As recommended here https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/1369#issuecomment-1142418037, we want to stay in sync with the current node version shipped with
VSCode (v16.13.0):
32d40cf44e/remote/.yarnrc (L2)
For this we can add a `.nvmrc` file to alert nvm to switch to the preferred version automatically.
It will also help prevent builds from failing when setting up the project for the first time, as building the extension currently fails in Node v18: https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/issues/1373
We're also updating the docs to mention using `nvm` to manage node versions and point to the right place to check for current supported versions.
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.
