We introduced this QlPackGenerator a while ago. It always creates an `example.ql` query file as part of the skeleton pack.
We'd like to set the name of the query file, since we'll allow the user to create queries multiple times in the same skeleton pack folder.
The folder will be named `codeql-custom-queries-${language}` and will first receive an `example.ql` file.
If the user then tries to create a new query for the same language, we'll just create an `example2.ql`, `example3.ql` etc. file in the existing folder.
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.
