When opening https://github.com/github/codespaces-codeql/ in a codespace, it's easy to miss the prompt that tells you to open the tutorial.code-workspace file. In fact people actively dismiss the alert to get it out of the way. If you miss that prompt, you end up with a single-rooted workspace, which causes various other problems. While there is an open issue to allow VS Code to open a default workspace [1], there doesn't seem to have been any progress on it in the last two years. So we're taking matters into our own hands and forcing the extension to open the tutorial workspace, if it detects it. This will only happen if the following three conditions are met: - the .tours folder exists - the tutorial.code-workspace file exists - the CODESPACES_TEMPLATE setting hasn't been set NB: the `CODESPACES_TEMPLATE` setting can only be found if the tutorial.code-workspace has already been opened. So it's a good indicator that we're in the folder, but the user has ignored the prompt. [1]: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/3665
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.
- Supports you running CodeQL queries against thousands of repositories on GitHub using multi-repository variant analysis.
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.
Dependencies
This extension depends on the following two extensions for required functionality. They will be installed automatically when you install VS Code CodeQL.
