In the original flow for creating skeleton packs, we were starting out by choosing a database (e.g. github/codeql) and having the extension create the QL pack for us. At that point, we were storing the QL pack together with the database in the extension storage because we weren't interested in committing it to the repo. This means we weren't able to see it in the file explorer so in order to make it visible, we decided to push it as a top-level folder in the workspace. Hindsight is 20/20. Let's change this original flow by just creating the folder in the workspace storage instead of the extension storage (which will make it visible in the file explorer) and stop pushing it as an extra top level folder in the workspace. NB: For this flow, we exit early in the `createSkeletonPacks` method if the folder already exists so we don't need to check this again.
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.
Contributing
This project welcomes contributions. See CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to build, install, and contribute.
