René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Support for locally present bundles","articleBody":"I would like to run code-scanning with a custom code-scanning bundle\r\nthat already is present on my local disk.  I can currently do that by\r\nmaking the following hack:\r\n\r\n### 1 Install bundle in tool cache:\r\n\r\nUse `toolCache.cacheDir` to install the bundle with a specially crafted ID:\r\n\r\n```js\r\ntc.cacheDir(localBundlePath, 'CodeQL', \"0.0.0-XXX-DUMMY-BUNDLE-ID\");\r\n```\r\n\r\n### 2 Convince codeql to look in the tool cache:\r\n\r\nThe codeql action is then invoked with a dummy URL that will make codeql.ts lookup the bundle with the specially crafted ID:\r\n\r\n```yaml\r\n        ...\r\n        tools: dummy://codeql-bundle-XXX-DUMMY-BUNDLE-ID/dummy\r\n        ...\r\n```\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nThis works, but I would like a more reliable solution.  I am not sure\r\nwhat the best approach is for supporting my use case, but I am happy\r\nto look into implementing a suggestion.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/esbena","@type":"Person","name":"esbena"},"datePublished":"2020-08-20T09:59:45.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/154/codeql-action/issues/154"}
