This adds the external API query text to the extension directly to avoid users having to copy the query to their local `codeql` submodule or having to checkout a specific branch. This is a temporary solution until the queries are stabilized. Once they are, we will upstream these to `github/codeql` and use them like other contextual queries. Since this is just a temporary solution, this is not the prettiest code and is not intended to be a long-term solution. It does not do proper caching and will create a new temporary directory for every query run. The performance hit of this is acceptable and expected.
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.
