v2.12.5

New features

• The codeql pack install command now accepts a --additional-packs option. This option takes a list of directories to search for locally available packs when resolving which packs to install. Any pack that is found locally through --additional-packs will override any other version of a pack found in the package registry. Locally resolved packs are not added to the lock file.

  Because the use of --additional-packs when running codeql pack install makes running queries dependent on the local state of the machine initially invoking codeql pack install, a warning is emitted if any pack is found outside of the package registry. This warning can be suppressed by using the --no-strict-mode option.

Bugs fixed

• Fix a bug in codeql query run where queries whose path contain colons cannot be run.
