Analyze a project locally

Qodana provides two options for local analysis of your code. Qodana CLI is the easiest option to start. Alternatively, you can use the Docker command from the Docker image tab.

Assuming that you have already installed Qodana CLI on your machine, you can run this command in the project root directory:

qodana scan \
   -e QODANA_TOKEN="<cloud-project-token>" \
   -l jetbrains/qodana-go:2023.2 \
   --show-report

Here, the QODANA_TOKEN variable refers to the project token.

To start, pull the image from Docker Hub (only necessary to get the latest version):

docker pull jetbrains/qodana-go:2023.2

Start local analysis with source-directory pointing to the root of your project and QODANA_TOKEN referring to the project token:

docker run --rm -it \
   -v <source-directory>/:/data/project/ \
   -e QODANA_TOKEN="<cloud-project-token>" \
   -p 8080:8080 \
   jetbrains/qodana-go:2023.2 \
   --show-report

Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser to examine inspection results. Here, you can also reconfigure the analysis, see the Inspection report section for details. When done, you can stop the web server by pressing Ctrl-C in the console.
