We'd like to make it easier for a user going through the CodeQL Tour to write their queries. To help them along, we can generate skeleton QL packs once we know which database they're using, instead of expecting them to know how to create this themselves. We're then able to download the necessary dependencies for their CodeQL queries. This checks that we're running the CodeTour by looking for the `codeQL.codespacesTemplate` setting.
CodeQL for Visual Studio Code
This project is an extension for Visual Studio Code that adds rich language support for CodeQL. It's used to find problems in code bases using CodeQL. It's written primarily in TypeScript.
The extension is released. You can download it from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
To see what has changed in the last few versions of the extension, see the Changelog.
Features
- Enables you to use CodeQL to query databases and discover problems in codebases.
- Shows the flow of data through the results of path queries, which is essential for triaging security results.
- Provides an easy way to run queries from the large, open source repository of CodeQL security queries.
- Adds IntelliSense to support you writing and editing your own CodeQL query and library files.
Project goals and scope
This project will track new feature development in CodeQL and, whenever appropriate, bring that functionality to the Visual Studio Code experience.
