RUNS ...], --newname NEW_RUNS [NEW_RUNS ...]
The 'new' (right) side of the difference: these
analysis runs are compared to the -b/--basename runs.
The parameter can be multiple run names (on the remote
server), multiple local report directories (result of
the analyze command) or baseline files (generated by
the 'CodeChecker parse -e baseline' command). In case
of run name the newname can contain * quantifiers
which matches any number of characters (zero or more).
So if you have run-a-1, run-a-2 and run-b-1 then
"run-a*" selects the first two. In case of run names
tag labels can also be used separated by a colon (:)
character: "run_name:tag_name". A run name containing
a literal colon (:) must be escaped: "run\:name".
--print-steps Print the steps the analyzers took in finding the
reported defect.
-o {plaintext,rows,table,csv,json,html,gerrit,codeclimate} [{plaintext,rows,table,csv,json,html,gerrit,codeclimate} ...], --output {plaintext,rows,table,csv,json,html,gerrit,codeclimate} [{plaintext,rows,table,csv,json,html,gerrit,codeclimate} ...]
The output format(s) to use in showing the data.
- html: multiple html files will be generated in the
export directory.
- gerrit: a 'gerrit_review.json' file will be
generated in the export directory.
- codeclimate: a 'codeclimate_issues.json' file will
be generated in the export directory.
For the output formats (json, gerrit, codeclimate) if
an export directory is set the output files will be
generated if not the results are printed to the stdout
but only if one format was selected. (default:
['plaintext'])
-e EXPORT_DIR, --export-dir EXPORT_DIR
Store the output in the given folder.
-c, --clean Delete output results stored in the output directory.
(By default, it would keep output files and overwrites
only those that contain any reports).
filter arguments:
--uniqueing {on,off} The same bug may appear several times if it is found
on different execution paths, i.e. through different
function calls. By turning on uniqueing a report
appears only once even if it is found on several
paths. (default: off)
--report-hash [REPORT_HASH [REPORT_HASH ...]]
Filter results by report hashes.
--review-status [REVIEW_STATUS [REVIEW_STATUS ...]]
Filter results by review statuses.
Reports can be assigned a review status of the
following values:
- Unreviewed: Nobody has seen this report.
- Confirmed: This is really a bug.
- False positive: This is not a bug.
- Intentional: This report is a bug but we don't want
to fix it. This can be used only if basename or
newname is a run name (on the remote server).
(default: ['unreviewed', 'confirmed'])
--detection-status [DETECTION_STATUS [DETECTION_STATUS ...]]
Filter results by detection statuses.
The detection status is the latest state of a bug
report in a run. When a unique report is first
detected it will be marked as New. When the report is
stored again with the same run name then the detection
status changes to one of the following options:
- Resolved: when the bug report can't be found after
the subsequent storage.
- Unresolved: when the bug report is still among the
results after the subsequent storage.
- Reopened: when a Resolved bug appears again.
- Off: The bug was reported by a checker that was
switched off during the last analysis which results
were stored.
- Unavailable: were reported by a checker that does
not exists in the analyzer anymore because it was
removed or renamed. This can be used only if basename
or newname is a run name (on the remote server).
(default: ['new', 'reopened', 'unresolved'])
--severity [SEVERITY [SEVERITY ...]]
Filter results by severities.
--bug-path-length BUG_PATH_LENGTH
Filter results by bug path length. This has the
following format:
<minimum_bug_path_length>:<maximum_bug_path_length>.
Valid values are: "4:10", "4:", ":10"
--tag [TAG [TAG ...]]
Filter results by version tag names. This can be used
only if basename or newname is a run name (on the
remote server).
--outstanding-reports-date TIMESTAMP, --open-reports-date TIMESTAMP
Get results which were detected BEFORE the given date
and NOT FIXED BEFORE the given date. The detection
date of a report is the storage date when the report
was stored to the server for the first time. The
format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--file [FILE_PATH [FILE_PATH ...]]
Filter results by file path. The file path can contain
multiple * quantifiers which matches any number of
characters (zero or more). So if you have /a/x.cpp and
/a/y.cpp then "/a/*.cpp" selects both.
--checker-name [CHECKER_NAME [CHECKER_NAME ...]]
Filter results by checker names. The checker name can
contain multiple * quantifiers which matches any
number of characters (zero or more). So for example
"*DeadStores" will matches "deadcode.DeadStores"
--checker-msg [CHECKER_MSG [CHECKER_MSG ...]]
