+ The build mode that will be used to analyze the language. This input is only available when
+ analyzing a single CodeQL language per job, for example using a matrix.
Available build modes will differ based on the language being analyzed. One of:
- - none: The database will be created without building the source code.
- Available for all interpreted languages and some compiled languages.
- - autobuild: The database will be created by attempting to automatically build the source code.
- To use this build mode, ensure that your workflow calls the `autobuild` action
- between the `init` and `analyze` steps.
- Available for all compiled languages.
- - manual: The database will be created by building the source code using a manually specified
- build command. To use this build mode, specify manual build steps in your workflow
- between the `init` and `analyze` steps. Available for all compiled languages.
