The controller repo is set via the `codeQL.variantAnalysis.controllerRepo` setting in VSCode. While we have validation to check that the repo is not null and the format of the controller repo is correct: `<owner>/<repo>`, we still allow you to provide a non-existent repo (e.g. a mispelled one). When the MRVA request is sent over to the API, it will verify that the repo exists and return a very generic "Not Found" response. This will then be logged out in the "Output" tab for VSCode. We'd like to give users a better indication of what has gone wrong in this case so we're making the error message more verbose.

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.
