Step 2: Setup your environment

We will use the CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code. You will take advantage of IDE features like auto-complete, contextual help and jump-to-definition.

Don't worry, you'll do this setup only once, and you'll be able to use it for future CodeQL development.

Follow the instructions below.

  3. Set up the starter workspace.
    • Important: Don't forget to git clone --recursive or git submodule update --init --remote, so that you obtain the standard query libraries.
  4. Open the starter workspace: File > Open Workspace > Browse to vscode-codeql-starter/vscode-codeql-starter.code-workspace.
  5. Download the esbena_bootstrap-pre-27047_javascript CodeQL database.
  6. Import the database into Visual Studio Code:
    • Click the CodeQL icon in the left sidebar.
    • Place your mouse over Databases, and click Choose Database from Archive.
    • Select the bootstrap database you just downloaded.
  7. Clone this course repository on your local machine.
  8. Add the course repository to your Visual Studio Code starter workspace, by navigating to File > Add Folder to Workspace... If you open this folder you should see several files in there, including qlpack.yml and README.md.
