There were still references to a pinned version of VS Code used in the integration tests, but this was resolved in https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/2877.

# Node version
|
|
|
|
The CodeQL for VS Code extension defines the version of Node.js that it is intended to run with. This Node.js version is used when running most CI and unit tests.
|
|
|
|
When running in production (i.e. as an extension for a VS Code application) it will use the Node.js version provided by VS Code. This can mean a different Node.js version is used by different users with different versions of VS Code.
|
|
We should make sure the CodeQL for VS Code extension works with the Node.js version supplied by all versions of VS Code that we support.
|
|
|
|
## Checking the version of Node.js supplied by VS Code
|
|
|
|
You can find this info by selecting "About Visual Studio Code" from the top menu.
|

|
## Updating the Node.js version
|
|
|
|
To update the Node.js version, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx ts-node scripts/update-node-version.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Node.js version used in tests
|
|
|
|
Unit tests will use whatever version of Node.js is installed locally. In CI this will be the version specified in the workflow.
|
|
|
|
Integration tests download a copy of VS Code and then will use whatever version of Node.js is provided by VS Code. See [VS Code version used in tests](./vscode-version.md#vs-code-version-used-in-tests) for more information.
