Issue while adding custom queries

[chiragagrawal026]

Hey this is the error I'm facing while creating custom queries in codeql Javascript.

Error: Error running analysis for javascript: Error: Failure invoking /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/0.0.0-20220923/x64/codeql/codeql with arguments database,interpret-results,--threads=2,--format=sarif-latest,-v,--output=../results/javascript.sarif,--no-sarif-add-snippets,--print-diagnostics-summary,--print-metrics-summary,--sarif-group-rules-by-pack,--sarif-add-query-help,--sarif-category,/language:javascript,/home/runner/work/_temp/codeql_databases/javascript,/home/runner/work/_temp/codeql_databases/javascript-queries-builtin.qls,/home/runner/work/_temp/codeql_databases/javascript-queries-custom-0.qls,/home/runner/work/_temp/codeql_databases/javascript-queries-custom-1.qls.

Please help I have a project due tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.

Could you please share the full error log, or a link to a public workflow run? The actual error is further down from the snippet you shared.

A fatal error occurred: Could not process query metadata for /home/runner/work/edp/edp/.github/codeql-queries/grid-js-queries/outbound-request.ql.
  Error was: Cannot process query metadata for a query without the '@kind' metadata property. To learn more, see https://codeql.github.com/docs/writing-codeql-queries/metadata-for-codeql-queries/ [NO_KIND_SPECIFIED]

This is the error. Your custom query is missing the query metadata section, particularly @kind path-problem. Please see https://codeql.github.com/docs/writing-codeql-queries/metadata-for-codeql-queries for more information. Thanks for trying out CodeQL and developing your own queries!
