Before you install the Black Duck Code Sight extension, you should make sure your system is ready for it.
You should already have installed the following software:
-
A supported version of Visual Studio Code
You can download VS Code from https://code.visualstudio.com/download.
CAUTION: These steps do not apply to Microsoft Visual Studio. -
A code project to work with
For languages that Code Sight supports in Visual Studio Code, please see the Code Sight support matrix.
Important:
If you want to analyze source code written in a compiled language such as C, C++, C#, Java, and so on, then you need to
provide information about creating a build to your project-specific coverity.conf file.
See the following section, How do I enable Coverity (SAST) scans within Visual Studio Code?, for instructions on how to do so.
Important:
If you want to analyze Kotlin source code, then you also need to
provide Kotlin-specific information to your project-specific coverity.conf file.
See Set up Kotlin analysis for Eclipse, IntelliJ, or Visual Studio Code for instructions on how to do so.
For information about managing which scan engines have been installed and authenticated, please see Reviewing and updating authenticated scan engines and the two procedure pages that follow it.
