| name | generate-elm-from-cql |
| description | Regenerate ELM JSON files after adding or changing CQL input files in a test/library-set project (e.g. CoreTests/Input/ELM/HL7). Use when the user adds CQL files and needs the corresponding ELM generated. |
Generate ELM from CQL
CqlToolingEnabled is defined centrally in packaging-tooling.props (default false, with a commented-out true override) and imported by library-set-style projects such as CoreTests.csproj. It's shared, not per-project — flipping it affects every project that imports that file, so toggle it, build, then revert promptly rather than leaving it flipped:
- Uncomment the
<CqlToolingEnabled>true</CqlToolingEnabled> override in packaging-tooling.props.
- Build the specific project whose CQL files changed (e.g.
dotnet build Cql/CoreTests/CoreTests.csproj) — this generates the ELM files.
- Confirm an ELM file was generated for every CQL file. The output location is that project's
ElmDirectory MSBuild property (for CoreTests, that's Input/ELM/HL7).
- Re-comment the override back to
false before committing — don't leave codegen enabled for other builds.
