Output formats

Basic output

log/- contains idea.log, gradle.log, and so on.
projectStructure/- Metainformation about your project: modules, frameworks/libraries, roots, and so on.
report/- HTML report (generated via --save-report/ --show-report)
profile.xml- effective profile in the IDEA format: all inspections and their configurations. Depends on the configured profile, qodana.yaml, and the plugin list.
.descriptions.json- descriptions for all inspections.
%InspectionId%.json- contains all problems generated by the inspection with this ID: %InspectionId% message, place, severity, and so on.

UI-compatible output

In addition to programmatic output, you can generate human readable output in the HTML format by using the --save-report argument.

Local run

Due to JavaScript security restrictions, the generated report cannot be viewed via the file:// protocol (that is, by double-clicking the index.html file). Instead, you can use the --show-report argument to serve the HTML report locally via the http:// protocol. To view the report in the already generated report/ folder:

Docker
docker run -it --rm -p 8000:80 -v $(pwd)/report:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
Python
If you have python installed, you can serve current folder content via:
cd report/ python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer # or python3 -m http.server
PHP
If you have PHP installed, you can serve current folder content via:
cd report/ php -S localhost:8000

Report would be available at http://localhost:8000, you can stop the web server by pressing Ctrl-C.

GitLab CI

In case of GitLab CI, you can directly view the report by opening report/index.html from artifacts.

Github action

For Github Action, consider uploading artifacts to some s3 bucket or using Qodana Github App instead.
