I believe this doesn't change the user-visible behaviour at all. The user won't be prompted to log in any more or less often than they would have done before. One benefit of this is that we can remove the registerListeners method because we no longer need to know if the cached octokit is still valid. Instead we just call vscode.authentication.getSession every time and it will return the current session, which might be different from the last time we called it. This might prompt the user to log in, but that would have happened anyway because when the session changed we would have overwritten our cached octokit instance. Another benefit is that we no longer need the extension context and this removed a surprisingly large amount of code where we are passing this parameter around because we need it for the credentials. The only downside I can see is that we call getSession more often and create more javascript objects in general. I believe the performance impact of this will be negligible and not worth worrying about.
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.
Dependencies
This extension depends on the following two extensions for required functionality. They will be installed automatically when you install VS Code CodeQL.
Contributing
This project welcomes contributions. See CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to build, install, and contribute.