Filter results by checker messages.The checker message
can contain multiple * quantifiers which matches any
number of characters (zero or more).
--analyzer-name [ANALYZER_NAME [ANALYZER_NAME ...]]
Filter results by analyzer names. The analyzer name
can contain multiple * quantifiers which match any
number of characters (zero or more). So for example
"clang*" will match "clangsa" and "clang-tidy".
--component [COMPONENT [COMPONENT ...]]
Filter results by source components. This can be used
only if basename or newname is a run name (on the
remote server).
--detected-at TIMESTAMP
DEPRECATED. Use the '--detected-after/--detected-
before' options to filter results by detection date.
Filter results by fix date (fixed after the given
date) if the --detection-status filter option is set
only to Resolved otherwise it filters the results by
detection date (detected after the given date). The
format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--fixed-at TIMESTAMP DEPRECATED. Use the '--fixed-after/--fixed-before'
options to filter results by fix date. Filter results
by fix date (fixed before the given date) if the
--detection-status filter option is set only to
Resolved otherwise it filters the results by detection
date (detected before the given date). The format of
TIMESTAMP is 'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the
"time" part can be omitted, in which case midnight
(00:00:00) is used).
--detected-before TIMESTAMP
Get results which were detected before the given date.
The detection date of a report is the storage date
when the report was stored to the server for the first
time. The format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--detected-after TIMESTAMP
Get results which were detected after the given date.
The detection date of a report is the storage date
when the report was stored to the server for the first
time. The format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--fixed-before TIMESTAMP
Get results which were fixed before the given date.
The format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
--fixed-after TIMESTAMP
Get results which were fixed after the given date. The
format of TIMESTAMP is
'year:month:day:hour:minute:second' (the "time" part
can be omitted, in which case midnight (00:00:00) is
used).
comparison modes:
List reports that can be found only in baseline or new runs or in both. False
positive and intentional reports are considered as resolved, i.e. these are
excluded from the report set as if they were not reported.
--new Show results that didn't exist in the 'base' but
appear in the 'new' run.
--resolved Show results that existed in the 'base' but
disappeared from the 'new' run.
--unresolved Show results that appear in both the 'base' and the
'new' run.
common arguments:
--url PRODUCT_URL The URL of the product which will be accessed by the
client, in the format of
'[http[s]://]host:port/Endpoint'. (default:
localhost:8001/Default)
--verbose {info,debug_analyzer,debug}
Set verbosity level.
envionment variables:
CC_REPO_DIR Root directory of the sources, i.e. the directory where
the repository was cloned. Use it when generating gerrit
output.
CC_REPORT_URL URL where the report can be found. Use it when generating
gerrit output.
CC_CHANGED_FILES Path of changed files json from Gerrit. Use it when
generating gerrit output.
Exit status
------------------------------------------------
0 - No difference between baseline and newrun
1 - CodeChecker error
2 - There is at least one report difference between baseline and newrun
Example scenario: Compare multiple analysis runs
------------------------------------------------
Compare two runs and show results that didn't exist in the 'run1' but appear in
the 'run2' run:
CodeChecker cmd diff -b run1 -n run2 --new
Compare a remote run with a local report directory and show results that didn't
exist in the remote run 'run1' but appear in the local report directory:
CodeChecker cmd diff -b run1 -n /my_report_dir --new
Compare two runs and show results that exist in both runs and filter results
by multiple severity values:
CodeChecker cmd diff -b run1 -n run2 --unresolved --severity high medium
Compare a baseline file (generated by the 'CodeChecker parse -e baseline'
command) and a local report directory and show new results:
CodeChecker cmd diff -b /reports.baseline -n /my_report_dir --new
The command can be used in local or remote compare modes.
In local mode the results of a local analysis (see CodeChecker analyze)
can be compared to the results stored (see CodeChecker store) on a remote
CodeChecker server or two local report directories can be compared:
- Compare a local analysis directory and a remote run:
CodeChecker cmd diff -p 8001 --basename my_project --newname ./my_updated_plists --new
- Compare two local analysis directories:
CodeChecker cmd diff --basename ./my_updated_plists_base --newname ./my_updated_plists_new --new
In remote compare mode, two runs stored on a remote CodeChecker server can be compared to each other:
CodeChecker cmd diff -p 8001 --basename my_project --newname my_new_checkin --newNote: unique report identifiers are used to compare analysis results. For more information see analyzer report identification documentation.
