Allow index-files to specify file target list? #74
Description
Instead of manually specifying --include=src/file1.js, --include=src/file2.js, --include=src/file3.js, etc, hundred/thousands of times for large projects, it would be really handy if I could just provide the list of files I want indexed.
Usage would look like:
codeql database index-files --language=javascript --file-list=targets.txt my_databaseAnd targets.txt would look like:
src/file1.js
src/file2.js
src/file3.js
(Obviously in a real world use-case, it would be a much longer list.)
Semi-related: #9.

Are you interested in indexing a fixed list of files, rather than using a glob pattern (which
--includealready supports)?Manouchehri commentedon Jul 28, 2021
That's correct!

Could you do something like:
This wouldn't work for 100s of files, but might work for a handful.

That would work, but yeah, my use-case is in the >1,000 range of files. =)

This might be something we want to support more directly, but I imagine you could achieve what you need with
xargsin the meantime.
