How do i run a saved project from command line in CppCheck

Question

I created a project in CppCheck named CppCheck_MainRls.cppcheck that includes several directories, i can run the project from the gui and it's working. my project is huge so i only need a few directories to pass through CppCheck and export the result into xml file (later to be read by jenkins)

The current command line is:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Cppcheck\CppCheck.exe" --enable=all  --xml-version=2 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\MainRls\workspace\Labs\VC++\AllShared" 2> cppcheck_result.xml

which is working great for the "AllShared" directory, how can i change it to read my project file?

Answer 1

I am a cppcheck developer. Currently, you can't use a gui project file directly in the shell client. However it is a good idea to allow it.

Answer 2

As of April 2020 (cppcheck v1.90), this is supported per the cppcheck manual (PDF) section 3.1:

3.1 Cppcheck GUI project

You can import and use Cppcheck GUI project files in the command line tool:

cppcheck --project=foobar.cppcheck
