Checking sources and sinks
--------------------------
Initially, you should make sure that the ``source`` and ``sink`` definitions contain what you expect. If either the ``source`` or ``sink`` is empty then there can never be any data flow. The easiest way to check this is using quick evaluation in CodeQL for VS Code. Select the text ``node instanceof MySource``, right-click, and choose "CodeQL: Quick Evaluation". This will evaluate the highlighted text, which in this case means the set of sources. For more information, see :ref:`Analyzing your projects <
