Hi there! We're thrilled that you'd like to contribute to this project. Your help is essential for keeping it great.
Contributions to this project are [released](https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/#6-contributions-under-repository-license) to the public under the [project's open source license](LICENSE).
Please note that this project is released with a [Contributor Code of Conduct][code-of-conduct]. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.
## Development and Testing
Before you start, ensure that you have a recent version of node installed. You can see which version of node is used by the action in `init/action.yml`.
### Common tasks
* Transpile the TypeScript to JavaScript: `npm run build`. Note that the JavaScript files are committed to git.
* Run tests: `npm run test`. Youll need to ensure that the JavaScript files are up-to-date first by running the command above.
* Run the linter: `npm run lint`.
This project also includes configuration to run tests from VSCode (with support for breakpoints) - open the test file you wish to run and choose "Debug AVA test file" from the Run menu in the Run panel.
### Running the action
To see the effect of your changes and to test them, push your changes in a branch and then look at the [Actions output](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/actions) for that branch. You can also exercise the code locally by running the automated tests.
### Running the action locally
It is possible to run this action locally via [act](https://github.com/nektos/act) via the following steps:
1. Create a GitHub [Personal Access Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) (PAT).
1. Install [act](https://github.com/nektos/act) v0.2.10 or greater.
1. Add a `.env` file in the root of the project you are running:
```bash
CODEQL_LOCAL_RUN=true
GITHUB_SERVER_URL=https://github.com
# Optional, for better logging
GITHUB_JOB=<ANY_JOB_NAME>
```
1. Run `act -j codeql -s GITHUB_TOKEN=<PAT>`
Running locally will generate the CodeQL database and run all the queries, but it will avoid uploading and reporting results to GitHub. Note that this must be done on a repository that _consumes_ this action, not this repository. The use case is to debug failures of this action on specific repositories.
### Integration tests
As well as the unit tests (see _Common tasks_ above), there are integration tests, defined in `.github/workflows/integration-testing.yml`. These are run by a CI check. Depending on the change youre making, you may want to add a test to this file or extend an existing one.

### Building the CodeQL runner
2020-08-24 16:21:03 +03:00
Navigate to the `runner` directory and run `npm install` to install dependencies needed only for compiling the CodeQL runner. Run `npm run build-runner` to output files to the `runner/dist` directory.
## Submitting a pull request
1. [Fork][fork] and clone the repository
2. Create a new branch: `git checkout -b my-branch-name`
3. Make your change, add tests, and make sure the tests still pass
4. Push to your fork and [submit a pull request][pr]
5. Pat yourself on the back and wait for your pull request to be reviewed and merged.
If you're a GitHub staff member, you can merge your own PR once it's approved; for external contributors, GitHub staff will merge your PR once it's approved.
Here are a few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:
- Write tests.
- Keep your change as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as separate pull requests.
- Write a [good commit message](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html).
