On Windows, we were showing the full path to the query, rather than just the filename. This is because the `path` package being imported was actually `path-browserify` which only claims support for POSIX. Since Windows uses backslashes rather than forward slashes for paths, this resulted in the full path being shown. This creates a new `basename` function that works on both POSIX and Windows by detecting whether a POSIX or Windows path is given. This ensures that the correct path is shown on Windows, and will also ensure that we show the correct path on Linux if the user has opened a variant analysis that was originally created on Windows.
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.
Contributing
This project welcomes contributions. See CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to build, install, and contribute.