Let's assume you have the following C++ code:
int foo(int z)
{
if (z == 0)
return 1 / z; // Division by zero
return 0;
}
int bar(int x)
{
int y;
y = x % 2; // deadcode.DeadStores
return x % 2;
}If you log (CodeChecker log -o compile_command.json -b "g++ example.cpp"),
analyze (CodeChecker analyze -o ./test_report_dir compile_command.json) and
parse (CodeChecker parse ./test_report_dir) this code with CodeChecker you
will get a Division by zero warning in the foo function and a
deadcode.DeadStores warning in the bar function.
Let's store it to a running CodeChecker server with run name test_run_name
(CodeChecker store -n test_run_name ./test_report_dir).
Now let's fix one of the previous warning in the foo function and create a
new function which contains a new warning:
int foo(int z)
{
if (z != 0)
return 1 / z;
return 0;
}
int bar(int x)
{
int y;
y = x % 2; // deadcode.DeadStores
return x % 2;
}
void baz(int *p)
{
if (!p)
*p = 0; // core.NullDereference
}Analyze the above code again with CodeChecker to the same report
directory (CodeChecker analyze -o ./test_report_dir compile_command.json).
If you parse the results (CodeChecker parse ./test_report_dir) you will get
a deadcode.DeadStores warning in the bar function and a
core.NullDereference warning in the baz function but the previous warning
in the foo function will be disappeared because we fixed it.
Now let's compare our local report directory (test_report_dir)
to the results stored on a remote CodeChecker server previously
(test_run_name). We have 3 options:
- Show results that didn't exist in the remote run but appear in the local
report directory (
new):CodeChecker cmd diff --basename test_run_name --newname ./test_report_dir --new
[HIGH] example.cpp:20:8: Dereference of null pointer (loaded from variable 'p') [core.NullDereference]
*p = 0; // core.NullDereference
- Show results that existed in the remote run but disappeared from the local
report directory run (
resolved):CodeChecker cmd diff --basename test_run_name --newname ./test_report_dir --resolved
[HIGH] example.cpp:4:14: Division by zero [core.DivideZero]
return 1 / z; // Division by zero
- Show results that appear in both the remote run and the local report
directory too (
unresolved):CodeChecker cmd diff --basename test_run_name --newname ./test_report_dir --unresolved
[LOW] example.cpp:12:3: Value stored to 'y' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
y = x % 2; // deadcode.DeadStores

[USERNAME]
Certain CodeChecker servers can require elevated privileges to access analysis
results. In such cases it is mandatory to authenticate to the server. This
action is used to perform an authentication in the command-line.
positional arguments:
USERNAME The username to authenticate with. (default: <username>)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --deactivate, --logout
Send a logout request to end your privileged session.
common arguments:
--url SERVER_URL The URL of the server to access, in the format of
'[http[s]://]host:port'. (default: localhost:8001)
--verbose {info,debug,debug_analyzer}
Set verbosity level.
If a server requires privileged access, you must
log in before you can access the data on the particular server. Once
authenticated, your session is available for some time and CodeChecker cmd
can be used normally.
The password can be saved on the disk. If such "preconfigured" password is not found, the user will be asked, in the command-line, to provide credentials.
--export-source-suppress
Write suppress data from the suppression annotations
found in the source files that were analyzed earlier
that created the results.
CodeChecker parse ./my_plists --suppress generated.suppress --export-source-suppressusage: CodeChecker cmd export [-h] [-n RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...]]
[--url PRODUCT_URL]
[--verbose {info,debug_analyzer,debug}]
Export data (comments, review statuses) from a running CodeChecker server into
a json format
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...], --name RUN_NAME [RUN_NAME ...]
Name of the analysis run.For redirecting the output to a json file, use the command:
CodeChecker cmd export -n <run_name_1> <run_name_2> ... 2>/dev/null | python -m json.tool > <file_name>.jsonIn the above command multiple runs can be pass as, the ... indicate any additional runs, if needed to be provided
usage: CodeChecker cmd import [-h] -i JSON_FILE [--url PRODUCT_URL]
[--verbose {info,debug_analyzer,debug}]
Import the results into CodeChecker server
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i JSON_FILE, --import JSON_FILE
Import findings from the json file into the database.The JSON output format looks like this:
{
"analyzer": {
"base_package_version": "6.19.0",
"package_build_date": "2021-12-15T16:07",
"git_commit": "ed16b5d58f75002b465ea0944be0abf071f0b958",
