When codeql library developers are working on PrintAST queries, it is not easy to use the AST Viewer. The AST Viewer caches results so that multiple calls to view the AST of the same file are nearly instantaneous. However, this breaks down if you are changing the actual queries that perform AST viewing. In this case, you do not want the cache to be active. This commit adds an undocumented setting that prevents caching. To enable, set: ``` "codeQL.isCanary": true, "codeQL.astViewer.disableCache": true ``` Note that *both* settings must be true for this to work. This behaviour and all canary behaviour should be documented somewhere. I will add that later.
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.
